People don't realize everything that goes on around here.
Now a big part of my job is driving all over Long Island, and I've seen more of it in the past two years than in the last 60.
These are huge stories that people just drive by and never ever know about.
The fact that so many people like hearing about all the fun facts of where they live just feels great to me.
