A Cartoonist’s View from Walt Handelsman

Cool-Downtowns

“Imagine a place where you have to wait two months to see your eye doctor, where the restaurants start dinner service at 4 and it’s lights out by 9. Where the first five rows of parking are all marked “Handicapped” and the grocery stores dedicate two aisles to incontinence products. Welcome to Long Island 2040, where almost everyone is slow, cranky and insists on counting out exact change. We can avoid it, Long Island, but it’s going to take some work right now.”
