I have, I'm selling engage rings now to customers that I've sold engage rings to their grandparents and the customers are very loyal. We're very loyal to them and my brother and I run the business and we have been very fortunate to be able to take care of people when they come in, they always deal with an owner. So it's either myself or my brother. You said the customers are basically friends at this point. You see, they're like family now and we know their whole lives.

One of our favorite parts of the week this morning, our main Street Long Island series continues in Great Neck and our Jen Selig is there learning more about this community morning, Jen, good morning. We on Bond Street and on Thursdays in the summer time, the street closes down for a couple of hours. The business is here, take out their tables and chairs there, live music. A lot of people come and celebrate this beautiful village and with me, I have run and you are the executive director of the great, great Neck pla Business Improvement District Long Title there. And what you do is you help beau this village. What we do as the bid is we help promote the downtown area in concert with our village government and with the mayor and the trustees, we try to do things that bring people into town to give them a good time to give them reasons for spending time with their family and friends in our downtown. Like what we do with these promenades and what you had just mentioned yesterday, Thursday We're having a promenade here on Bond Street. All the restaurants bring out their tables. There are hundreds of tables here. We have some wonderful restaurants here that bring out their culinary delights. People can enjoy great dining. We're going to have wonderful music for each. Actually gonna have three contestants, three wonderful high school Thespians, two from here in Great Neck itself and one from Oyster Bay who competed in our music fest this past June. They're going to be reprising what they did at that music fest. They are just wonderful. We were in awe of how wonderful their talent is and it'll be a wonderful night. We're even have a rock wall. So kids and some adventurous adults can have some fun climbing the rock wall. We're going to have what they call a five and one sports arcade so people can participate in that. There's something for everyone. It's a wonderful evening. So definitely time to come out and celebrate 630 to 30 to 1036 30 to 1030 on Bond Street. Perfect. So we got to go and check it out. We're going to send it back to you guys in the studio. Sounds like a lot of fun. Thank you, Jen.
