Here are the top 3 stories in Huntington today: Mercy First in Syosset to close its doors after teens arrested. Earlier this week a group of teens who were residents at the group home, were arrested for breaking into numerous Syosset businesses. Mercy First will now close its residential foster care program and pay damages to the businesses. "We are all in an uproar," said Anna Watanabe, Syosset. "We live very close. We're a little bit afraid now and we just hope they can straighten these kids out." (News 12 Connecticut) Check out the 'Wow House' of the week. Take a look at this beautiful $1.3M Fort Salonga home located at 20 Northfield Ln. "We have an adorable chicken coop for our hens that lay eggs so beautiful that they would make Martha Stewart jealous, a wildflower pasture, fencing for dogs (we literally have Lassie but he is coming with us), and complete privacy on this bucolic property," said Grace S., the current homeowner.
