We are all staring at a global pandemic, the rise of nationalism, a movement of defund police, and others. Socially this is a tough time. To add more to this there is an uptick in racism.

Her neighbor has left dead animal in her yard, from squirrels to god knows what. The neighbor often brandishes…

There are many more Covid related deaths. The ones we don’t talk about is businesses. Recently it was announced a Huntington restaurant that are friends of LIB Magazine, Cinque Terre, announced their were shutting their doors for good. Cinque Terre was a great restaurant! Restaurants, especially family restaurant are at the heart of our economy. Restaurants employ dozens of people, and many times the end of a complicated supply chain. Think of the industries restaurants influence. They influence dozens of vendors, everything from alcohol, soft drinks, fish, meats, linens and loads of others. Cinque Terre provided entertainment with local musicians…

Think back. Remember March 13th? It feels like a lifetime ago. Our collective lives have changed… Not for the better. Who knew that Friday the thirteenth would have been our last normal day in our life. Covid 19 changed our life drastically. It’s fast approaching 4 months since we heard of wearing masks or the term Social Distancing became part of our daily vernacular. It’s been four long months, and there is no real end in sight. We still haven’t gotten our arms completely around this. We are still in wave 1, part I don’t know 5? We still haven’t…

This has been more than 50 years in the making! The Village of Babylon hosted its first Pride Parade! This couldn’t have come at a better time! We shook off the doldrums of quarantine life and took to Deer Park Ave for an event like none other. Team LIB was proud to be part of this. This was less of a parade and more of a celebration. Sunday celebrated life, love and the ability to live your own truth. Bouncy dance music filled the hot humid air. Vocals from Madonna, Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston and even Dennis Ferrara was the…

Scenario- A wife cheats on her husband what happens? Another scenario- A husband doesn’t tell him wife the full story. What happens? What if their child gets expelled from school, and doesn’t come clean about it what happen? Is their credibility in tact? There is a old adage, like some funny quotes, It says “Virginity is like a bubble. One prick all gone” There is some truth to that. A damaged relationship is tough to repair. It is not impossible but tough. Policing in the United States is similar. There isn’t a lot of trust there. When two separate black…

As a sports fan, I miss baseball. Well actually, I miss avoiding baseball while checking in nightly to get scores and highlights- but whatever. More than following baseball I enjoy talking baseball. I love the endless nonsense of which player is better. I just love that. Since we don’t have baseball to watch, I decided to create a list. I started watching baseball in the mid 80s and really got into it after I stopped playing in 9th grade (’93 ish.) In my 30 years of watching I wanted to come up with my own player player by position. I…

Views expressed are proudly by John Milovcic All photos are populated via Google. Peaceful protesting is a right. It is protected under our first amendment of the Constitution. We as Americans have the right to peacefully assembly. Protests happen because they can work. America is founded, at least in part by protests sometimes escalating towards rioting. We do not condone looting, but we understand it. Need an example? The Boston Tea Party. Do you think it was about a group of people drinking Earl Grey along the Charles River? That was looting. Yes, the victim was the English so we look…

Let me start by reintroducing myself. My name is John, I’m 41 years old (that so doesn’t sound right), and I am Boro Born. I spend the the first almost 20 years staring at NYC from my Middle Village apartment almost every day. NYC is the place I love. It’s not just my first love, NYC has been my only love. I am Boro Born and I feel privileged about that. I have never seen NYC like this before. The city is empty and it’s eery. Like end of world eery. I decided to take a ride in the…
