Roosevelt

Beginnings: In the centuries before European settlement, Roosevelt was a part of the great forest separating the Hempstead Plains from the meadows and marshes along the South Shore. After the colonists came, the stagecoach route from Hempstead to Babylon passed through the area, and in the late 1700s some entrepreneurs tried to take advantage of the potential business by building taverns. Thus, the community got its first name - Rum Point. The more genteel Greenwich Point became the community's name about 1830. In 1902, when a post office was established, residents renamed it in honor of the current United States president, fellow Nassau County resident Theodore Roosevelt.

  3. Amanda Bynes Arrested & Give Psych Check

    <span style="font-size: small;">The former child star, 27, was arrested Thursday, May 23 at her New York City apartment for marijuana possession, reckless endangerment and tampering with evidence -- and underwent psychiatric evaluation at Roosevelt Hospital -- NYPD confirms to Us Weekly. Building personnel at Bynes' high-rise Manhattan apartment building first contacted police to report that the actress was smoking pot in the building's lobby. When authorities arrived, Bynes had already returned to her apartment. "Officers and building personnel went up to her apartment and she invited them in," an NYPD rep tellsUs, adding that Bynes was alone at the time. "There was a smell of marijuana and a bong in the apartment, at which point Bynes picked up and threw out the window." The What I Like About You star -- whose bizarre NYC behavior and comment-causing Twitter postings have dominated headlines for months -- was then taken to Roosevelt Hospital and the 18th precinct. "She did not resist arrest," NYPD adds. "Can't comment on her emotional or mental state at this time." She was photographed leaving the midtown police station, escorted by officers, in handcuffs and shackles. Earlier in May, the actress pled no contest for driving with a suspended license in Burbank, Calif. back in September 2012, and was placed on three years probation. She still still faces charges stemming from her April 2012 DUI arrest.</span>

  12. Murray is the anchor, but plot adrift in 'Hyde Park on Hudson' ★★

    The music&rsquo;s the best thing about the peculiar, demurely prurient &ldquo;Hyde Park on Hudson,&rdquo; starring Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Laura Linney as his spinster fifth cousin, Daisy Suckley. Setting the scene, and the mood, for this anecdotal account of FDR&rsquo;s pre-war sexual escapades one weekend in 1939, composer Jeremy Sams soaks the movie in a sly and charming recurring theme, a <span class="italic" style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;">habanera </span>rather like a buttoned-down variation on the famous aria from Bizet&rsquo;s &ldquo;Carmen.&rdquo;
