Attias Flea Market Closes But Leaves Its Mark Behind

The now vacant building and surrounding property isn't quite empty given the debris and garbage visible on and off the property.

The Attias Flea Market may be closed, but it's still leaving its mark along Broadway Avenue in Sayville as litter and garbage from vendors moving out is lining both sides of the roadway, as well as in the now empty parking lot.

Just who is responsible for the cleanup isn't clear just yet. Patch has been unable to reach the property owner.

The property is reportedly going to be the site of a Target store, though the brandname retailer has not officially declared it will open a store at the location though its application to build a store has been approved by the Town of Islip.

A spokesperson for Target said the retailer does not officially announce a new location until it is within one year of a scheduled opening date.

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
