The stead is my heart, made me who I am, but I had toget out.Too expensive,no "real" jobs(except Verizon), and nothing to do,except for the Taste of Honey strip bar(and evn that fell off when the owner "TJ"died)This was once a great town, nakisaki resteraunt, A&S dept stores,Afro American museum(still there,but nothing in it),and I don't blame the Latinos or the corrupt government, Hempstead to me now is a 1/2 backward run down ghost town,The best thing I COULD'VE EVR DONE WAS LEAVE.Now the wanna bee's are Crips and Bloods, ms13, or swp. no future, no nightlife, Hempstead is a dead end, so are Roosevelt &Freetoo. I thank god I moved to Brooklyn, I love it.
