Lindenhurst Students Take A Trip Through Jazz History

The Lindenhurst High School Jazz Band recently spent a day at the Jazz Loft, a famous museum located in Stony Brook Village. This educational field trip gave our talented student musicians the opportunity to tour the museum, take part in a music workshop,

and play a concert for a full house at a storied venue.

The Jazz Loft is dedicated to the preservation of jazz history. Contained in a historical building dating back to the 1700’s, the Jazz Loft contains vintage performance spaces from the 1940’s and invites a

number of local, national and international artists to play. Through the visit, the jazz band students were able to learn about the genre’s history and develop important skills. They also had the opportunity to perform in an authentic jazz venue.

Lindy American Little League Opening Day

On April 13th, the chilly, windy weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of the North Lindenhurst American Little League (LALL) Opening Day Parade and Ceremony. The Little League Parade, a beloved tradition in the Lindenhurst

community, signals the start of the baseball season.

Mayor Michael Lavorata said, “The Lindenhurst Village Board is grateful to all who help with the Lindenhurst American Little League, especially League President Robert Pacheco and all the LALL officers, managers, coaches, team parents, volunteers, and team sponsors. Also, best wishes to all our Little Leaguers as they grab their mitts, and bats to play ball and enjoy another season.”

One Word That Can Change Everything

Last week, I pulled out of my office parking spot which is on the corner of Linton Avenue and Montauk Highway (across from the Lindenhurst Diner). I sat at the red light and looked back at my building to see a mural I had painted on it when I moved in two years ago.

I saw the side of the building as a blank canvas and thought about all the people who would drive by my building every morning and every evening. This was a golden advertising opportunity, but what did I want to tell them? Maybe I could paint something about JoAnn Cilla Real Estate or come up with a witty tag line to get people to call me if they were looking to buy or sell a house. Nah, that’s not my style. I would rather let my friends and residents of Lindenhurst know how much I appreciate the support they gave me when I started my business in 2021. I also wanted to let people know who might be new to the area, or even those just passing through for the day, that we appreciated them spending time in our town.

Yes, that was it, but what three words would make people stop what they were doing to appreciate where they were at that exact moment? Then it hit me…

I want the mural to remind people to pause and appreciate the big victories and the quiet moments.

I want it to say to my clients, thank you for your trust and friendship. To my team, thank you for your dedication and hard work. And to our community, thank you for making Lindenhurst the best place to live. If you’re passing by, I hope the message inspires you. And if you ever want to talk about our local real estate market or just want some advice, park next to the sign and come on in…my door is always open.
