Today's riddle: Why should you never iron a 4-leaf colver? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. L.I.'s Largest Car Show at TOBAY Beach Rescheduled to October 3rd due to Inclement Weather (longisland.com) — Town of Oyster Bay officials have rescheduled Long Island's largest car show to Saturday, October 3, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at TOBAY Beach, with free admission for spectators. Expect hundreds of classic and exotic vehicles, live music from That 70's Band, food trucks, vendors, and kid-friendly trophy awards, making it an easy local day out by the water.
2. From Long Island to 'Copperfield!' (liherald.com) — Local theater fans might be interested that "Copperfield! The New Musical" features performers who honed their craft in Oyster Bay and nearby North Shore communities before heading Off-Broadway. Their Long Island roots, including music programs in Oyster Bay and Glen Cove, strongly shape how they tell this story of finding home, identity, and resilience onstage in Manhattan.
3. David Maltbie: The 'Other' Nathan Hale (newyorkalmanack.com) — Long Island history buffs can trace Revolutionary-era espionage back to familiar ground in Oyster Bay, where Raynham Hall Museum once held enslaved woman Elizabeth, central to new research on spy David Maltbie. A recent Long Island History Project podcast episode, featuring former Raynham Hall historian Claire Bellerjeau, explores how this "other" Nathan Hale reshapes our understanding of local spycraft.
4. Huntington forum offers latest ways of how they're cracking down human trafficking (newsday.com) — Human trafficking and illegal sex work remain a growing concern across Long Island, with Huntington officials outlining how medical workers, police, and survivor advocates are coordinating responses. A recent Hicksville panel even included an Oyster Bay planning official, underscoring that enforcement, spa raids, and community vigilance are increasingly important for residents throughout Oyster Bay and neighboring towns.
5. Billy Joel Announces 'Turnstiles' 50th Anniversary Edition (stereogum.com) — Billy Joel's former Oyster Bay motorcycle shop, 20th Century Cycles, quietly closed last fall, and his bike collection is now being auctioned by Christie's. At the same time, Joel is celebrating his roots with a 50th-anniversary box set of his 1976 album Turnstiles, packed with unreleased live recordings, demos, and a restored concert film.
