Yeah, on Old Country Rd. You go all the way here to go to Outback? Aren't there closer ones in Queens? lol. I used to go to the one in Rego Park.
Yeah sometimes we'll go if we're near Roosevelt Field, I haven't ate there since last Winter though. I've only been to Queens Center twice (I'm scared to death of those shaky escalators), they're almost equidistant though lol.
Long beach Ca! Aka-The International City
or "the LBC"
Pop : 492,682
45.16%- White
14.87% African American
12.05% Asian,
20.61% from other races
Hispanic or Latino of any race were 35.77% of the population.
Biggest suburb( pop wise) in La metro!
The problem is that Long Beach isn't a suburb, but a city in its own right that has its own urban core and own distinct neighborhoods that set it apart from many other cities in the LA metro area. I don't think most people who are familiar with SoCal and the LA Area would consider the LBC to be a 'bedroom community' of LA, but rather as its own entity. They even have their own public transit system that isn't run by the LACMTA (except for the obvious Blue Line Light Rail). Long Beach Transit | Home Page
I guess this really depends on what you mean by 'suburb'.
The most populated municipalities in Greater LA after Long Beach are Santa Ana and Anaheim (nearly tied in population), which are both in Orange County.
Wow, that area looks familiar. I have an uncle who lives in West Hempstead somewhere near the Southern State Parkway. I remember driving around with him in an area that looked an awfully lot like that. Where exactly is this?

PS: Love your taste in 80s music
Thank you! Yeah, I listen to the xm 80s station The video was taken in Westbury along Old Country Rd. It's about 4 towns away from West Hempstead. Not that close to the Southern State pkwy though.
Some including the NY Times have suggested Philadelphia is a suburb of NY, absurd but thought it interesting, BTW, there are far too many pictures of strip malls and business parks, guess that is why I love the urban vibrancy, not suburban blah
There are some great small towns too, I think if once you get there you drive around and are unsure of where there is, you really havent found a plce worth much more than transcient shoppers and workers KOP or Tysons Corner lost of jobs and shopping, I would take Ardmore or even disneyfied Restin over either even if they have more jobs and shopping (if a mall is your thing). Once you to those towns you actually know you have arrived.
Bloomington (35.5 sq. miles) is the Twin Cities largest suburb with ~85,000. The Mall of America is located there as well as several corporations such as HealthPartners, Ceridian, and Donaldson Company, Inc.

Thats the whole Mall of America? It doesn't look that big from that picture, is that only part of it?
I believe it's Parma for Cleveland at around 80,000. There would be 1 larger but you have to take into account Cleveland has around 100 different suburbs many of them are separated for no reason.
