These school bus cameras are really starting to cause a lot of traffic issues over by me especially on a main road that has 2 lanes on both sides and the turning lane.
Hey just curious if there are any supporters groups here for the NY Red Bulls??? If there are where do you meet for game days and do you do bus trips to Harrison NJ for their home games???
My dad used to mention to me when he was a teenager in the 70s or 80s that his friends would explore this abandoned insane asylum late at night in the woods. He said that he could hear weird sounds and it was the most eerie thing he experienced. He lived around Melville/Huntington around the roads of sweet hallow and mount misery. Let me know if you guys have knowledge about the name/ story of going to this abandoned place!!
I just moved to Suffolk from Queens and had previously been using Capsule as my pharmacy because they have a really well designed app/website and I've always had great and responsive customer service with them without needing to talk to anyone over the phone. Unfortunately they don't deliver out here and I'm looking for a suitable replacement.
Any recommendations for a good pharmacy that delivers, has a great website for keeping track of prescriptions and refills, and solid customer service?
Hi, just looking to hear from others because I only have one close friend to ask. I’m 32 female, and got quoted $287 monthly from Geico. I do have a one fault accident and a traffic ticket in my recent driving history. I live in New Hyde Park as well. It’s full coverage as well (50,000 limit) and a $1000 deductible. This would be for a Toyota Rav 2024 vehicle. I’ve been driving for 11 years too. Thank you so much.
This sounds nuts but does anyone else keep hearing a loud plane flying over? I know planes fly by but I keep hearing and the sound is louder than typical. Maybe military jets?
I went thrifting at the Northport Salvation Army and stumbled upon a DVD called Hamptons Movie May 2006. On the DVD was photos of what seems to be a fun weekend at a Hamptons house. They called themselves L.I.P.A (Long Island Party Animals) and I'd love to find those in the photos to return it to them!! I've attached some group photos.
Has anyone circled the entire island on a jetski? How long did it take and could your jetski stay pinned for the entire journey if you had calm seas without breaking?
Today around 345 driving eastbound I saw a motorcycle crash. Does any have any info? I can't find any updates on the driver
I got a mail summon for stand by juror for week of 1/27. I called everyday to see if my number was up next but it never reached my number. I called today and they already moved on to new dates and new numbers. Am I done?
Looking for libraries with great play spaces. I’m in Suffolk but willing to travel to Nassau.
Does anyone know an accountant that can help me with my state taxes only? I went through Turbo Tax and I am not filing NY State until I have someone look it over.
My husband and I have wildly different diets, are really not looking to drop mad money on a prefix dinner, and don’t want to do something cliche. Any ideas what to do next weekend that won’t feel contrived? Still getting him chocolate but wanted to find something outside the box (forgive me for the pun).
I've been called to jury duty this week but not even county or federal. Curious for people who have done Town/Village jury what to expect when I go on Wednesday?
Why is Levittown so hated??
Hi all! My husband and I are escaping our children for a weekend and going to greenport in April. I know I can google places, but I’d rather get actual opinions from real people instead of things pushed by the algorithm or Instagram. We’d love to visit a vineyard at some point. I love rosé and orange wine (might be difficult to find, but doesn’t hurt to ask) and my husband loves just about anything.
We’d also love to know if there are restaurants or cocktail bars that are must visits. We’re not picky eaters and love just about anything.
I realize this might be a bit vague, but truly I just would appreciate any recommendations.
Thank you in advance!
There was zero traffic this afternoon, did everyone call outwork today? Sunrise was empty today.
I'm part of a family with young kids (2/3 year olds) and I've found a few memberships I've gotten a ton of value out of, especially when the weather is cold like this. I wish I had a list like this when I first moved to LI so I figured I'd post it here in case anyone else would get value out of it. Also would love to hear what else people would add. Keep in mind I'm in smithtown, so this is based around me here.
Would love to hear any others!
Kinda sniffly and my air quality voc sensor shows it higher than usual. Feels okay outside
I have an unfinished basement with ceiling height of about 6 feet in most areas however it’s lower near the main support beams causing many people to have to duck in certain spots. It has an outside entrance.
Assuming the two options to raise the ceiling are either to dig further underground or raise the foundation…has anyone recently done either?
Wondering on costs?? Who did you use?
Understand there can be multiple variables. I have a tiny 800 sq ft cottage. Single story.
Planning on proposing to my GF sometime this month. I would like someone there to video the occasion. My idea is a video taken from a drone. Does anyone have a recommendation for a person or company to use?
Caribbean Blue aquarium store is apparently closing down
Hey all, not sure if I’ll find the help I need on Reddit but looking for a neurologist recommendation in Suffolk.
Due to insurance I can only see certain providers, was seeing Dr.Gudesblatt but no longer am able too.
Edit: They fixed it ~15 minutes ago. Holy shit they're fast.
Currently the house has no driveway and it is grass and a gravel path where the new driveway would be put. More specifically this is the Village of Manorhaven.
It would be a short 2 car driveway in the front of the house. I know I would need permits, an architect and paver company.
Anyone with experience with this, what was the process like and at what cost? I was hoping it would only be a few thousand but now I’m guessing it’s closer to $20,000…
Hi- who are the best home builders in LI? Looking for a good, quality build home.
I’m not currently looking, but doing some research. What’s the going rate for studio apartments within single family homes?
Edit: Size: approx 450 sq feet
I know areas affect rates, so I’m looking at the Centereach/Selden area.
