Sometimes it's a little dangerous to walk to the station too.
Down past Duffy's...ahem...Third World Rental Properties and the businesses..especially that trucking business that's TOO BIG for it's own space, and you have to, literally, DODGE tractor trailers, back and forth across the residential street, because they use it as an additional parking lot. It's NOT a cake walk, FOR SURE.
From the other direction, that is Broadway, it's sometimes, educational, populated by street hostesses.
The gas station, there, was the site of an AM murder-robbery a year or so ago.
I resided in Hicksville with Bethpage schools for twenty years then moved to Suffolk. Sold in Suffolk and will move to SW Florida.
Went back recently and Broadway (107) has really gone ethnic.

Yeah ... but ... they will not wreck the neighborhood and cause problems for everyone else! I am sure for the most part you will NOT find Indian kids spraying graffiti all over the place, joining gangs, committing crimes and vandalism. They will more likely be found studying! I remember recently an Indian boy from Hicksville placed high (3rd I think) in the National Spelling Bee.

Yeah, maybe they are in front of their computers ?

The real answer is that the kids from families with upper middle class parents who push them to do well in school don't get in trouble. If their parents don't do that, south Asian kids can get in trouble just like anyone else. I could tell you horror stories from when I lived in the UK.

Yeah, I know it's oversimplified. However, that is the way most Indian kids I have met here are. And yes, their parents do bust their chops to study and stay out of trouble.
As for the UK, doesn't it have a very good welfare state and attract more of the "bottom of the barrel" types and illegal aliens than the US does? I read an article about illegal immigration in Europe and it said that at the tunnel from France to England, throngs of people from places like Africa and SE Asia have set up homeless camps and are all looking to get into the UK and want someone to put them in the trunk of their car and smuggle them through. (The article said that these people do not want to stay in France because France is very stingy in terms of welfare entitlements for illegal aliens.)
first off.... queens is not that bad... people are sayin that hempstead is better than queens... i disagree... remember queens is made up of many towns, so you need to be a little specific, i will say hempstead is alot worse than alot of queens towns.. for instance, bellerose, queens village, forest hills, richmond hills, bayside... these towns are way better than hempstead.. id say hempstead is equivelant to jamaica... as far as hicksville goes... it's no where close to looking like queens... just like any town, the deeper u go into it, the more u find out about it, so if you only look at hicksville near 106, and 107... u havnt looked deep enough.. thats all on the outside.. look further, and maybe u will find a very pleasent place to live... GET REAL PEOPLE..im not from hicksville, im from east meadow
As someone who has lived in Hicksville for two years, I think it's a great place to live.
Hicksville may not be Kings Point or Syosset but JESUS CHRIST.. it's not Hempstead or even Huntington Station.
Hicksville is comparable to Oyster Bay/East Norwich and has a school system which is similar to that of Plainview (and Plainview is more expensive- making Hicksville the better buy)
People on this board are talking about Hicksville like it's a washed-away ghetto.
Most of the negative comments about Hicksville seem to be somewhat racist in nature.. I feel sorry for those who are so narrow-minded as to choose to live in a community based on the percentage of white people who live there.
