I found another fake driving around South Valley Stream today: Mill Brook. Just south of the Green Acres Mall, and it's weird because there are official Nassau County signs marking it's existence in the neighborhood....which is usually only reserved for official cities/villages/hamlets. Maybe Mill Brook is the real deal now? The signs looked recent.

How about North Great River - technically Central Islip, but they have a sign and everything welcoming you to that area. Wife grew up there - it is CI, no question.

North Great River is a hamlet, South Setauket is a neighborhood in a hamlet - Centereach specifically. All of the hamlets that don't have post offices do have official county signs marking them (see: Lakeview, Garden City Park, Plainedge, Herricks, Searingtown, Manhasset Hills, etc. etc.)

Haha Star Trek is definitely not my cup of tea....I've always centered my nerd fascinations on much more convoluted crap that NO ONE finds interesting.

Floral Park Crest = Elmont or Was Floral Park Crest created by Lipstick LesbX'X and QueeX Boy real estate sales clerks in order to Dump the Houses in Northern Elmont after Elmont became predominately non-white????????????

South Floral Park = Village or Floral Park Crest or Elmont? Did the Lipstick's and Queens create this one too????

Barnum Woods = East Meadow or North Bellmore? Or was it created by greedy Real Estate developers to give poor J E W's who could not afford Great Neck and Hewlet some self esteem????

Barnum Woods was "created" in the early 19th century, East Meadow is the newer name. South Floral Park is a legit village.
