"Whether it’s the signs we see or business cards and postcards in people’s hands, print definitely hangs around and is not so quickly forgotten.”(Huntington Patch)
3. Huntington Town Board votes to rename part of Railroad Street to honor slain paramedic. Alison Russo-Elling, 61, was an EMS lieutenant with the FDNY and a longtime volunteer with the Huntington Community First Aid Squad.
