Vote for Orange County’s best locally owned diner in our poll

Everyone loves diners, whether it's for pancakes, eggs and coffee in the morning, a beefy burger for lunch or a filling family dinner, and there are many great local places to go. So what's the best diner in Orange County? That is the question in this week's Orange County Showdown poll. We're looking for the best locally owned diner, not one associated with a nationally recognized chain. As with a recent poll on the best pizza parlor in the county, we can't include every diner in the county. There are just too many. But we have selected diners representing a cross-section of the entire county. So go to the poll below. If you see one of your favorites there, let us know what it is. The poll will be open until midnight on Nov. 12. We'll report the results the following day. Mike Randall covers breaking news for the Times Herald-Record and the Poughkeepsie Journal. Reach him at mrandall@th-record,com. This article originally appeared on Times Herald-Record: Vote for Orange County’s best locally owned diner in our poll

Election Day fallout, big changes in Rockland: Angle

The midterms are over, and Rockland's gonna see a lot of change come January. A big one: Our two-term member of Congress, Republican Mike Lawler, lost to political newcomer Democrat Cait Conley . (You can find our exclusive Q&A with Conley here .) Though the Pearl River resident was up by more than 8 percentage points in Rockland, according to unofficial results, Westchester pushed the blue wave forward. The pattern became clear election night, even with a Westchester County ballot mess that delayed quick results, and Lawler called Conley election night to concede . Rockland is part of New York Congressional District 17, which also includes Putnam and parts of Westchester and Dutchess counties. That blue wave continued to sweep through Rockland . In state Senate District 38, which encompasses the towns of Orangetown, Clarkstown, Ramapo and Haverstraw, even a shout-out by President Trump on X to Monsey's Jewish community didn't save incumbent Republican Sen. Bill Weber. Democratic challenger Joe Rand got his share of what's often dubbed as the "bloc vote" for its high turnout and frequent unity behind a single candidate. Like this year showed, at least in this race, the bloc vote is not always a monolith.

A New Jersey shopper walked into Walmart and found the clothing aisles blocked off because selling them that day is illegal

Most Walmart stores sell just about everything seven days a week, but one corner of New Jersey still plays by rules written for a very different era. TikTok user @joselwees found that out on a Sunday trip to Walmart in Bergen County, where the clothing section was closed off to shoppers. His short video about it has drawn hundreds of thousands of views. In the clip, the creator explained that he is new to New Jersey and had no idea about the rule. He told viewers that in Bergen County it is illegal to sell clothes on a Sunday, so at Walmart, “they basically close off all the clothes.” The footage pans across racks of coats and other clothing that shoppers could see but could not buy that day. The creator ended the video by asking his followers for an explanation, saying “I need answers.” His caption was shorter and more pointed, calling the situation “petty,” while the on-screen text simply asked what was going on in Bergen County. The answer, as several commenters quickly explained, is a set of blue laws that has survived in the county for decades. Bergen County’s blue laws still ban Sunday clothing sales Bergen
