Starbucks on Sunrise Hwy.

Just west of Wendy's on Sunrise Highway, Seaford, a construction fence has enclosed two properties available for development. At 3870 Sunrise Highway is a frame house built in 1933 as a residence; this property includes a second, smaller house of the same era, behind the first. They were converted to business use, most recently as Ray the Plumber.  If Sunrise Highway was constructed from Wantagh about 1928, these two may be the oldest structures on the short Seaford portion of Sunrise Highway.

Also enclosed by the fence is what was Kelley Flooring, a warehouse and sales office, built in 1956 at 3860 Sunrise Highway, listed on the Nassau County property site as a 6,171 sq. ft. building.
---
Each of the properties has 80-foot frontage on the highway.

In late November, 2017, a sign declared that Starbucks was seeking to built on these lots. Clicking on any photo will enlarge it.

Veterans' Day, 2017


Freezing temperature and a stiff wind caused the 2017 Veterans' Day ceremony at Seaford's American Legion Post to be moved indoors. As usual, the morning ceremony was solemn, respectful, and free of political blather. Charles Wroblewski, post chaplain, offered both the invocation and benediction. The words of Post Commander William Harms and the other speakers were measured, respectful, thankful.
