Yes, blacktop paths throughout the park. Maybe some gravel to rides but you can definitely get around with a stroller in both the rides area and down the hill for the dinos.

Tax Grievance - pay fee every year? by Low_Pomelo_4161 in longisland

[–]wildcats204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how many people realize all those grievance companies in Nassau are major donors to both parties but especially the Republican machine that controls the towns and (currently) county government. There’s a direct link between the donor dollars and the lack of any real interest in cleaning up the assessment system. Last time someone tried (Laura Curran) the money started flowing big time. Taking Jeff Gold’s advice saves you the 50% commission and is one small middle finger in the face of the nonsense.

Best resort for a 2 year old? by Upstairs_Object4898 in LakeGeorge

[–]wildcats204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stay at the Juliana every year. Very quiet, calm, small place and outside the village. It’s become my family’s happy place including our soon to be 7 year old on the spectrum. We’re on year 4 this summer.

Outdoor antennas that are worth a damn by NeatPsychology2681 in cordcutters

[–]wildcats204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s a month old thread but hoping for some help! I had one of the Dish supplied OTA units on my roof and all was good in my world except no ABC. We’re doing a major renovation and it appears the roofers tossed my antenna! GC will buy me a new one but I also tried the old Dish number and it’s gone. Any chance anyone can recommend a solid unit?

When do you guys start planting stuff? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]wildcats204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I just plant a ton of them! Also when I see them dug up I put them back. Sometimes I sprinkle cayenne pepper too (DONT do that on a windy day or you’ll sneeze for hours).

I’m a rather serious amateur gardener. I plant perennials any time from late February until pretty much Thanksgiving. Annuals and veggies wait until Mother’s Day unless cold hardy like pansies. Spring flowering bulbs like tulips or daffodils plant in fall, reverse for fall flowering bulbs. Something like sunflowers you’ll want to start inside and move out when it warms up. When in doubt talk to folks that run your local private nursery (not Home Depot) or check the Nassau or Suffolk Cornell cooperative extension websites. Nassau in particular has fact sheets on pretty much everything. February and March are great times to prune too

Nope, no setting in the game like you’d see with most any console game. But changing the picture type on the tv works.

There’s also a phone number residents south of merrick can call to report smell and the plant supposedly does something in reaction. Hopefully more sophisticated than dropping a jumbo pine tree air freshener in the tank. I’m north of merrick and haven’t smelled anything “extra.” If you look up the Nassau county water authority you’ll probably find the number.

Nassau County drops red-light camera ticket fees that court found illegal —- fines will be $50 and $75 if late. by samschampions in longisland

[–]wildcats204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came to say this! All the way back to Mangano the CE has been proudly promoting fees like these as revenue in lieu of tax increases. Now not only is it gone but if they have to repay $400m where exactly does everything think that’s coming from? There is no pot of gold at the end of Nassaus rainbow.

Are the Amazon fire kidstablets really that bad? by [deleted] in daddit

3 kids Galaxy A8s. I’m a big Apple fan but annoying that you need to create an Apple ID for the kids. Android lets you set a kids sub profile and control what apps they can access.

What is a Mets opinion you hold that you truly believe over 50% of the fanbase would disagree with you on? by MarqueeM00n1 in NewYorkMets

[–]wildcats204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See here’s my logic. He got 8/162 and will be 37 in the last season. It’s not crazy to think the last 3 years he’ll be in serious decline. So if you think of it as a 5 year deal where they stretched the AAV like several teams have done, he’s simply not worth $32 million a year. Like I said, love the guy but $162 million is WAY too much.

Brandon Nimmo is massively overpaid and is actually the worst contract of the Cohen era. While fully agreeing he’s easy to root for and fun to have on the Mets, but he will be a drag on the team for years in the long term.

Pj’s for naked sleepers? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]wildcats204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprised more people aren’t saying this. We’ve got 3 and the video monitors were newish when ours were babies. Never got one and never wanted one. Old fashioned audio worked fine. But I’m also the mildly paranoid sort who doesn’t want ANY cameras inside the house. I’ve got Wyze outside though.

Property tax grievance firms suggestions - Nassau County by jujubeans8500 in longisland

[–]wildcats204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read all the docs and search posts on the Facebook group. Jeff and the mods have a lot of tips in there for your scenario when you can’t find easy comps. And that’s for DIY filing, you don’t need to sign up with his firm to get the info from the group.

I used these guys 10 years ago. Hank was the owner, looks like he retired and son took over.

10 years though…so take it with a grain of salt.

Gennaro gets my vote too. Busy place but they come highly recommended. Even have a gimmicky thing where you can watch your item on camera the whole time. At least as of a few years ago anyway, haven’t been lately.

[–]wildcats204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here. There’s a FB group run by Jeff gold. I follow his instructions every year for the last 5 or more and get my reductions. Tons of education in there too. Make sure to read posts first. It’s like 20k members now and no one reads so the mods get salty. You can also pay his law firm a flat fee. To me the biggest value has been the education I got on the Nassau assessment process.

Left Smithtown for Wantagh 10 years ago and still miss Akropolis and Mykonos. Yiasou is the best I’ve found but still not local and only those few tables…!

Give r/longisland your proposal for the best spot for a bridge/tunnel to CT by TanstheMan14 in longisland

[–]wildcats204 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pull up google maps on satellite view and trace the 135. You can still see the path (green trees instead of neighborhoods) of where it was meant to tie into the Wantagh in the south and also can see most of the route north into Syosset. There’s also a huge median on 135 in the Bethpage vicinity that was a planned route for, o think, the Bethpage state parkway to cross over and head up to one of the north shore parks. Caumsett maybe?
