Catch ‘Seven Wonders’ On TV Today
-
- July
- 31
Regular readers of my column (See July 10 and 29 efforts) know that I have scoured the neighborhoods of Westchester and Putnam counties to come up with a purely parochial list of “Seven Wonders,” defined loosely as odd man-made things that mildly shock and awe. In the course of this important study, I solicited suggestions from readers who came up with some whoppers.
Now, you may have noticed that no photographs of the ‘wonders’ appeared in print…and so, you may have wondered what some of the wonders actually looked like. Well, wonder no more. If you’ve got a cable hookup, you can see a piece did on the Seven Wonders which will air today between 5 and 6 p.m. on RNN-TV’s Newscenter Now. I’m sorry I can’t give a precise time, but that’s the news business.
The piece begins with the so-called ‘Skinny House’ in Mamaroneck and concludes with the stupefying Roundabout in Mount Vernon.

Phil Reisman is a veteran journalist and native of Westchester County. He began his career in 1977 as the head copy boy of a startup New York City newspaper that quickly went belly up. Reisman was not to blame for the newspaper's failure, or so he claims.
You knew I couldn’t resist this.
What’s real big, absolutely environmentally pristine, noiseless, and grants prosperity and well-being to all residents within 150 miles, while playing host to bunnies, raccoons, possums, deer and about 450 turkeys, as well as over a dozen bald eagles? What is this wonder that maintains a primeval 250 acre nature preserve along the only stretch of Hudson shore free of annoying railroad tracks, and simultaneously lights up the Westchester Mall, One Gannett Drive, and all the great apartment houses along Palmer road??? What is this ultra mysterious rival of the great pyramid of Cheops, only its TWO pyramids of Cheops (with the corners buffed off)?
Yep.
It’s not Andy Spano.
It’s not Nita Lowey.
It’s Indian Point Energy Center
Have a nice day, full of wonders.
Biggie, you’re back! One of your anti-nuke adversairies already suggested Indian Point but for opposite reasons.
Two votes already Phil. It’s in the air, I tell ya’ it’s in the air. Ya’ can’t stop it if it’s in the air.
My vote goes to the musical statue in Mount Vernon. All this time I thought I was the only non-resident of Mount Vernon that knew about the music, since I’m driving around without air conditioning, I assumed I was the only person who could actually hear it!

I just got my own USB rocket launcher
Awsome thing.
Plug into your computer and you got a remote controlled office missile launcher with 360 degrees horizontal and 45 degree vertival rotation with a range of more than 6 meters – which gives you a coverage of 113 square meters round your workplace.
