[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spend time in the Hamptons and near Nickerson Beach. It is hard to imagine more different places that are on the water in close physical proximity.  Hamptons is very new money.  Nickerson is very blue lives matter.  There is no interaction whatsoever.[/quote]
Nickerson Beach is Lido Beach? Nassau County & the east end are worlds apart. The south fork of LI was up until its Hamptonization an agricultural economy, with seasonal tourism & seasonal homes thrown in. Now it's awash in flashy money and gigantic homes cover virtually all the old farm fields. It's still exceptionally beautiful in a way that all those deep pockets, and committed locals have been able to protect with restrictions & regulations.[/quote]

It is so sad what has become of the North Fork on the eastern end of the island. Vineyards have replaced charming farms. But then again, the chemicals used on those farms have caused a lot of health issues for those who grew up around them. 
Long Island has so many different flavors. [/quote]
