I gues all things must change.

They say that the only constant in nature is change. That certainly holds true for East Northport, NY. When I was a young boy (late 1950s, early 1960s), it was a small semi-agricultural community. Not everyone knew each other, but they certainly knew someone YOU knew. It is overpopulated now - mostly with five-hundred-dollar millionaires - and the taxes are very high, but it still has its positives: good schools, educated people, and close proximity to Long Island Sound (the dolphins are back!), the Atlantic Ocean, New York City, and the mountains of Upstate New York.
Here's a clue to the "sociology" of East Northport: my father is a Long Island native. My mother was born and raised in Bryn Mawr, PA. She used to tell us that when she first moved here in 1952 she cried for six months because the people were so rude. I guess things don't change that much after all.
