LOL! now this is what I call a true hijacking. What happened you didn't like the party at Pequaman's thread so you sent everyone over to yours? Classic!
I just found these forums and now that I'm moving back east I'm having fun reading through the chi-town burbs forum, this forum, and..... the new jersey forum.
I grew up in deer park in the 80s and early 90s and I'd say you really have to split the non NYC part of LI into Nassau, western Suffolk, and eastern Suffolk. Huntington and Babylon always seemed like this limbo area. Not as dense as Nassau. Not as spread out as smith town or brookhaven. I can barely picture here the William Floyd is. I might have been on it once. Or maybe I'm just remembering seeing the exit for it while driving out to montauk.
It's funny, here you can experience the same thing in municipality - Naperville. (I don't want to say town since it's not a town like the Town of Babylon is, it's like deer park or more like Dix Hills.) There's north Naperville, south Naperville, and the the newly built up Naper-tucky.
Wlliam Floyd is pretty far out there from where I'm sitting, I'd already consider that "out east". Although it's not a poll option I'd say the Sagtikos/Sunken Meadow Parkway marks the border between east and west. It's just about right in the middle of the island.
If you count Brooklyn and Queens as part of the Island I say out east begins at about the William Floyd Pkwy, but if you take BK and Queens out of it, Riverhead is the very beginning of out east. To those of you who said Route 110, you are absolutely a waste of space. Route 110 is like 15-20 minutes from the Cross Island Pkwy in Queens. I can't picture anyone driving past the exit for the whitestone bridge in queens and then 15 minutes later saying "Ok we are now out east!". That is the stupidest of stupid. Middle Island is exactly halfway if you count Brooklyn and most suffolk towns are like 20 minutes west of there so how is that out east?
Imagine telling someone from North Jersey who can see the NYC skyline that they are "way out there"? If LI had high hills like Jersey you could see the NYC skyline on LI until probably Bay Shore.

Holy cow. What a stretch! I used to pick up NYC AM radio in Albany on exceptionally clear nights. Does that mean it's not that far from NYC?
What do you consider the dividing line between western and Eastern LI? Colloquially speaking, that LI refers to Nassau & Suffolk.
When i was a kid 25 years ago sunrise highways last street light was at rt 112.I would have considered this the east line.
Does this mean the east line has moved WEST to Lindenhurst? That's where the last traffic light is now.
