@newsday.tv: Are you worried about the "same-ification" of Long Island as national chains move in? People are showing up to support East Meadow's locally owned Burger City, which recently got shoved into the spotlight when global company Shake Shack moved in next door. The New York City-based burger chain which opened its first location in 2004 is drawing online and in-person debate with its latest opening. The conversation centers on The Meadows, a spacious shopping center on Hempstead Turnpike with your usual assortment of chains and local businesses, like a pet supply store, a dentist and a slice shop. On Oct. 21, Shake Shack opened its ninth Long Island location next door to the locally owned favorite, Burger City. This affront seems to have touched a nerve with local residents.
