Fourth of July in Mastic Beach

Between summer camp for the kids and the summer reading club at the library, we haven't had a dull moment!  We realized we are free to have fun this weekend for Fourth of July!

Did you notice the rebuilding of the beach at the end of Washington?  The new barriers should keep the beach and water where it belongs.  It's a perfect oasis for some time out!

Happy Fourth of July everyone!

Fire At Shirley Family Dollar

I was shocked to see our local Shirley Family Dollar on Channel 12 News earlier.  I immediately visited Newsday online to find out more. 

It seems electrical sparks came from the ceiling, igniting a clothes at the Family Dollar in Shirley, New York.  The fire started at about 7:45 AM on Monday April 26.  Nobody was injured.  Smoke spread through The Green shopping plaza on William Floyd Parkway.  The local Mastic fire department was on the scene immediately.

I wonder if the Family Dollar will be closed for awhile?  We love the Family Dollar and get everything from kitchen essentials to home decor to t-shirts there.  I hope the Family Dollar and neighboring stores will be back in business right away.
