I'm from Long Island. This is spot on and I'm not happy admitting that.

The people I went to high school with really didn't leave. Some may have gone to college but they didn't exactly stretch themselves academically and they didn't travel. I think that's key. They have no concept of life off of LI.
You'd think people who are so close to NYC would be cultured and many are but the farther east you go, the less people seem to travel (Hamptons excluded of course)

The people I went to high school with in Suffolk County sound exactly the same as they did when we were teenagers. They travel to Florida or maybe South Carolina but that's it.

I'm somehow a freak because I worked hard, went to a very competitive college and grad school, traveled extensively, lived abroad and settled in DC after living other places in Europe, Africa and the US (even the South - it's worse than LI).

Nassau is much more progressive of course but you still have way to many Republicans and Trump supporters. ugh
