I moved here 7 years ago from Oceanside. I miss Long Island not in the least. As a matter of fact, after going back for a visit, I couldn't wait to get back to Waxhaw. No snow, lower real estate taxes, lots and lots of new construction. What's not to like about NC?

I found the same thing when I went back. Nassau County is becoming just an extension of Queens.
Things I miss about New York: Italian bakeries, markets, and the ocean. That's it.
The *only* reason I see myself going back there is to visit Family & Friends.
Well said. I miss my parents since they were going to move, then decided to stay. Found good pizza and good bagels. But I have not found a good bakery for pastry type items, and I would kill for some good rolls.
thanks everyone.im coming down to visit friends who haved lived there for 7 years.will be looking at some homes.i live in massapequa .my dam taxes are 17000 a year.so it's time to take a look.friends have been raving about the area for years.so time to look.
Other than my parents I am not gonna miss anything from that island !!!! It is financially ruining families left and right!!! Every moving company we got estimates from said they are doing 2-3 jobs a week moving people off the island .We on our way !!!! We are moving from Nesconset to Matthews !!!!We will be there the end of this month!!! I am not gonna miss the taxes and high cost of living one bit !!!! The wife just paid the last LIPA Bill and last Petro bill !!!!! TALK ABOUT NOT CORRUPTION !!! From what we heard people miss the pizza and bagels but you know what we found a few good places !!! No more 2 to 3 hours drive home in traffic !!!!
And there are plenty of drag race tracks around !!! I am not gonna miss paying 2 tolls and sitting in traffic for hours to go race !!!
good luck.i hear you about the cost of living.i am excited and nervous.but looking forward to the visit.
