Having easily qualified for the group of 24 in the American Idol 2011 Contest, Robbie Rosen (16) of Merrick, almost made i t into the group of 13 finalists after 3 contestants were added by the judges, chosen from a group of 6, Mr. Rosen among them, to what was supposed to be the group of 10 finalists. Mr. Rosen may not be in the contest anymore, but he is a winner, no matter what. With the national exposure given to him by dozens of news items in dozens of newspapers, coupled with his clean smooth voice and friendly demeanor, Mr. Rosen is slated to be a success, perhaps much bigger than what was already achieved by his participation in one particular national contest.
From Bellmore to Freeport Stopping in Merrick
With millions of videos posted weekly on YouTube by people like you and me, one can understand how a particular video doesn't get the rating that it deserves. Simple and straight forward, that is the case of a video posted by JamaicaQnzFreak in 2007. It is a single shot video through the front window of a LIRR train as it travels west between Bellmore and Freeport with an obvious stop in Merrick. Take a look.
Welcome
Welcome to your town classifieds, a new type of community website. Although the word "classifieds" may invoke the vision of long lists of tiny ads, that is not the focus of this site. Tiny ads can be found in Craigslists or on the local newspaper. We propose a site that promotes the community by publicizing major events and happenings, the "classification" of which will depend on our commitment and on the contributions of the community.
We begin with a bit of snow. a memorable entity this season. The video to the right is of clean-up efforts soon after the December 26th,2010 storm -- mind you -- not the biggest storm of this season.
