Village Hall to Open For Weekend

Massapequa Park residents can charge up and get meals on Saturday and Sunday.

Massapequa Park residents hit hard by Hurricane Sandy can take refuge from the storm and the power outages by  going to Village Hall this weekend.

Mayor James Altadonna said that Village Hall will be open both Saturday and Sunday.

Residents can charge their phone, use village phones or pick up a hot meal ready to eat, the Mayor said.

Altaonna also announced that the village has now cleared all streets of downwd trees.

"We are working with all layers of government to try to get LIPA to respond to the village," Altadonna said.

As of Friday morning, LIPA was still reporting 5,425 customers without power in Massapequa Park.

The utility was also reporting 4,671 outages in North Massapequa, 6.356 in Massapequa and 2,929 in East Massapequa.

when you say elite do you mean the hard working people who have money? it's a matter of labels. youRead More call them elite..they call themselves hard workers. yes, some inherit money. but most of us work for it.

No, it has nothing to do with how hard you work. It's just that the elite one percenters are treatedRead More differently when they run afoul of the laws in this country. No one has been jailed for the corporate malfeasance that resulted in the financial crash of '08, in spite of the rules that were ignored or broken. Too big to fail is the order of the day. Meanwhile, petty frauds committed by poor and middle class are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Two Americas. The rule of law, unevenly applied, whether by race, or class, or economic station will result in the unraveling of society. We may well be seeing the beginnings of that now, as we've entered a new gilded age, where new robber barons are allowed to run roughshod over the lower classes. The very ideals of America are at stake, and we are letting them slide away.

Will the new Massapequa station platform be covered end-to-end as it is now? If it will only beRead More partially covered, like Seaford station, there are going to be a lot of cold, wet, unhappy commuters.

Mr. Coyote, The design plans only call for a canopy over certain parts of the station platform, likeRead More almost all of the other stations along the branch. The canopies will be primarily over the staircases, elevator, waiting room, and one other small section on the middle section of the platform between the elevator and east escalator.
