[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s interesting about Suffolk County in particular? It’s pretty removed from the city. You could ask the same question about Orange or Putnam.[/quote] Because Long Island, as far as it is from the city, still associates heavily with the city. People have long commutes to work and are proud of their city connections. [/quote] I grew up in Suffolk County (although Dem rather than Republican), most people work in Suffolk/Nassau rather than the city, and many people don’t feel a particular connection to the city, let alone a pride in that. If anything, there’s a certain irritation among many people that we’re constantly lumped in with the city rather than recognized as a separate area with our own needs and interests.[/quote] I had a completely different experience. I grew up in Huntington, were you further out?[/quote]
