Assume away at my race lol. I have a problem with ghettos. NOT urban ghettos. But ghettos where a minority moves in and it then becomes a town filled with minorities only. It happens to a lot of LI towns. And, no, I'm not anti Arab. Not that Arab applies...they're Asian. I have an issue with the way they maintain that mosque, the tall fence that is braided with screening. It's never been receptive to joining the community, it isolated itself from day one.

It is funny how you keep claiming its going downhill when the prices claim just the opposite. Listen to loribell, she has it right. You're just a troll.

Lmao...Baldwin is Queens at this point. So if course he sees N Bellmore as a bedroom community. Why did you leave Baldwin???

Yes...because I know my area very well. If people are wanting JFK HS & HS's are important to them then yes south of Sunrise is best option. And also South of Merrick Rd is much more quiet & residential than the rest of Bellmore is. That has ALWAYS been a fact. And for anew just joined member you have interesting opinion of me. Gee....wonder who you really are. LOL. Stay where you are Bellmore does not need you want you anyway. But personally I have always preferred living south of Merrick Rd for the peace & quiet & waterfront lifestyle. My husband as a matter of fact just left his long time job & is taking a position with Bellmore school district. And we planned on leaving LI soon too. But guess that is stalled now .

N. Bellmore like I said had a lot of problems in the past year. But we got a bunch of people together & we took action. Seems to be working very well for us. Local politician helped us just last week. Solved a problem fast. People that just spend time complaining never get anything done. Actions speak louder than words.

And whats wrong with minorities?

That bldg isnt the prettiest in town but it is ONE bldg in the town & is not indicative about how the rest of the town looks.

America is melting pot. People of all colors need to live somewhere. If you dont want to live in a diverse town, fine, but no need to call them out & tell people not to live there b/c certain groups do.

I personally love the fact that my neighbors across the street are black, my one next door is Russian & the ones on the other side are Indian. It's a nice experience that I enjoy greatly.

I dont live in NB but i grew up around it & know the area very well

Cut your crap lmao. You tell people to stay away from North Bellmore all the time. ALL the time. You can't back peddle now, sweetie. WE took action? WE got together? You're full of it. Say what you want to today, but your posts say it all. You've done nothing but put it down, advise people to look south, and have commented on the difference in residents. You're laughable at this point. You've made your career out of lambasting North Bellmore.

Black and Russian are great. So are Asian, Australian, anything. But it's not a melting pot there, it's becoming a ghetto. What aren't you comprehending? It's a small influx of white from city (or Baldwin lol), and the rest is Asian. That's not melting. Not at all.

Really, Lori? You've got pages of posts commenting on the mosque. Give it a rest already.

So Asians make towns ghetto?

I did for a very short period of time recently as we noticed some changes. But since we got a bunch of people together & took action instead of just complaining. All those problems were solved & no longer exist anymore at all. But no matter what I will ALWAYS prefer south of Merrick R.d to live. That is my own personal choice. But N. Bellmore is perfectly fine. But small problems exist daily like it does in any community on LI. Or anywhere in America. Drugs are illegals...gangs are destroying most of LI these days. As well as all over the country. Love Bellmore N & S always will be my hometown.
