For those of us who grew up on
Long Island, we know it can be a beautiful place full of history - both
personal and societal. We received this slide show of Long Island
from Dotty Dorsa. It is in the WMV format which
should play on most computers. It will take time to load - so be
patient. Take a look - it will bring back memories!
http://www.fromtheflightdeck.com/VideoLIW/nyvideo640.wmv You should be given the option to view or download this movie. We would suggest that you download it - it is faster that way and you can watch it again any time you wish. |
 Something I ran across from 'years ago'! - Just thought you would enjoy! Just a blast from the past! Submitted by Lorraine Cuomo Shibani |

 Marcy, remember when the "Kitchen Sink" at Jahn's cost $6.00 in 1961? I just called the original Jahn's today in Richmond Hill, Queens & asked what it costs now. Are you ready? $48.65 !!!! Russ Mulroy |

Where We Ate Around Levittown:
In the King Kullen shopping center was the Luncheonette (where Barbara & I
hung around - great hamburgers and fountain sodas). Had the Wantagh Diner on
Sunrise Highway & Wantagh Avenue. My son, Bill, loved the photos of Wantagh on
the site, and he remembers as a little boy, the Carvel's as a stand-along
building. We are lucky today some of the grocery stores sell Carvel cakes - but
the store itself didn't make it, the family (youngsters of owners) didn't want
to run it. So we lost it many years ago - folks in the south like Dairy Queen
better than Carvel. What do they know? There was a Italian place on Merrick Road
just past the entrance to Wantagh Causeway (to Jones Beach). It had a Windmill -
good pizza (can't think of it's name) and we also visited the JBH too! If I can
think of anymore, I will let you know. I will keep you posted and have a great
day. Take care and give the little ones a hug & kiss from me. via Email 10/12/06 |

Compare the prices on
these Levittown homes today with the prices on the original homes
that Jerry Murphy sent in.

The Jones Beach tower, now a familiar Jones Beach State
Park landmark, was modeled on the campanile of St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice.
It is 200 feet high, made of brick and stone, and houses a 315,000 gallon water
tank for storage of water from four deep wells, each over 1,000 feet deep.
Here's something for those of you raised
in the
Wantagh section of Levittown, take this link:
