I loooove LI! I was born and raised and lived there until Aug 2019. I can't wait to go back home, I'll definitely try to visit these interesting places .
During the summer I am planning to record at least 3 more locations on Long Island so I hope I will provide more ideas for your visit back home😊
@NYTrek85 sounds great! I hope I get home soon , it's been 5 years this August . I've missed being there every single day.
I heard you say in this video that you made a video of Caumsett , I love Caumsett. I used to go there all the time, and I swam in the water too. I miss swimming in the LI Sound. Duke was the name of the manager there, he was the sweetest man, he always calledcme Pretty Lady...sadly he died in 2007. I liked Target Reserve, I think that's its name, it's down the road from Caumsett.
If you're Catholic, out in Manorville there is the Lady of the Island Shrine, if you never went there it's lovely and peaceful, it has the depiction of the 12 Stations of the Cross, it has 2 small chapels, a gift shop and a little place that sells food and beverages, there's an outdoor area with tables you can sit at, it's lovely there, especially when the trees are flowering. There's an outdoor area with a modern looking statue of the Blessed Mother and benches are there.
Thank you for sharing this information. I love people's personal stories and memories as not only is it interesting but also better shapes my knowledge and connection to all these locations...I did Caumsett State Park in one of my earlier videos when I was still learning how to edit and navigate this youtube world, therefore at some point I will probably return to the area to do more walking and filming. And in Manorville I know exactly the location you mentioned, it is beautiful and I certainly will do a video in Manorville at one point or another 😊
Yes, that was the walled garden. I walk through there a lot.
Are there any pictures of these buildings from the original estate?
Yes, there are pictures in numerous locations, for example there are few in the Library of Congress Digital Collections. There are some organizations with photos in their archives like: Preservation Long Island - who have a digital collection where some mansions can be seen, as well as numerous photographs in private archives. There are also some books like: Long Island's Gold Coast by Paul J. Mateyunas. Although on this channel I am limited to showing images that are free from copyright laws. 😊
Pompeii has graffiti too.
Everything is temporary 🤷🏼♀️
I know I’m old but I don’t get the whole graffiti thing
I know that in the 80s and 90s (at least) it was done for a variety of reason like self-expression, a form of rebellion against society and norm, as well as recognition by others doing similar things, however I believe there are many things those doing it do not take into consideration and I will address this in a future video at some point 😊
