  1. The classic Puss-In-Boots is set for the season at Port Jefferson Theatre Three with grand opening on Saturday, Jan. 15.

  • "The Smithtown Town Board has revised income limits for houses and apartments in the town's workforce housing policy, a move intended to make more homes affordable for middle-income residents." (Newsday/Subscription Required))
  • "New Yorkers just couldn't let their Philadelphia rivals have anything better than them. Those PA people have hung the Philadelphia cheesesteak over our heads for a century. But New Yorkers had had enough. So they went and one-upped Philly with the chopped cheese sandwich, which originated in NYC just a few years ago. Now the chopped cheese has found its way to Long Island." (GreaterBayShore)
  • Nextdoor Neighbor, Port Jefferson Village: "PSA: Homeowners, Landlords and neighbors beware of Isabel Rojas in PJ and surrounding towns areas. - She is a documented serial offender of destruction of property, break ins, assault and endangering an animal." (Nextdoor)
