I also grew up on Long Island, and your fine pics definitely were nostalgic for me.
What part?
I grew up in Hauppauge out in Suffolk County...
Massapequa Park in Nassau County
My ex-wife had family there. They were mob-connected. When her uncle died the FBI showed up to the wake.
True story...
Ah yes, Massapequa, home of Seinfeld and several crooked Italians (I have some mob relatives as well). Due to the considerable Jewish and Italian population, we used to call it "Matzoh Pizza"!
