Sunday

It has lovely beaches and the public golf is exceptional and generally inexpensive.

But that’s it.

The traffic is horrible all the time even late at night. The trains are expensive and crowded during rush hours. Taxes are exceedingly high. Schools are a mixed bag.

It was a happy day when I moved back to NYC.

Meanwhile, I stand with the workers. LIRR management sucks.
