After many moons, the construction fence and its black drapes came down, and people could see their beloved General Store again. I have slowed as I passed and tried my best to stare at it like a stranger, recognize it as an old friend, see the dramatic and yet gentle renovation near completion. This is not to say that many won’t lament the near-certain closing of the Hedges Lane post office. The no-frills structure and charming staff make the 11962 zip code valuable for reasons not based on land transactions. Spring began cold and with heavy, unsettled clouds. The wind ...

He claims there is $966,849 in “revenues” to help offset the increase. Among these so-called ...
