Opinion: 'Gold Coast' Furthers Stereotype

Farmingdale Patch rounds up some of the best blogs of the week.

Joseph Alicata objects to the planned reality show, “Growing Up Gold Coast” which debuts on the Lifetime channel in November. “Just as Jersey Shore added to the Italian stereotype and set back people from Jersey twenty years, this train wreck excuse for entertainment will undoubtedly further the already long list of  'Lawn Guy Land' stereotypes."

Dr. Susan Bartell is a psychologist who finds fault with candidates’ behavior. "Regardless of whether you vote Democrat or Republican, I'm sure we can all agree that every person expecting to be a leader of a country should role model "good" behavior for kids and teens (and the rest of us!). Sadly, this does not seem to be a priority for our candidates."

Madeleine Berg  offers a kale, lentil and sausage soup recipe. “Kale's profile is definitely trending up. We all have some idea that it is good for us. But, when faced with a lineup of green-leafies, could you positively ID the kale?”

Dr. Michael H. Polcino addresses fears about flu shots during pregnancy. "If you get vaccinated during your pregnancy, your unborn starts to get some protection during this period.  This also gives the newborn a degree of protection in the first few months of life when their vaccinations have not been begun."

Missy Weiss explains the exciting hive life of the honeybee. “The honeybee is a fascinating example of insect behavior. These social organisms live in associations where their survival is dependent on mutual cooperation and the division of labor. A true matriarchal society, the queen bee (reproductive female) rules and controls all of her offspring (drones and workers).”

Hate to sound like an old woman, but when it was Von Leeson's it was always a joy to be there. AllRead More the staff had been there for years and treated the customers like family. Food was consistently good and they never "ran out" of anything. This place shouldn't be open for business. The poor kid waiting on us last time had to come to me and tell me they had no dessert to have with coffee other than ice cream. We left him a nice tip and I told him to find a job somewhere else; he'd never make any money there. It's a great location. We just need some smart business people to run it!

The young man server was doing his best, but still eggs, potatoes, and hash, no potatoes come, begged for coffee refills, ketchup was the very bottom of a heinz bottle. The excuse was sorry we have a new cook,..something tells me that aint the only problem, how does one screw up breakfast. Sorry wont be going back any time soon, unless I see a new mngment or new owner sign.

. This place is just not good. There is nothing appealing about poor service and absolutely horribleRead More food. It should have stayed closed when it went out of business not long ago. I hope the employees can find another means .
