You Know You're From Long Island When... (Hempstead, Levittown: garden, best)

Living Here In West Central Fla You Cant Throw A Rock And Not Hit A Former Long Islander. Its A Shame The Cost Of Living And Housing Drove So Many People Away. Here In Fla It Was Dirt Cheap To Live , But Thats Changing Too. It Will Be Like Up North Price Wise Before Long. Down Here Homeowners Insurance Is Whats Killing Us And The Taxes Are Going Up Too. Lots Of People Are Leaving Here For States Like Tenn, Or Georgia. Ive Been Here For Some Time Now But L.i. Will Always Be Home To Me, Nothing But Good Memories Growing Up On The South Shore (patchogue).

Remember to Commack Arena? It was on the corner of 347 and the Sagtikos. I used to come out from Lynbrook to see concerts there. Also saw the circus there.
