So, uh we talk about the local los that we read the paper, talk about local things and then, uh, stay here for an hour and then we, uh, go home and go about our day and you live in Beth Page, right. What's in all my life? What's the best part about this community? It's a very tight knit community that, uh, you know, people kind of stick together and work together in a community to try to make it a better place. You've probably seen this town build up, especially on Broadway with all these new businesses coming in. Right. Yeah. But the Broadway hasn't changed much over the years because it's, uh, it's not a stre through street on Broadway. So it, it developed early on and, uh, haven't changed much over the past 40 or 50 years. Really? There's some hidden gems here though, I heard. So. Absolutely. There's always new stores coming in. You have the mainstay of Sweeney's and, uh, uh, Donnie Shat's, uh, place there was, those are the 22, main businesses in town that bring in most of the traffic. I think he knows his way around. Beth Page for shows. I'm gonna leave you guys alone. I don't know if you ate your breakfast or not, but enjoy it. We're gonna stick around here and Beth Page.

Main Street Long Island Series continues this afternoon. Today, we are out highlighting some of the great local businesses they have in Beth Page news. Twelve's Gente leg is over at campaign house getting a taste of this community. It is lunch time at the campaign house here in Beth Page. And if you've been here, you know that this is a great spot to grab a bite to eat lunch time, dinner time. Really? Any time with me I have Don, you are the owner of this beautiful restaurant. Talk to me about what's business like here on Broadway. Oh, business is great on Broadway. Uh We do live three times a week. Uh We serve lunch and dinner seven days a week. We do parties and events, things on the patio, things in front of the fireplace. It's a lot of fun. You have a beautiful dining room with rich history right on the walls there. That's really important to you and your family. Yes, it is. The whole bar was built as a homage to Charles campaign and there's a school in town elementary school named after my grandfather. And we tried to bring out the Rich history with the farm boards as to show the history of Beth Page being a farming community back in the day. It's so crazy to me how much Beth Page has evolved over the deck. It's really hard to believe. Right. And then after it was this farming community, Grumman came in and it changed the whole dynamic of the community. Again. It's a great spot and I know a lot goes on in this community. There's events right on Broadway, right. This weekend we have our music on Broadway and we're gonna have a band called Southbound. They'll be line dancing in the street. All fun. Bring the kids. It's a great family event. What's your favorite part about, you know, having the business right here and just being part of the community? I love it because it's part of my hometown. I've lived here my whole life and the community is so, so great. They gave back so much during COVID and it was just a great place to be. So we're gonna stick around here and grab a bite to eat and send things back to you guys in the studio.
