• MTA Police Identify Five Suspects in Port Chester Machete, Knife Fight; One Charged With First-Degree Assault (talkofthesound.com) — A violent clash involving machetes, knives, and razor blades at the Metro-North Port Chester station garage left two people badly injured and has now led to five arrests, including a 20-year-old Port Chester man charged with first-degree assault. Police describe escalating confrontations that began downtown, a burned shirt posted on social media, and a late-night fight involving up to ten males. MTA, Port Chester, and Rye Brook police continue to investigate and say more arrests are possible.
   

• Norah Jones - Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, 11-8-2015 (blogspot.com) — Fans of Port Chester's Capitol Theatre might enjoy this deep dive into a newly surfaced mono soundboard recording of Norah Jones's 2015 show at the venue. The post explains how the high-quality, 95-minute concert tape emerged from an April 2026 leak of Port Chester performances and highlights the career-spanning setlist. It's a nostalgic look at a notable night in the village's music history, not an upcoming event.
