• 'F' is for the 'Flyer' (nyacknewsandviews.com) — Piermont features prominently in this history of the luxurious “Flyer” commuter train and the rail lines that once linked Nyack, Piermont, and Jersey City. The article traces how Piermont’s pier, stations, and celebrations shaped 19th- and early 20th-century travel, then explains how highways and bridges eventually ended local passenger rail service by 1965. 
• Vincent Pastore remembered by longtime friend, fellow actor from Rockland County (news12.com) — A longtime Rockland County friend of actor Vincent Pastore recalls decades of collaborations and frequent meals together in Piermont, which he came to see as a second home. The piece looks back on Pastore’s humor, work in local productions, and deep ties to Rockland as family and friends prepare for his funeral in New Rochelle.
