WPCNR MAIN STREET JOURNAL. January 1, 2010: White Plains favorite son Adam Bradley became the seventeenth Mayor of  White Plains officially at midnight last night, and within minutes of the balldrop in Renaissance Square in downtown wished viewers on News 12 a happy new year and remarked on the festive atmosphere. The new First Lady of White Plains, Mrs. Bradley, wished viewers "Happy New Year" in Japanese.

New Mayor in Town: Adam Bradley greeting viewers on News 12 in Renaissance Square in downtown White Plains a little after midnight when his term began.

Outgoing Mayor Joseph Delfino could be seen, in his trademark broadbrimmed brown sombrero in the distance in an earlier News 12 shot, a lone  figure on the 2010 Rec and Parks traveling stage, watching his twelve-years as Mayor officially end in a "tradition" he began six years ago in 2003.

News 12 described the downtown crowd as about 10,000 people lined up down Court Street and Mamaroneck Avenue. Twelve's reporters interviewed a number of revelers, from as far away as Brooklyn, Montrose, Yonkers. Streets filled up closer to midnight as a light wet snow fell. Reporters described it as a very family atmosphere.

Mayor Bradley will officially greet all residents of White Plains Sunday afternoon at 3 P.M. at his ceremonial inauguration in the rotunda at City Hall...You all come.
