Old Victorian House to be Knocked Down
I can't believe that very old Victorian house on Davison Place was bought by a builder to be knocked down instead of restoring it back to its original beauty!! RVC's charm comes from these old houses. Where is the Historical Society??
So, this project has really progressed huh? Walking by repeatedly as I do throughout the course of the day really makes you wonder if any of these RVC town workers have any desire to finish this project.

Laura Gillen's Post-Election Update
Gillen garnered almost 113,000 votes countywide in her losing race against the two term incumbent. That is 600 more votes than county executive candidate Tom Suozzi despite 12,000 fewer votes being cast in the Nassau Clerk’s contest. Gillen also received almost 25,000 more votes than the 2009 challenger and she siphoned off thousands of GOP votes countywide winning Rockville Centre.
