I’ve heard complaints about Valley Stream. Jokes. Accusations. But I’ve also heard rebuttal, and in a lot of cases, pride. It’s easy to complain about problems here, especially after a crime. But I know more people that agree our reputation is what’s negative, not our community.

I, like a significant number of Valley Stream residents, live in a house with dogs. Two of them in fact — both beagles and both rescued from shelters in the area. This is the second time that I have had dogs; the first time was growing up and as a teenager in England and my particular angle on life in Valley Stream would be well illustrated by comparing these two experiences.

Earlier this year I approached Andrew Hackmack and expressed interest in writing a column that focused on the lives, hobbies, and occupations of our community. While the Herald already covers the extraordinary endeavors, and at times the unfortunate circumstances of the people of Valley Stream, the middle ground where we most often operate was open for sharing.
