I am really enjoying everyone else's memories. So many of the shopping centers mentioned, especially in Massapequa Park, weren't there yet.

We moved away in the summer of 1955 to North Babylon. I lived on the corner of Boston Ave & Franklin Ave. I remember Clegg's Supermarket in Massapequa & Dubrow's Ice cream shop on Central Avenue, I believe. But by Sophomore year the new Amityville Memorial High School had been built on Montauk Highway(Merrick Road). Freshman year at Amityville was on part-time and was in two buildings next to each other. Most of us stayed with Amityville HS, because if we went to Berner we would have to start all over as Freshman. Alfred Berner high School didn't open until the following year. I graduated in June 1951 and went on to Amityville High School. Then in 1950 they opened the Parkside Elementary School and I had Mrs. I was 11 in 6th Grade with Miss Young at Massapequa Avenue Elementary School. When my folks moved to Massapequa in March 1949, Massapequa didn't have a high school. Most of the comments I'm reading all seem to come from folks that graduated from Massapequa High School. Massapequa Memories from a Senior citizen. So if anyone is from class of 1975 and you are still living either on your old street or still in Massapequa some where.Good for you. I would of never guess that 20 years or so I was gonna leave, but I have made a new home.

So that is something to talk about around the water cooler here where I live. Even Massapequa has a lot of famous men and women, like Steve Guttenberg and Jerry Seinfeld. And I am proud of it because where I live now, everyone knows I am from up north. I catch up with old friends and family, and one thing is for sure: my Long Island accent will always stay with me. I miss the food, All American hamburgers, the local pizza and Chinese restaurants, the ice cream shop on Broadway near the train tracks.

I will always be proud of Massapequa and miss it very much (but don't miss the snow). I try to visit when I can and catch up with some old friends and family. It's been over 20 years or so, but I will never forget Massapequa. Berner in Massapequa in 1975!!! Moved away from Long Island to another state and married.
