irishlad Posted August 11, 2010 Share #26 Posted August 11, 2010 I was born and raised in Cork City in the south of Ireland. When i was 26 I got a visa to come to the US. I lived in Queens for 11 years and in 2006 I move to LI. When i travel to Queens it feels like i'm going home. Like most people I have a love hate relationship with NY. This morning I took the LIRR to Jamaica but I took the subway from there in to Penn. It's like two different worlds. I love the subway, when the doors slide open at the next stop you never know who or what is coming through the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgedPolaris Posted August 12, 2010 Share #30 Posted August 12, 2010 Technically born out near Port Jefferson in '86 but I really didn't live there long. All the time my family spend out in Suffolk county, I was too young to remember. All my fam. used to live either in Brooklyn or out on LI but a lot have moved over to more spacious areas in Northern NJ. My immediate family relocated to kind of the border between Valley Stream and Lynbrook (south of Sunrise) and it was/still is a decent place to live, but it's pretty boring. Then I took a big risky decision and moved down to the St. Petersburg area of Florida with my father. Cool for a little while, but I got homesick damn quickly. He loves it down there though, met a new wife and settled down in a sweet house. The heat just gets to me, plus that area lacks something intangible. Just very slow & laid back. I've always had ties to areas like Greenpoint and LIC and most of my friends live around there at this point, so I'm always thinking about moving out there - but the recession has been a royal b**ch and until I start bringin' home that dough again, I'm gonna stay out here with the fam. hope that wasn't painfully boring. heh.
