Today marks a year @Newsday — that went fast. It’s been eventful: from buried chemical drums to contentious town meetings. Looking forward to another busy one covering Oyster Bay and Glen Cove. Think I should cover something (or have some juicy info)? Give me a holler 🤙

Neighbors of the Cotillion, a longtime restaurant and catering hall, have complained for years about excessive noise coming from the property. Now, the Town of Oyster Bay has denied a permit for the business. Here’s the latest on the saga, for @Newsday. https://t.co/zIvPuBVioY

I saw Bob Dylan twice about a decade ago (that happened fast). Never regret driving hours for this show in upstate NY.
Go see your favorites live. Especially as they get older. You don’t know how many chances you’re gonna get.
