What about Otter Creek???? I grew up within walking distance of Rum Bottoms (Now part of Island Rec pools) and I remember seeing them there.
I used to work at the Grill Store on the other side of the Island Rec shopping center. We hung out at Rum Bottoms and ate pizza at Pizza Cove. I was quite a healthy walk from there -- lived south of the SS between 107 & Broadway.
I remember my cousin lived in Commack and received the same cable as a friend in Huntington, I remember a Cinema X on cable which was adult entertainment! Her boyfriend used to come over and try to access it.How about supermarkets? Hills, bohack,blue Jay, Edwards warehouse,the original meat farms? Does anyone remember Play World, Child World King Goerge and before it was toys r us it was called Children's Bargain Town! Remember Heffrons? it took over the Hauppauge Movie Theatre, I think someone remembered Corniche in Ronkonkoma? Oh yeah for a laugh remember when Kentucky Fried Chicken was good and it was rat free!
Any late 1960's/early 1970's Children's Bargain Town newspaper ads?
I used to work at Jahns and had so much fun making the kitchen sink!!!!
