Gibson Boulevard did not even have a puddle, much less a storm surge going to 11 feet, 4 inches.

I have lived in Valley Stream for 30 years and it breaks my heart to know that Central Hardware is in dire straits. This store has been an institution in Valley Stream for more than 70 years, and like many other “mom and pop” businesses, has fallen victim to the big-box stores. Why do we prefer to drive to a mall? We waste gas and time looking for a parking spot, only to walk around aimlessly trying to find what we need and then wait on a long line to pay for our purchases.

On May 19, I and some other residents of Valley Stream attended a meeting at the Valley Stream Village Hall called and conducted by Assemblyman Brian Curran. The meeting was billed to be an update on problems raised two years ago by the implementation of new flood maps by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that have adversely impacted arts of Valley Stream, notably Gibson, including significant parts of School District 14.
