Stroll & Savor the Shore, always a popular event, was packed tonight. Lines in front of some of the restaurants and bars selling items for as low as $1 in script snaked along Second Street. My family and I, as well as some Press-Telegram friends, managed to gobble our way down the block. We paid in cash, as script at the Bay Shore branch library was sold out by the time we got there.

Meanwhile, we stopped by the protest of the violence and alleged election tampering in Iran. About 20 people gathered in front of the Chase bank on Second Street. Some had signs and Iranian flags. The event was peaceful. 

The Press-Telegram will post a full-length story and video of the protest tonight. Check back later or look in Friday's paper.
