[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huntington, Centerport, Northport - wondering what it's like in terms of the vibe, politics, people. 
Is it similar to the DMV?[/quote]
[b]I grew up in that area and the phrase "The North Shore of Long Island" does not typically include this area.
North Shore people think about Great Neck to Oyster Bay.  [/b]
Once you are in Suffolk County, you get more Maga. For some of the communities, you have a large # of police and firefighters.

For my friends who live in the Huntington to Northport corridor, a lot of people who are not very politically involved, enjoy their kids sports, and getting out on the boat. [/quote]

Interesting. I'm from Roslyn and definitely think that way, but would struggle to explain how/why the North Shore isn't...all of the North shore of the island! But I would be surprised if someone said they grew up on "the North Shore of Long Island" and it turned out they grew up in...Greenport or something. [/quote]

Yeah I am from the three village area and might say north shore, but normally in combination with "near suny Stony Brook" or "about 60 miles east of Manhattan" or "halfway between the city and the Hamptons" to differentiate from great neck or something.[/quote]
