A good friend and her husband live in Amityville. if this guy had made a move on him he would have had a bullet in his belly. He’s a retired NYC detective and he carries.
Agree with your description of the town. There’s some real wealth there but most of it is a ghetto. I worked there in the 60’s and it wasn’t much different then.
Lived in Lindenhurst in 79 on a canal. Kept my boat there The Germans kept it halfway decent.
