Ill take your word for it (and hers) since you both live(d) there but Ridge is still more desirable than N Shirley.
Hey at least youre not in Floyd.
Crooks
May be your opinion but you can't back it up.
Ridge was the foreclosure capital of the 1980's (And the building construction is exactly that-1980) and it's in the same "Bad" Longwood SD as N Shirley. But Ridge is better...

And, what is, and exactly where, is "Floyd"?

He's talking about the SD, implying Floyd is not as good as Longwood, which is not as good as Rocky Point ('Cause he lives there), despite the fact that Rocky point schools hires child porn addicts.
That's a factual statement, btw.

I dont think Longwoods bad just N.Shirley....or shall is say Tangiers or is it E. Yaphank this week.
Dude Im just effing with you.
Shirley/Longwoods fine, its just got an image problem and its downstream from BNL which may make some people uncomfortable.
Thats all.
Crooks
PS
There is no North Shirley just like theres no Floyd Harbor or South Setauket....Wheres Walter?

Wheras Shirley merely calls its pedophiles "neighbors".
Howddddddddddddddddddddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
That's a fatual statement btw.
Listen this threads not about RP or the Shirleys.
Its about Ridge which IMHO has come a long long way since the 80s
If you want do dispute the merits of your area on yet another thread, please start one.

You're correct, Crooks, there ain't no North Shirley, Floyd Harbor nor South Setauket.

Um, I lived in S. Setauket and the mail was delivered to "South Setauket". Seriously. Also, There is a sign along Morices Middle Island Road that says "East Yaphank". I'll take a pic one day.
It makes sense to distinguish certain areas to narrow down where you live. "Shirley" is a pretty big place, but if you live in North Shirley, it kinda makes it easier for people to relate to where you live.
Same can be said for South Setauket as it is not in the area people generally associate with Centereach and Selden.
To the best of knowledge, there is no Floyd Harbor!
Ridge is one the few LI communities that hasn't changed much. Fairly solid middle class and blue collar, though the deli at Panamoka Trail and 25 is gearing to illegals and that concerns me. Hopefully the community will set that place straight and take down all those Central American flags (if you live in Ridge you know what I'm talking about).
The Panamoka section is by far the nicest though, nice small homes and lots of trees. Very cozy. Also lots of great nature trails all around and the private lake which is also beautiful. Despite not having a downtown it does have a real sense of community to it. I sure hope it can weather the changes occuring on LI. Down by Taco Bell isnt as nice, I think there's some low income apts there off Smith Road. There's always a crowd getting on the S58 bus over there.
That deli is owned by Turks that are related or at least buddies with the gas station guys across the street. When they first opened they had the Turkish flag flying, now they've switched to central American flags and they have a small sign with a lunch special in Spanish. They also have a sign that says "funeral directors lunch special" LOL they are in a unique location, 25 is truly a main road out here, tons of people (including Hispanic people-illegals or not) take it to get to work in the morning and 90% of the funeral processions going to & from Calverton view it as the only place to get a bit to eat. I personally was only in that deli twice when we first bought our house, I know if they relied on business from my neighborhood they'd be dead already. The LPCA did complain about their signage at one point and the issues were resolved.
Agreed there is a low-income pocket off Smith Road, the Ridge Civic Association as well as the association in the specific neighborhood are really working to clean that up. I've been here for 5 years and I have not been affected by that neighborhood in any way.
