"It’s Not Your Father or Mother’s Suburbs…,” according to Lawrence Levy, the guest speaker at the next public meeting of the Rockville Centre Democratic Club — this Monday, June 7, at 7:30 p.m. at the Rockville Centre Public Library.  If not your father's or mother’s suburbs, then whose is it?Have the suburbs changed that much since Dad and Mom moved here?While we live in the suburbs, do we really understand how they're evolving? And, does that change matter to us? To help us understand the implications of this evolution, the club invited Mr. Levy, who is currently the executive director of the National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University. He is known to many as a well-respected political columnist and editorialist. He has also hosted political discussions on Channel 21 and, as recently as May 17, joined Brian Lehrer on National Public Radio in an open phone discussion on this subject with citizens of both Nassau and Suffolk counties The question: “Taxes, jobs, housing and traffic…can they be fixed?” will be explored and interpreted through the very latest demographic data about Long Island. For a new look at our island, perhaps through a different lens for many of us, members of the community are invited to come to the library for this meeting which is open to everyone —membership in the club is not required.
