Best time to live on Long Island
I was born in 1941 in Amityville Long Island we didn’t have a car or TV until the 50’s. I Walked, rode my bike or took mass transit to wherever I wanted to go. My friends and I were what today we call free range kids. (Then we were just kids) We explored our world learning about nature and the Great South Bay by ourselves. We played games outside all dy and at night I played games with my older sister making up our own games. We didn’t know how lucky we were growing up on Long Island. The United States came out of World War Two the only industrial nation left not only not damaged but built up military complex so there was plenty of work for out parents. We were also lucky to live so close to New York City where we went the shows and Coney Island.
