šŸ›£ļø Fun Fact: Nassau County was home to one of the world’s first highways — the Long Island Motor Parkway, opened in 1908. Built just for cars, it had no traffic lights or intersections and was one of the first limited-access roads in the U.S.

šŸ˜ļø New Homes Coming to Malverne!

Great news for anyone looking to move to Malverne! The village board just said yes to building new homes on Church Street, and everyone's pretty excited about it. The plan is to put up 12 new living spaces at 61 Church Street. These aren't just any old apartments — they're being built with both families and single folks in mind. It's nice to see the village growing while keeping its small-town feel.

šŸ›”ļø Hospital Security Gets Smart: Northwell Health's AI Guardian

Northwell Health is changing the game in hospital safety with some pretty cool new tech. They've started using AI cameras that can spot weapons in real-time, making their hospitals much safer for everyone who walks through their doors. The system keeps an eye on things 24/7, immediately alerting security teams if something's not right. It's like having an extra set of super-smart eyes watching over patients and staff.
