Today's riddle: Where do math teachers go on vacation? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• The Jacob Burns Film Center: Where Art Meets Community (westchestermagazine.com) — Pleasantville's Jacob Burns Film Center is marking 25 years as a cultural and economic anchor downtown, drawing about 200,000 visits a year that also support local restaurants and shops. Founded by resident Steve Apkon, the center now offers five theaters, a media arts lab, visiting-artist housing, and extensive education programs that bring thousands of Westchester students into Pleasantville to learn through film.
• Usonian Utopia (dwell.com) — A new home called Thornwood has just been built in Pleasantville's historic Usonia district, the first in about three decades among the Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired houses there. Designed within the Lindal Imagine Series, it reinterprets classic Usonian principles for contemporary living, blending Wright's signature spatial ideas with modern materials to attract new admirers to this unique Pleasantville neighborhood.
• Go, Coyote, Go!: Looney Tunes Cast Shines in the Biggest Hit of the Summer (highbrowmagazine.com) — Local moviegoers packed Theater 2 at Pleasantville's Jacob Burns Film Center to see the new family-friendly hit Coyote vs. Acme, a live-action and animation blend featuring classic Looney Tunes characters. The reviewer describes a rare full house, enthusiastic applause, and a story that mixes slapstick, legal satire, and nostalgia, making it a fun option for Pleasantville families and adults alike.
