Massapequa Memories

(Texas)

I graduated from Alfred G. Berner in Massapequa in 1975!!! Moved away from Long Island to another state and married.

I am happy where I live now...well..I guess so.

It's been over 20 years or so, but I will never forget Massapequa. I try to visit when I can and catch up with some old friends and family.

I will always be proud of Massapequa and miss it very much (but don't miss the snow).

I miss Jones Beach, parks, etc....
I miss the food, All American hamburgers, the local pizza and Chinese restaurants, the ice cream shop on Broadway near the train tracks...

I catch up with old friends and family, and one thing is for sure: my Long Island accent will always stay with me. And I am proud of it because where I live now, everyone knows I am from up north...

Hey... Even Massapequa has a lot of famous men and women, like Steve Guttenberg and Jerry Seinfeld... So that is something to talk about around the water cooler here where I live.

I would of never guess that 20 years or so I was gonna leave, but I have made a new home. But Massapequa is my number one home.

So if anyone is from class of 1975 and you are still living either on your old street or still in Massapequa some where...Good for you. Just keep protecting our beautiful town.

I'll see ya soon...

I Do Agree about All American as beening the Best and it is still the Best around Town in Massapequa.As I Graduated from Berner High School in 1987,so in about the 20 years from the Time I Graduated until now that I still Live In Massapequa and Yes at The same House & on the same Block,I have noticed a big change in Massapequa and I'm afraid not for Best,The change I have noticed most is Nobody cares about nothing in Masspequa,The Neirbors are not nice and The Business Owners in Massapequa are nasty.I also notice alot of Drugs like Cocaine and Herorine have Plegde Our Town.People are running around like Loones also and some are loosing Their Minds too.So when You here things about Massapequa thats Bad happening in it, its very True.The way Massapequa was Years ago is not The Massapequa of Today,so You People that broke the Chains and are finally Free from This Town called "MASSAPEQUA" You are The Lucky Ones, and as far as missing anything Good happening in it, You are missing anything...

I also left Massapequa 30 yrs ago, now living in a warm climate all year long...which i can not complain...but of course i miss long island...
The food, neighborhood, friends, family,
but i have moved almost 1300 miles away and i guess i call this home.
I do try and visit Massapequa when possible.
and i try to keep up with the news of my old stompling grounds.
and yes i still do have the accent and am proud of it...i get asked still to this day where i am from..and i answer with a smile...
Massapequa has become a famous town...and the Texans here are jealous they do not get snow..
which i really do not miss the cold weather..

All American is still standing! The ice cream shop on Central Avenue is Krisch's and it's still there. I was as just there a few weeks ago and the burgers and ice cream are still just as good as I rememeber 20 years ago when I graduated from Massapequa. A G Berner HS is now a A G Berner Junior high school!!!!

BTW, do you remember who you had for Biology? My dad used to teach there.
