Aug. 2: Coliseum and Concert Edition

It's Tuesday of what's already been a busy week.

On Monday we saw a vote on the debt ceiling in Washington D.C. and a "No" vote by county residents to a proposal that would have a new Nassau Coliseum.

Well we're not letting up on Tuesday.  We have yet another concert and a chance to root on some Massapequa Little Leaguers, if you're willing to take a long road trip.

Each day, we spotlight events and happenings in and around the area that we think you ought to know about. We want your help too. If there's an event or announcement you'd like us to know about, please contact us.
