31st Street in Huntington is closed between 3rd and 4th Avenue.

Has Verizon showed up yet? is it just the telephone cable and not the electric line? Got to go home soon and dread the traffic congestion.

Solution is simple. When the big telephone line got too low, fire dept gets out the sawzall and cuts it down. Then bill the phone company for the service.
