On Saturday, January 10, 2015 neighbors and friends of Strong Avenue watched in disbelief as flames ripped through the home of our newest residents. Matt Vitale and Victor Cardinali had recently joined our tight knit Babylon community in August 2014, only to have their first home destroyed by a devastating fire. They lost everything, including Piper, their beloved Wheaten Terrier. Please lend your support, as we “Stay Strong” for our neighbors. Thank you.
