Long Island. You’ve got to know, if you live in Connecticut, you look down on Long Island (as well as New Jersey!) Long Island makes no sense, to get anywhere you first have to drive through New York City. But despite the denigration of Long Island when I was alive, when the aerial shots of the homes came on screen…I swooned. Not exactly, but suburbs are suburbs, and those on Long Island were some of the first.
