What Smithtown Corner Needs Immediate Help?

As a Patch blogger stirs up local frustrations, some suggest that the community can rally to clean up town one spot at a time.

A sharply worded " has gotten locals talking about town and the problems the area faces.

"So I've been a resident for a few years and thought that I was moving into a community that was a crown jewel for Suffolk County. Wow...was I wrong!!," the blogger wrote, pointing to issues such as litter, high taxes and drug abuse.

But while many commenters jumped in to highlight other area problems, commenter Kristie M offered a more constructive idea:

"Volunteer to clean up a beach or park. Get friends together with giant garbage bags and clean up the side of one road once a month or something. ... Realize that we have to be answer and start doing any one thing, even it's only an hour a week or a month."

So here's our question: What corner of Smithtown can the community tackle themselves? Where can the cleanup start?

"Why are Smithtown teachers continuing to pay for school supplies out of their ownRead More pocket?" Since when? Ever see the big list of supplies kids get in their folders at the end of the year for them to bring in next year? I think you're talking about the wrong school district.
