When did the village of Westbury become "high crime"? Since you listed New Cassel separately, I have to assume you are talking about the village and not the zip-code. Even New Cassel is not high crime. Its FBI crime rating is 2 out of 10, where 1 is the lowest level possible and 3 is the national average. This list needs serious corrections.
so the thread starter is just now realizing that there might be some "not so nice people" in places like CI, Wyandanch, and Brentwood? makes you wonder....lol.
No, there were winners at every stop.
Except for Pinelawn...they were nice and quiet.
It was pretty much equal opportunity loser-dumb.
Im sure its better during the week.
The ride in was an eye opener. The further west we traveled, my oldest noticed that more of the trackside advertisements were in Spanish. People getting on the train were surlier, uncooth, and potty-mouthed. I witnessed people dropping garbage, men staring down other men -- almost like they were challenging one another to fight. This was on the ride in during daylight hours.
The ride home wasn't any better.
Are you sure you didn't mean the other way around? The communities the Main Line/Ronkonkoma trains run through in Nassau are, in general, MUCH nicer than those traversed through Suffolk....
Not sure what's wrong with advertisements in Spanish either, but I don't recall ever seeing any of those in Garden City, Bethpage, Floral Park, Carle Place, etc.

I agree Sean Sean.
You get some shady in Hicksville and Farmingdale but its nothing like Mid Suffolk.

SeanX4 - we started in Ronkonkoma and headed west into NYC. CI, Brentwood, Wyandanch are all west of Ronkonkoma. I should have indicated that my observations were of the Suffolk portion.
As for ads solely en Espanol, (sorry forget how to summon up the tilda on my keyboard) as a person whose family immigrated to the USA from Spain, and came here from Puerto Rico, I take offense at the laziness of the individuals who would prefer not to assimilate like my family did, and I take issue with companies which would enable this behavior. But that's an argument for the Politics and Controversy board.
Have you even been to these towns? Not even comparable to Hempstead & Wyandanch!!
Hempstead & Wyandanch are towns that you cannot walk thru day or nite.
Hempstead is walkable daytime. Wyandanch...mostly no. Don't even like driving through there day or night. But Hempstead is fine in daylight hours.
FYI: Skel is a term normally associated and in reference to us white folk
