Which popular TV show set in the fictional town of Neptune, California filmed in the Town of Babylon, New York for several episodes?

The annual Soldier Ride, organized by the Town of Babylon and the Wounded Warrior Project, took place in Lindenhurst with a 22-mile cycle journey to raise awareness and support for injured veterans' recovery and mental health resources.

The event was dedicated to Chief John “Jack” Miller, a cherished committee member.

Over 1,000 riders, including 40 Wounded Warrior Project veterans, participated, with proceeds benefiting the Warrior Ranch Foundation, a nonprofit aiding veterans and first responders with post-traumatic stress.

The event continues with Soldier Ride New York riding through the Hamptons, where the first ride began in 2004.

West Babylon has paid tribute to the late John D. Norris by renaming a section of Essex Street as John D. Norris Memorial Way.

 

This heartfelt act recognizes Norris's dedication to public service and his powerful impact as a retired NYC Transit Police Officer and founding member of the Belmont Lake Civic Association.

 

The June ceremony brought together the Norris family, local officials, and neighbors, all united in celebrating his exceptional legacy of community advocacy and youth mentorship.

 

The newly named memorial way, spanning Essex Street from Straight Path to Lamont Place, stands as a lasting symbol of his influence in West Babylon.

 

Leaders such as Supervisor Rich Schaffer and Assemblyman Kwani B. O'Pharrow joined to unveil the new sign, sharing moving stories that reflected deep admiration.

 

West Babylon also advances with vital upgrades, including new water mains and PSEG's storm-hardening electric grid improvements, honoring Norris’s spirit by building a stronger community.

Located at 30 E Main St, Mulberry Street has been a staple in Babylon Village for over 25 years, offering a refined yet welcoming atmosphere that blends classic Italian cuisine with modern flair.

The Suffolk County Department of Public Works’ Division of Vector Control will launch aerial treatments from July 23 to July 26, between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., aiming to curb mosquito larvae in marshes that include West Gilgo, Gilgo, Cedar Beach, and Oak Island.

 

If bad weather strikes, treatments will resume when conditions allow.
