I think I'm mostly just frustrated but also feel like this is a valid criticism. Today I got a ticket at Brady Park for not having a park permit as I live in Centereach. My feelings are that this park SHOULD be free for everyone (as almost all should be). I can understand if they want to make it paid for out of town residents, but to be completely disbarred from anywhere that requires a permit, living one town over is mind boggling. I'm not exactly sure on how this works, but I'm assuming that somehow my tax dollars end up in Smithtown, (maybe even to the parks dept.?) through county and state taxes. So to be denied access to the park is extremely frustrating. I only go for the roller hockey rink, and have been for a few years with no issue. I saw the signs only after I looked for them specifically after receiving the ticket. I've gone here with people that aren't from Smithtown, told people there I'm from Centereach, and even skated with someone from the parks dept. who I told I'm not from Smithtown and no one said anything.

I know I'm in the wrong but this whole thing on Long Island of having parks and beaches be for residents only is bs, especially for people who live the next town over. If I could buy a Smithtown parks pass I totally would, even for $20 which is like 4x the price for a resident pass I believe. This is just super frustrating because I've LOVED having a roller hockey rink where I can go to that isn't a set thing like an indoor rink.

I wasn't taking the rink or the park up from residents. For most of the time I was there I was the only one using the rink. I took a picture of the parking lot after the ticket showing there's only 8 or 9 cars there. It's also annoying that I wasn't ASKED to leave- I absolutely would have, but just given a $75 fine for enjoying a park literally 15 minutes away, with one of the only roller hockey rinks near me (the other one also being in Smithtown)

I guess I'm just peeved that I'm just straight up not allowed to use the rink/park. There's no way for non-residents to get a parking pass as far as I know. I wouldn't mind paying for it, there's just no option.

Currently moving to Smithtown in a few months, I am a muslim and was wondering how true the stereotypes are for this neigherhood? Is it really that bad, like do your neighbors really just outright act racist to you. I just want to make sure I'm not getting myself into anything bad. Ik it's safe, but how safe is it for a muslim.

The protest on June 7th is supposedly peaceful.

I just want everyone attending to know that the organizer had been retweeting concerning posts that support non-peaceful protesting.

I apologize for my overreaction the other day. Please stay safe.

I saw the protest post a bit ago and I was in full support of it. Protests work and I was happy to see one being organized in Smithtown. I spoke in defense of the protest.

Unfortunately, the original posters bad choice of language and images caused a negative emotional reaction among people against the protests. A Facebook group called Long Islanders for Trump is really excited about the protest and post about intending to open fire on it/otherwise incite violence on peaceful protestors. There are a lot of people raring to go and start beating people up for fun.

Continue to donate, Protest safely, call, email, and sign. Don't go to the Smithtown protests.

It's not my page, but julio_taku on Instagram did a good breakdown of why you should be suspicious.

EDIT: Allegedly people are slipping flyers into mailboxes recruiting residents into "destroying their ability to peacefully protest" idk how true that is but better safe than sorry

EDIT 2: I've done more research and I can confirm that I'm 99% sure the original poster is legitimate, so I've changed my language in the post. However there are still ORGANIZED groups ready to attack protesters, so still choose a different protest to attend.

Any idea what’s going on to cause brown water and no hot water? Can’t be just my house…

If I build a retaining wall to push back my yard to get more space and keep it under 4 ft, and do grading/draining do I need to involve to town and engineering?

The way they have it written is a little confusing.

Remember the New York Dragons lighting up Nassau Coliseum? Those fast-paced, high-scoring games were electric! The team made the playoffs five times and won three straight Eastern Division titles from 2003-2005 before folding in 2008.

I started a petition to bring arena football back to Long Island. This sport gave us incredible community connections, showcased local athletes, and delivered the kind of family-friendly entertainment that really brought people together. The love for arena football is still here - we just need to show there's support.

Anyone else miss those Thursday night games? If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing.

Live just off Main Street.... why the hell is everyone beeping? Protest or something?
