Our Little Town
|
A
Photographic Tour
of Present Day |
|
 |
|
For those of us who no longer live nearby and
were wondering how much our little town on Long Island,
Oceanside,
New York, has changed in
the 40+ years since we were graduated from OHS (and how much of it's
still the same), I prepared the following photographic tour. Most
of these photos were taken on October 28, and some on November 28,
2001, but a few were taken earlier, for example, during our 40-year
reunion weekend in July 2000.

Since
most of the photos below were taken, the Great Lincoln Shopping Center has been
renovated, decorative lampposts have been installed along part of Long
Beach Road, and several other beautification projects have been
undertaken in
our little town, the most dramatic of which, of course, is the 25-foot
Liberty Lighthouse constructed on the town triangle in 2006.

view the display in the
Community National Bank on the site of Chwatzky's
Department Store facing the triangle that has been credited since it was
erected in December 2007 to our class
association.
So
take this little trip, with me and your other classmates, to our home
town.
(This is a "slide"
presentation. Wait
for the images to load and cycle slowly.
Best seen in "Full
Screen" view.) |
