Today in Pleasantville-Briarcliff: Lighthouses Lecture; Relief from the Heat

Patch wants to make your life a little bit easier. Here are a few things to keep in mind today in Briarcliff Manor and Pleasantville:

1. Wonder what the above picture is? Yesterday evening, Pleasantville's Board of Trustees heard an updated presentation by Benchmark Senior Living, regarding its proposal to build an 87-unit assisted living facility adjacent to the United Methodist Church on Bedford Road. The snapshot above depicts a rendering presented to the board. Check back with Patch for more details about the proposal soon.

2. Author, photographer and lecturer Kevin Woyce will be at the Mount Pleasant Public Library at 7 p.m. this evening to discuss the history of lighthouses. Get the details here.

3. Hudson Line commuters—Metro North reports as of Monday night: "Late-night busing will be in effect on the Hudson Line south of Yonkers from July 22-July 25th beginning at 10 PM and continuing for the remainder of the evening...Customers should expect additional travel time of 30-45 minutes."

4. Sick of your steering wheel being too hot to the touch? Relief may be on the way in the form of scattered thunderstorms today.

5. Kids from all over Westchester and Putnam counties are performing in the Random Farm Theater production of Shrek: The Musical this weekend at the Tarrytown Music Hall.
