Hicksville sure is changing for the worse, but that is to be expected when illegal aliens move into an area. I would not walk anywhere there at night. This is the “new Nassau” Tom Suozzi has brought us, now we have to be wary of our surroundings and keep our distance from men loitering on the street, since their next move could be to rob you.
