Can the Blogs, Postings and Comments Make a Difference?

What part do the positings, blogs and comments play in correcting problems residents are concerned with?

Many of those who blog, or post comments have brought up issues that have to do with the quality of life in Port Washington. Some were just comments and others were really complaints. This is not about admonishing anyone or the type of comments they leave, but rather to ask a very simple question. Do the blogs, comments and assorted postings get read by those who could take action? From what I was told by one Port Washington Police officer is that the police do look at the site, proving this was comments or replies from an officer.

When there were comments about store fronts and the need for better upkeep I started to notice that some business owners were in fact showing a concern for the better. The Clearview theater was repainted and the store once occupied by a furier is seeing some renovations for a possible tennant. Baltimore Interior had the entire store front renovated to give it a clean new look. I have also watched several business owners washing the side walk in front of their establishment. Maybe the blogs about making a better appearance to draw more business touched a note with business owners?

Maybe we should keep commenting and blogging and offering possible solutions about those issues which effect the community. You just never know who is reading what and how the posting impacts the reader.

I hope the closing is only temporary. I purchased milk and other items from Dairy Barn for manyRead More years. Always got good quality products. Never had a problem.

With the loss of "D-Barn", the lack of a drive-through convenience store creates a voidRead More worth filling.

There was very little publicity about the budget this year. I was disappointed that the increase wasRead More over 3.5 percent. We still haven't addressed the salary issues and maybe we never will. Until the salary and benefit package is decreased, there will never be a reduction in the cost of education in Port Washinton.

What does it matter? No matter what you do, the budget increase will pass. Just empty your pocketsRead More and move on.

Historically, that was a problem with "NO" voters...

if we are going to sell off our 40 spot lot why not advocate for the LIRR to chip in and helpRead More building the 2 or 3 story parking lot on Haven? with more trains and more population we need more parking. we are fooling ourselves that this is not a "Hicksville" type train station. we are a main hub and it needs a substantial parking lot that will help commuter parking and help retail parking in the main lots off of main street. anyone who does not want that parking lot built needs to really ask themselves why not. if we can build a new car wash on a main cut through street for no reason we can get this done with the same traffic nightmares!!! BTW during construction which im sure will take at least a year. where will those people park? in the other lots, so us who take the 808 train will get screwed bc we will not have a place to park now.

Good spot for a multi-story municipal/LIRR garage, given the height of terrain behind it.
Bob May 20, 2013 at 06:28 pm
I agree. This lot should be open all the time. Maybe there is a potential liability issue butRead More let's see if it can be worked out.

A 135 million dollar budget with another 5 million+ assured for next year, teachers have to buyRead More "school supplies" in Port Washington? Are you kidding?
