Patchogue, NY

TriTec Proposal

Why is it that I feel that this TriTec issue is a "Dun Deal," and our representatives are going to give away the store, by letting Tritec have the "Goose that laid the Golden Egg."

Actually the real issue is about "Give and take!" In the original Tritec Proposal, there was "give and take;" in the new proposal, I feel that Tritec would win both the battle and the war.


May I suggest what might be termed, "Rent Controlled Office Space." Isn't it about time we gave the Businessmen in our village a break! Reserve by covenant, the original 50 rooms that would have been allotted to the Hotel, and dedicate them to "low cost office rental."


In Patchogue, our businessmen currently pay $3000., for an office that is the size of a latrine. Break up each suite and change the zoning to allow two businesses to share a common office space. Somehow the total mandated rental cost, per suite, that can be shared by two businesses, must not exceed $1000. In addition, two suites would be set aside to be used as shared Conference Rooms.


If we could convince Tritec to help our businessmen, I will again be in favor of accepting Tritec's proposal. If Tritec only wants to "take" instead of "give;" then we should reject the proposal in its entirety!


Our Businessman do need reasonable cost office rental space, and we do not need more Rental Housing. Good business is all about compromise!

Interested in the History of, Your Home Town, PATCHOGUE, NY?

Who lived in your house in 1904?

This information is still available, and it is online!

A document called the, PATCHOGUE BUSINESS AND RESIDENTIAL DIRECTORY, was published in 1904 and can still be examined at the URL Link below.

I used this document and found out who the owners of my house were in 1904. I found out who the first two owners of my house were; both now rest in Cedar Grove Cemetery; just two blocks from my home.

An Advertisement from that Directory:

 "You've got to Admire the Egyptians!"

This is a neighborhood Blog; dedicated to the town of Patchogue, New York, USA. We never publish articles on international events! The ouster of a dictatorship by peaceful means both took my breath away, and captured my heart!


Never in "my wildest imagination" could I ever visualize a dictatorship being overturned by peaceful means! I must admit that my perception of Egypt has traditionally been clouded by a total lack of comprehensive input about the general populous! Unfortunately Americans are constantly being reminded of unfavorable factions in the Middle East, every time we go to an Airport!


Your peaceful protest has shown the World that we do indeed have a common desire to be free. It is your peaceful protest, courage, and self restraint that has capture the hearts of all Americans!


History will forever remember your courage and self control! Congratulations Egypt!
