Due to the weird school district zoning we were in Levittown UFSD #5; we were a lot closer to Plainedge, but went to MacArthur, 3 miles away. I look forward to seeing the book and the photos of Seaford. I saw some of the photos taken at Huntington Town House (possibly on another blog). Those made me laugh because I went to Bar Mitzvahs there twice. I was the only goy! It sounds as if we had somewhat similar attitudes. I hated living out there and left the second I could. I always considered it a barren wasteland.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18026568422208565428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-43865964057898467842016-01-09T11:42:50.317-05:002016-01-09T11:42:50.317-05:00Thank you David George.

I grew up in Seaford and had girlfriends in Massapequa, so I am very familiar with the area. There were definitely definitely two types of kids: those who wouldn't dream of hopping on the LIRR and those (like me) who took every possible opportunity to cut school, take the Babylon line to Penn Station and wander around downtown. I never had birthday parties with kids from my block. I always wanted my parents to take me into <i>The City</i>. instead. I look forward to buying this book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18026568422208565428noreply@blogger.com
