I've seen a bunch of people on here posting that their from LI. There are a ton of pro's and cons' about it but I confess to loving it. I'm out East, but work in the city, and had a real nice apartment at a decent price in Manhattan and gave it up to move back out here. Changed everything to pass up a ten minute walk to work to driving an hour and 15 minutes average each way. I know it sounds crazy. I've always been a person cool with the city but LI is the place for me. I actually missed LI more living in Manhattan than while I was away at school. Just interested in finding out who else is from the Isle and what you think the pro's and con's are.

Pros-girls are absolutely beautiful here and more down to earth than in NYC (personal observation not meant to ruffle feather.)
-its nice to have a summer bbq, go to the beach, have a backyard that your dog can run around in, etc
-its cheaper than NYC all around, but you can have a nicer place, and go out to places almost on the same scale as NYC
Cons.-you have to drive everywhere. For me, if I go to the gym, 20minutes, movie 20 minutes, etc etc etc
-traffic-Holy SNAP!!!! ARGH!!!
-taxes are very high
-can't always find a hot place to go out on an off night or that pizza you might crave at 2am.

What else??????
(OH yeah, the ISLANDERS, cause we all know the **** RANGERS eat it!!!)
