ELEVEN SCORE AND 18 YEARS AFTER NATION'S BIRTH, SEA CLIFF'S MINI PLAZA TO BE RE-DEDICATED IN HONOR OF 16TH PRESIDENT
June 22, 2014 -- As is self-evident from the unfinished work at the northeastern corner of Sea Cliff and Roslyn Avenues, the area formerly known as Mini Plaza is in the process of getting a facelift, and will be re-dedicated Lincoln Plaza, in honor of the President whose words promoting civic mindedness adorn the brick wall of the building there. Following the annual July 4th reading of the Declaration of Independence on the Village Green at 10 am, celebrants will be led by resident Paul Haining, as he plays his bagpipes, up Sea Cliff Avenue to the corner of Roslyn Avenue where the dedication ceremony will take place. See article below for background on the Lincoln Plaza project.

It reads simply, "I like to see a man proud of the community in which he lives." -Abraham Lincoln. READ MORE

THE GOP PUP TENTJune 25, 2014 -- In kowtowing to Conservative Party bosses by withdrawing its nomination of Sea Cliff Mayor Bruce Kennedy as its candidate for the 13th Assembly District seat over objections to his having performed two same sex marriages, the Nassau County Republican Committee has completely abandoned the “Big Tent Party” ideal of the past and opted for a pup tent strategy – pandering to a tiny, narrow-minded element that is way out of the mainstream on social issues.
