Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Firefighters battle massive flames at Bay Shore scrapyard (news12.com) — A major scrapyard fire on Moffitt Boulevard in Bay Shore sent thick smoke over the area Sunday afternoon and even delayed LIRR Montauk Branch trains, but no injuries were reported. Bay Shore volunteer firefighters and neighboring departments battled strong nor'easter winds for more than three hours before bringing the blaze under control, and investigators are still determining what sparked it.
2. Where are houses with more bedrooms for less money than the median on Long Island? (newsday.com) — Bay Shore stands out among Suffolk communities where buyers are finding four-bedroom homes priced below the county's median, offering more space for the money than many Long Island neighborhoods. A Newsday analysis of recent sales shows Bay Shore near the top of Suffolk's list, alongside Lindenhurst, Shirley, Medford, and Selden, giving local families useful context on today's tight market.
3. Half Hollow Hills tops Suffolk's 10 best school districts again, but has steep slide on Niche's national list (greaterlongisland.com) — Bay Shore's school district, which appeared on Niche's national list last year, has now fallen off the 2027 national rankings, even as Half Hollow Hills remains Suffolk's top-rated district. The new report reshuffles Suffolk's top 10, with some districts climbing and others sliding, giving Bay Shore parents fresh context on how local schools compare across the county and state.
4. Suffolk HS football roundup from weather-delayed Week 3 games (newsday.com) — Bay Shore's football team stayed perfect with an 18-0 shutout of Riverhead, marking the program's first 3-0 start since 1986 and giving local fans plenty to cheer about. Strong rushing, multiple sacks, and key interceptions powered the win, which capped a weather-delayed Week 3 slate of Suffolk high school games.
