Long Island has really changed since I grew up there.

I’m very familiar with Roslyn as my husband grew up in Port Washington. Boy, has that town changed. It feels like mini Tijuana.

Yep, when we moved back to Nassau from Forest Hills a decade or so ago we looked at Roslyn, Port Washington, Manhasset and Great Neck. The girls were reaching HS age and we were focused on the schools.

Roslyn had too many urban types and the trouble that goes with that. PW had the same but the added attraction of all the Central Americans living downtown. Manhasset had the Pond Hill projects. All Great Neck had was uber-rich Jewish kids with attitude.

We chose Great Neck.
