Today marks a year @Newsday ā that went fast.
Itās 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 š¤
Want to do the husband thing and say Iām immensely proud of my wife, @MGM_Studios_, for her work designing and assembling this case (and the @nyknicks bus rolling through the city today).
She works so hard to preserve and present history at @TheGarden.

@newsdayās transportation reporter tried traversing Long Island in one day by every conceivable mode of transit. There were missed buses and trains, utility poles on the train tracks ā sound familiar, commuters? ā and a guy banging his head with a gavel.

Every week, the Jets push the limits of how bad a team can be in the final minutes of a half. Itās impressive, honestly.

Comparisons ā known in the real estate industry as ācompsā ā are difficult when it comes to #OhekaCastle, the 117-room hotel/catering business/mansion going up for auction later this month. There simply arenāt any other ācastlesā around here.
It's a Gold Coast mansion with spectacular views of Long Island Sound.
Surrounded by an 18-hole golf course, it played the fictional Xanadu in "Citizen Kane," appeared in a Taylor Swift music video and hosted the wedding of a Jonas brother.
One Long Island developer called it "one of the most beautiful properties on the Island."
But how do you determine the market value of an estate like Oheka Castle?

ICE's impact on LI's East End. My story for @Newsday 's Deported project led the paper today. The article was the culmination of months of reporting, writing and editing. Thank you to everyone at Newsday who helped get it past the finish line.
I think we give @JohnBrancy the assist on the scorecard
My mood continues to improve (sarcasm)
Some clarity on the Igor Shesterkin injury: it is a right knee injury that will require surgery and a lengthy rehab, according to a source. Thatās why the #NYR arenāt expecting him back this season.

The stage is (almost) set at the Glen Cove Performing Arts Center, a new theater set to debut where a hardware store had operated for decades.
The theater received a competitive $100,000 grant, which its director said will allow the theater to start hosting shows by early 2027
