Not only did I become a country music fan as a result, but I would often imagine that I was driving through the very country Waylon, Willie, the Bellamy's, etc. were singing about (mentally tuning out the sight of multiple mansions, of course). I went to school at the nearby New York Institute of Technology. The campus there seemed literally cut right out of the forest. I recently re-visited those days via (what else) my own blog. There was rumor back then that one of the buildings was truly haunted. An interesting thought for this time of year!! Great Picture, By the way! I always loved this pond. Everytime I drive past it makes me feel young(er) again!<BR/><BR/>Morty!Mortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780718889571159408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503546525629295931.post-29276211213713369712008-10-30T22:49:00.000-04:002008-10-30T22:49:00.000-04:00Hey Linda I'm glad you remember this place, gi...Hey Linda I'm glad you remember this place, given its location it seems pretty safe from development!<BR/><BR/>So do I Bobbie, life is too short not to take time to stop and smell the roses.<BR/><BR/>Hi Luv, thanks!

Thank You!<BR/><BR/>At one time, I lived in Suffolk and worked in Nassau and often, when traffic was what it was, took this shortcut. <BR/><BR/>It is a wonderful spot hidden in the midst.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
