[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 561993, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=2]I grew up on LI, which was called the suburbs of NYC when I was a kid. I moved from there about, wow, almost 20 years ago to northern CT, which reminds me a bit of the ruralness I grew up with on LI as a kid. I do miss the water, however! Very much!
