I miss Franks Bakery too especially loved their semollina bread! My sister-in law used to work there and she always brought it home, hot right out of the oven MMM nothing like it!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Adventureland! I have pictures of my brother and I sometime around 1972 on the train that goes around the park and is still there! Remember the game you put money into and it was like a clown puppet with music in the background? You could make the puppets legs move and hands move by pressing buttons!!!
Did you see Music & Lyrics? Hugh Grant's character gets a singing gig at Adventureland! It even looks like they filmed the scene there. Funny, funny, funny!
There's a scene in it that's supposed to be set in Glen Cove - the one where the bad guys get Cary Grant soused and try to set him up to get killed? My question - is that really Glen Cove?

Wasn't there an Alan Alda movie filmed at Adventureland? I can't remember the name.
I left LI long ago....but we still marvel that no one out west can see the beauty of Dairy Barn....are they still around???
Strathmore Bagels (did they survive the scandals?), Davis Peach Farm(s), Smith's Point....and the FOOD! No one outside of NY knows how to eat!!
Diary Barns are still there. And the 1st ever made is still there. (On Broadway in Massapequa) Smiths point is alive and well I believe. Though Dune Road is 1/2 gone from erosion.(West Hampton) LOL,,Strathmore Bagels! I believe there still around. Where did you live?
The last time I visited LI was about 4-5 yrs ago. With all of LI's frustrations, as soon as I'm back I get that feeling that LI really IS the center of the universe!
I spent my first 20 years growing up by the lake.
