I actually have a theory that as Mt.Sinai and Miller Place got McMansioned, it's let to the downfall of Port Jeff as they brought in the day laborers for cheap labor.

Trust me its not at all bad, just different.Schools are still very,very good and the University offers plenty in terms of culture.Its just gotten so overblown and packed with traffic.
I just think theres so little real LI left in Brookhaven that I find it very sad.
Id say the biggest change in this area of late has been Mt Sinai and Miller Place, it just got McMansioned to death.
Truth be told many people love that. Its just not my thing at all.
We were actually out at Panera Smithtown today but New money is new money and there no cure for idiocy.
Really lady, talking on your phone,navigating the slop, latte in hand, to save your Uggs while leaving Panera, you ding my car door with your Land Rover while I'm sitting in it, and not even offer an apology.
Really lady....really?
Really?
Your sons a peach too, rocking the trifecta of the Ed Hardy, blowout and diamond earrings.
When did this Island become so [mod] language removed [/mod]
I'm sorry but I hate it when I have to go west of 112.Not because thats the only place you find these idiots just that the saturation of them is more pronounce.
I think it has more to do with the fact that she owns a Land Rover than anything else. That is one of the biggest "gauchemobiles" out there, and frankly, I'm inclined to write anyone who owns one off as a sublime ahole just on general principle. Conspicuous consumption is always tacky, but conspicuous consumption in the age of global warming and 10% unemployment is just galaxy-class ego and self-absorption. Thing is, there are people like that everywhere.
I had a claim once...took a statement from our insured...asked if anyone was hurt, he said NO. Get the police report 2weeks later, driver of other car was killed. Called back our insured ...WTF? His response was "well the accident wasn't MY FAULT so what difference does it make?"
We also had someone come in with blood on their car - turned out they'd been in a very well publicized hit and run (this was over 15 years ago). Even after the police came to the claims office, they still denied it.

Just be glad you aren't married to it.
I bought mine prior to unemployment being at 10% but I appreciate your generalization and insult sweetheart.
Love ya pal but if there was ever a ground zero (and I do mean zero) it would be Da Pequas.They do migrate to Hampton Bays in the summer but thats indeed a native bird of Da Riv.

Here's my story close to yours here about LI new money.
Last year, we drove Chicago----LI.. Got onto the LIE East at around 11pm in Queens. Tons of traffic, accident ahead, ya know 5mph move stop move----then "pop." Looked in my rear-view and there was a mercedes SUV that just bumped us. The princess was on the phone laughing lookin' the other way--making believe it didn't happen. It was pretty scary gettin' out on the LIE, but I did, no real damage, but there was a dent. I went over to her window. but she just kept talking, and didn't even look at me--I tapped on her window. Finally, she opened it in a huff like I was bothering her. I told her I need her info. because she tapped me, and it was a rental car, and I couldn't recall the insurance set-up. She just denied hitting me even after I told her we felt it... She said "it's only a piece of s--t rental, what do you care?" I took her plate #, gave it in, but never heard anything. ----------Thing is, she was just talking and talking in her big a-s Benz SUV, and probably didn't even feel it when she bumped---so, she's not lying, just kinda sayin' "the world revolves around me," and when I decide I really hit you, then I did, otherwise don't bother me." I guess old money or regular people would've just done the right thing-------still ?------I hope
This happened in Queens, which is part of NYC.
Why did you have to drag Long Island into it? Did she have "I live on LI" tattooed on her forehead?
