[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone who has the tiniest bit of Italian in them claims to have mob connections. My dad worked for the mob for a few years, and the rules were, ask no questions, accept nothing, take zero pictures. We are jewish. We played jewish geography, but overall, certain towns kind of stuck together. For example, if you lived in Old Bethpage and Plainview (same school district) then you knew people in Syosset and Woodbury, but rarely knew anyone in Bethpage. And if you were a dirtbag, you knew people in Huntington.

My high school had about 1500 kids. I didn't know everyone, but probably recognized a little over 1000 of them as "yeah, s/he goes here". We absolutely didn't know everyone on Long Island.

Staten Island was the smelly place nobody wanted to drive through. [/quote]

I grew up in Plainview![/quote]

I grew up in Huntington! Shocked to find that makes me a dirtbag!?

Very hard to generalize about LI, each town has it's own identity and history. It's changed a lot but there's so much I remain nostalgic for, so many characters and stories.[/quote]

My college boyfriend was rich Irish and from Huntington. Whenever he’d tell people that, his mom would say “Huntington beach!”  Never never Huntington was trashy. [/quote]

Bay I mean, not beach. [/quote]
