What about the Islip Speedway? My husband remembers going there as a kid. I can't imagine the noise from that place.

It's "we've declared a snow emergency. We will be plowing certain areas of the cities on such and such date. If you live on one of those streets make sure your car is off the street when the plow comes down." My city tows a lot less cars than the surrounding cities.
One day, that hardware store will close. The problem will be if a dance club, body shop or chicken farm opens there. Maybe you’ll get Lucky and a bakery will be next.

As a life long auto racing fan, I remember reading a story about the speedway, a few years back, but I didn't recall whether the track closed, or not. But 1984, wow, time has certainly passed!!
