Nov. 29: Bellmore Post Office Reopens, Sonic, Basketball Preview

Some things to keep an eye on in the local community.

  1. The Bellmore Post Office reopened Monday after being closed for two months. Part of the structure collapsed when a man driving a Newsday delivery truck crashed into the building at 2611 Merrick Road. For the full story, click here.
  2. In January, East Meadow residents clamored for Sonic to make its way to the local area. Last week, that possibility was discussed at CEMCO. Check back with East Meadow Patch later for the full scoop.
  3. It’s a new season and a new league for the Lady Colts basketball squad at Calhoun High School – but some things remain the same. For the full preview of Calhoun girls basketball, click here.
  4. Head on over to Bellmore Memorial Library at 7 p.m. for some Poets in Nassau. Each session features a poet followed by an open mic during which residents are encouraged to bring your own poems and share them with others. 
  5. Yesterday, we got a look at the Calhoun girls basketball team. Today, Merrick Patch visits the boys. Check back later today for that!
