Today's riddle: What do you call cows dancing in the dark 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Ross Dress for Less expanding on Long Island, opening 2 more stores, off-price retailer says (newsday.com) — Levittown shoppers will soon get a new Ross Dress for Less at 2965 Hempstead Turnpike, with the 20,000-square-foot store slated to open in July and bringing dozens of jobs. The expansion reflects the chain's strong sales and push into Long Island, as another location opens in Holbrook and the company continues rapid nationwide growth to meet bargain-hunting demand.
• Bomb threat at public library prompts Hicksville school's lockout (news12.com) — A bomb threat at the Hicksville Public Library Friday morning prompted a precautionary lockout at nearby Hicksville schools, but police later deemed the threat non-credible and lifted the restrictions with all students and staff safe. A Levittown resident voiced concern about safety at such a family space, while library officials stressed security measures and confirmed the building will reopen Saturday.
• The 1970s on Long Island Experience (newyorkalmanack.com) — Levittown's postwar boom and its slowing in the 1970s are part of a new Long Island Museum exhibit exploring how the decade reshaped local suburbs, culture, and politics. From a recreated 1970s living room to Vietnam War-era artifacts and environmental activism, the show offers Levittown-area residents a vivid look at how that era still influences life today.
