Why do they put “Long Island” between the city and the state for places on Long Island?

"They" is me. (Or is "They is I," more correct?)

The stuff in brackets in the thread title is my addition. I added what I did so people from other regions would have some clue as to where this event took place. (I find it annoying that this isn't an FR posting requirement for local stories such as this one.)

I know, but I’ve notice dthat even on TV and Radio, whenever a story happens on Long Island, as opposed to, say upstate, they always say “Long Island”, like it’s a separate entity........
