Is LIPA's infrastructure up-to-par?
We asked readers what they thought of the LIPA power system, especially following four outages of over 200+ homes in the last month right after storms.
Paul: "I believe LIPA's infrastructure is up to the task however more maintenance is needed to prevent outages. It sounds simple but more tree trimming is needed to increase reliability. I wish they would stop spending on the expensive renewable energy projects and spend more on maintenance and reliability, especially with abundant less expensive coal and natural gas generation available."
Niche Gimberlein: "Get the wires underground. Wind can't attack there."
What should replace L&B Lincoln-Mercury?
We asked readers what they thought should replace the old car dealer on West Montauk Highway in West Babylon across from Pathmark. In our included poll, 33 percent voted in favor of a fitness club moving into the large space while 25 percent thought a new supermarket would be a great idea. Another 16 percent voted for a new car dealer to take over the land. Other thoughts came in through our comments:
Heather Simonson: "Whole Foods or Trader Joe's!"
Laura Lynn: "I totally agree - Babylon needs a TRADER JOE'S!"
Brandy Smith Seyfried: "WHOLE FOODS!"
Lauren Atchison: "Trader Joe's!"
Christian Minucci: "Chucky E Cheese."
