.. you see a young girl wearing oversized sunglasses in a white Nissan Altima blow through a stop sign while on her cell phone almost every day ...

You get a doormer put on your house to beat out your neighbor. You think you own the street in front of your house. you let your lawn sprinklers hit your neighbors car. you argue with posters of this forum about how foolish they were about moving. But you are planning a move yourself.

Stumbled onto this thread when searching for information on 'The Broaster House!' So it really did exist. And what about Nunley's? Lollipop Farm?
I haven't read the whole thread yet but a flood of great memories is coming back. I miss Billy Blake and McCrory! But we were so excited when Smithhaven Mall opened up.
I saw Billy Joel perform live, in some basement club, back when he was one of The Hassles. 0_0
Does anyone remember Merrick Manor? I think it burned down some time ago.
