Would that be the Polish Catholics or the Polish Jews?

To this day, many, if not the majority of, Polish Catholics do not consider Polish Jews, Poles.

Who are these majority of Polish Catholics? Polish-Americans who don't even speak polish? Or polish people living in Poland? Have you even been to Poland? I'm 100 Polish and I don't understand what you are trying to say.

I have to concur. Copiague has always had a "sketchy" reputation (to borrow a term from another thread here).

There are, as in most towns, good places to live, but remember the public schools will contain kids from "both sides" of town. Which is not always a bad thing.

To the original poster, Lindenhurst has decent schools, and you can find a house at both ends of the spectrum very easily. Go north for lower-end, go south for higher-end (to a point), and somewhere in the middle in the Village of Lindenhurst, you can find some outrageously priced houses that I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole

Oh, and beware the busing environment with Lindenhurst schools. If you don't mind trekking your elementary school-age kids every day, or don't live far enough from the high-school or middle school, it's fine. But they recently did a shady deal with increasing the busing limits that puts almost every elementary-school kid inside the busing limit, and put even more middle- and high-school kids off the buses. Meaning, the traffic will be even MORE unbearable than it already was near the schools at beginning and end of day. It's going to be interesting to see what Wellwood Ave looks like at 8AM in the morning near the middle school. It was already unpassable for about 15 minutes at 8AM and 3PM, but now? Unbelievable.
