Check, I'm sure the HoJo is now a diner or something similar. The last time I flew out of MacArthur was about a year ago, and as I came out of the airport I know I checked out that corner and muttered something about really missing the HoJo ice cream (and the weekly all-you-can eat fried-clam specials, too).
Pidget, tell MrsP that I sure do remember: ShoeKingSam, Friendly Frost, ChowChowCup, Matinecock Dairy Farm, Davega's, OC Road as 2 lanes (what a mess while they were expanding it!!), Hempstead Speedway, Lollipop Farm, and Dix Hills as rural (great place to sled!). But please tell her that Dairy Barn is still around!
Rachael84, I used to go to Ben Franklin Stores too!
Ouch, let's not allow a really enjoyable thread to accidentally morph into anything else (I've seen that happen a few times here ) ...
So, moving right along....
....Someone else mentioned the arena in Commack, but does anyone remember the ice hockey team that used to play there? The Long Island Ducks. Minor-league but incredible fun to watch (this was long before the NY Islanders came into existence).
Remember "The Battle of the Bands"?
And when one of the deadliest insults we kids could throw at each other was "You fink!!!!"
I went to several Long Island Duck games. Damn, I must be old.

"Someone to the electrical counter to make keys" .... I hated making f***ing keys. And whose bright idea was it to combine the electrical department and making keys?
I used to work at Pergaments and Channel Home Centers.
I used to frequent Malibu's and Chevy's. And there was a place I went to in my early twenties, in Dix Hills... Club Voodoo. (Scorpion Bar, the Pot Bus, etc, etc.) Anyone remember Corniche by the lake (Ronkonkoma)?
Anyone used to listen to WLIR (WDRE) ?
What's the name of that bar/club in Huntington? (You know the one, LOL) Probably long gone.
I remember Chevy's...with the actual car parts all around the bar!
I listened to WLIR. What was the name of the place (I think it was in Farmingdale). It played LIR music 1 or 2 nights and regular dance music the rest of the week. I can't for the life of me remember the name!
