Nassau County added the Container Store to the strip mall right down the road from Roosevelt Field Mall. That strip mall now houses Trader Joes, Bloomingdales, and some other high end clothing stores. There are rumors that the Shake Shack is also coming to Westbury.

Other than that, not much has changed.

My husband is convinced LI manufactures traffic.

The LIRR has prohibited drinking alcohol on its trains during certain hours (I think it's midnight through 5am on weekends?).

We in the Town of Hempstead got new recycling bins. I kid you not when I say they are off the hook.

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Good summary, especially the end! Why new recycling bins?

Friend of mine on Li said the people have mellowed out over the last decade. They are apparently a little kindler and friendlier towards each other!

I think LIers are much more friendly than any other place I've been... seriously. We come off as a rough group of people, but I swear we have hearts!!
