Cochecton Center post office closed

Building empty over lease dispute

By FRITZ MAYER

COCHECTON CENTER, NY—Residents who’ve been around for a while say there has been a post office in Cochecton Center for more than 100 years, since the days of the pony express. That ended on November 5, when the post office that has long operated within Heinle’s General Store, moved its operation to the post office at Lake Huntington. The move came amid a dispute between the owners of the business that operates in the building and the owner of the building.

With her husband and a partner, Selena DeMarco opened Ronnie D’s Deli and Pizzeria in July 2007. She bought the business, but not the building from Paul Shin. She named the business after her son who died in February 2006 in a car accident. The business was supposed to help keep the memory of her son alive.
