I agree if this was a social chat board. But, it isn't a social chat board; it's a real estate forum, and correct geographic terminology should be the rule on a real estate forum, regardless of the issue being discussed.

No one. People drive to the strip mall or downtown business area within a hamlet or a village, as the case may be.

Some hamlets and villages have strip malls and downtown business areas and some hamlets and villages do not have strip malls or downtown business areas.

I disagree, there is a CD Real Estate forum here http://www.city-data.com/forum/real-estate/ . Many of us enjoy the frequent discussions on Long Island Economics, entertainment and society, as well as the "tell me about (insert town here)" threads.


Calling East Northport a town is correct, look up the defintion of a town, it fits quite nicely. I don't believe too many folks reading this thread are exclaiming "wait a minute, there's a town called East Northport? I thought there was only a Hamlet by that name, I'm so consused!"

Lighten up a bit, looking down your nose at folks who do not share your geography fetish is a bit much.

The bar she is describing is as bad as she makes it seem if not worse, i have been inside there at night in the past and watched as all the addicts wait for the dealers to show up with the coke and crack and then its empty as they have all left to go do their score. The first time I have ever stepped over needles, (hyperdermic) was while walking to the train station and passing by the parking lot behind the bar, (I saw an officer in his car later and had him go and pick them up) its not my job. This place might change names but that only protects the buildings owners, the clientel (sp?) stays the same and with it does the dealings.

It is not the only bar on larkfield road that you can find drugs in I promise you that. There are going to be drugs everywhere you go I understand that, but I think what Virginia is describing is the ones who are coming into our town to profit from the drugs. there are gangs in east northport, or basically MS-13 has set up shop on larkfield road, believe it or not. It might not be a visible problem yet but after the recent gang war that went on in Huntington Station (may 2009) it appears that MS-13 moved some of its business to East Northport because there are no Bloods here. If you doubt it just go and talk to an officer the next time you see one, they were open with me when i spoke to them about the needles i saw in the parking lot. There is definately a rising problem with drugs sales in the area and its ties to gangs.

While yes my property values havent seem to go down that much as the rest of the country I hope we can say the same for 20 years from now which is when i had always planned on moving. I can only hope so.

As for the clean up I had read about it and wanted to help and become more active in the community but I had prior things to do that day, i do hope they do it again and soon.

I really wish someone would do something with the old DANO repair shop at the corner of pulaski and larkfield road, I have heard that the dumpin of old motor oil has left the lot in need of big money for anyone to develop the lot but I feel someone needs to do something soon, I can only see it being a matter of time before more of larkfield looks like that if it is left alone.

any way Its nice to meet some of you and hope to see you more often, and yes I used to think my town was better than a lot of other places, but I no longer feel that way, its just what i feel,

As for the real estate agent who inquired about references, let me say this, Huntington township doesnt want the public to know about the problems that are rising across the township. When there are gang related shootings Newsday doesnt mention that those involved were active gang members, I only know of the gang war in the station from talking to local cops, they do not elaborate as to why it isnt reported, but after hearing what they had to say I went back and tried to read more about it online only to find that Newsday hadnt reported any of the things that the local cops told me. Why? I asked myself, and that is why i say what i have above. References, how bout you go talk to local cops, instead of just reading stuff on the internet

I am 99.9% sure you will see a 7-11 under construction at the old DANO automotive site really soon....We need another one, you have to travel about 1/2 mile North or South to get to one.
BTY I am serious about them putting one there, its in the works.

This is a quasi-public discussion forum. It is not a real estate forum. Show me, oh fetish man, where a document linked here states that discussions must be about real estate and that they must use the right municipal nomenclature.

You've gone from helpful to annoying in quick order.

The only time the hamlet/village/town designation would be impportant if it is relevant to the topic of conversation or if their were two different types of municipalities with the same name (e.g. Town and Village of Babylon).

Who drives to Hamlet for a slice of pizza anyway?

Using perfectly understandable colloquial terminology that doesn't lend itself to confusion is perfectly acceptable.

There are others who class people by the language that they use. It is called elitist arrogance.

This is what I had heard, too. I'll still go to one stop across the street, though.

Rumors of East Northport's demise have been circulating forever. When we first moved there in 1995 I had friends and family begging me not to go because its decline was accelerating and the end was near. The increase in trash is most likely the result in reduced overtime and staff by the town thus reducing the amount of effort put forth to clean the streets. I would think the presence of Wendy's is likely offset by the shuttering of Taco Bell so no need to blame any one establishment.

And every town has a drug problem and that's true wherever you happen to live. Even if you close down the current hot spot another will pop up to take its place.

Lastly if it isn't going to be a 7-11 at the corner of Pulaski and Larkfield it would've been a CVS (or Walgreens). This isn't the economic climate for a new local business to setup shop and renovate an existing structure.

Walter Greenspan, will you please show us on a map precisely where Pulaski and Larkfield are at, and tell us precisely what we should call that geographical entity? Will you tell us if they are streets, avenues, or boulevards? Will you tell us if they are in a hamlet, and if so, in what township?

I mean, where are your maps when we need them? Where is your geo-lexicon when it is absolutely necessary? There have been as many as three uninterrupted posts in this thread without a map and a didactic statement about what a place should be called?

Oh, Walter Greenspan, where are you?!

At least it's not a pizza place or nail salon.
