Annie's luncheonette in Malverne, popular hangout for teens in the 70's (it's now called Our Town) Ickle Bickles in Malverne, Gouz farm in Elmont. I REMEMBER THEIR SLOGAN IN THE 70'S WAS "GOUZ...RHYMES WITH COWS!"

Yes, these generations created tort law which gave us helmets, car seats, non-lead paints and malpractice. Then they got rich making helmets in China and mandating lead paint removal and requiring liability insurance. Hey, with the credit comes the blame.

Smile My Memories

I lived in Amityville from 2 years old (1952) until I got married in 1971. Amityville will always be home even though we have lived in Florida for the past 40 years. Memories

Playing hand ball behind Woolworths on its rear wall.
Having French fries and a coke at Buddy's Luncheonette
Going to Amity Theater 30 cents to get in.
Having pizza slices at the Pizza Oven.
Stealing a pickle out of the pickle barrel at the Jewish Deli.
Hard seeded rolls and crumb cake at Cream Puff Bakery
Italian Dinners at the Driftwood Restaurant
Just hanging out with friends from Amityville, Massapequa & Farmindale
All of the above at Inter County Shopping Center Carman Rd.
Directly across the street was Our Lady of Lourdes church where we went to dances once a month. Loved growing up there and go back as often as possible just to look and day dream.

Finding (in the early 1950s) real Indian artifacts on the beach in front of our new summer house on
Strongs Neck. Probably no one else had been there for all those years. There were arrowheads,
Indian paint pots , corn grinders .... all things which you can find in museums. We really did not
appreciate this at the time, though.

Now that is really, really cool.


There is partially submerged farming equipment in the swamp on my property.
Looks to be 19th century. Haven’t had a chance to wade out there and really check it out yet.

Interesting. Are you a Strong? Certainly no more "summer homes" on Strongs Neck nowadays.
