I’ve been to Eddie’s, and the pizza is light and crispy, suitable for all those dieting. Also, Eddie’s ONLY TAKES CASH!
I noted a homeless man waiting around the Dairy Barn in New Hyde Park:

And then, more recently, I saw someone else waiting there as well (possibly another homeless man):
Bill Cutrone, from the Lakeville Civic group, confirmed that the man was not on the property when he checked.
Note the following string of disturbing events at the LA Fitness at Lake Success, best captured in this compilation video:
Even a widely publicized shooting (suspect was eventually apprehended):
So as of 3/8/23, under “recommendation of local law enforcement,” the basketball courts are closed:
To credit the facility, they have made some other changes, like installing cameras all around the gym:
And it seems like someone is actively watching cameras:

A South-of-Hillside Avenue resident of New Hyde Park (who requested that she remain anonymous) shared a potential Amazon delivery scam.
In the first incident, she received a delivery to her porch. The package had her address, not her name -the name was also unfamiliar to her. Two hours later, a man rang her doorbell and explained that the package was for his grandmother. She obliged and gave the man the package.
In the second incident, note that she made previous purchases on an App called ‘Shopify,’ an e-commerce site offering standard delivery tracking. Still, she made no purchases and noticed a delivery due to her address. She declined the delivery and then informed the USPS of the situation.
The man then showed up looking for the package again.
The neighbor then pieced a few things together: she suspects the man found her house via the Zillow website, as her home is currently on sale, and he expected a vacated address.
On March 29, 2023, NETFLIX will feature an episodic series called ‘EMERGENCY NYC’

In my research, I found that a Doctor named, Dr. Jose Prince, Director of Pediatric Surgery at the Cohen’s Children’s Hospital Center of New Hyde Park spoke on the profession’s particular problems.
Dr. Prince has promoted the show on his Twitter account as well:
Great to see the positive exposure for New Hyde Park!

During the Spring of 2021, I observed the following homeless man lying down at the Dairy Barn in New Hyde Park.
I had offered him a bottle of water, but he refused gruffly.
Having recently attended a Lakeville Association Civic meeting, I realized homelessness was an issue in the New Hyde Park area (not so prevalent before the pandemic).
In a previous update, I had written about the Dairy Barn on Hillside Avenue being one of the local eyesores. Still, there is some positive news as the property appears to be formally on sale or for rent.
