Hey Miller Place-Rocky Point, Do You Remember...?

Facebook group has exploded with tons of nostalgic Long Island memories.

A Facebook group called "Hey Long Island... Do U Remember....?" has popped up and is filling up with tons of questions from people all over the Island recalling memories of trends, stores, hangouts, foods and more from the past.

People from the Miller Place-Rocky Point area have also taken to the group to rekindle memories of days past from the area. One of the more popular items in the area has been the old Rocky Point Drive-In.

"Great childhood memories of that place," Marianne Page-Lombardi said of the Drive-In Movie Theatre. "Had the best playground, concession stand and watching the movie from the car while listening through those little static speakers you had to park next to and pull through the driver's window."

Peter Rausch said, "The Son's of Italy in Rocky Point - first venue for an Orange Sunshine gig."

Many have also discussed the old Miller Place Deck Hockey rink, Savino's Restaurant (just past the Mt. Sinai border) and Rubino's Pizza in Sound Beach, which moved accros the street and then closed. now holds the original probably, while is in the newer building just across from the Sound Beach Fire Department.

What do you remember from the Miller Place-Rocky Point days of yore?

Bravo MP Majority, very well said.Teachers are the most protected job on the planet. Now if theyRead More could only earn that money by producing results in the classrooms like they used to. But I also blame the absent NO vote. They need to be sent a message-we need a majority no vote but that will never happen. Glad I am out of here in 2 years. Can't imagine trying to live here and pay these taxes on social security and my 401K that tanked in 2008 while I was making up the teachers loss on their pension and paying my health insurance & theirs at the same time. So boo hoo teachers you have to spend money on the kids while I spend money on you.

Spoken like a true teacher. Did you know that the average school teacher is only paying 15% of theRead More actual cost of health care premiums for themselves and their families, when Medical healthcare insurance premiums are rising at an alarming 17% per annum? Do you realize that teachers are paid an additional stipend if they work more than 3 consecutive periods in a day? Are you aware that teacher pensions were protected during the stock market crash of 2008, when the average person's 401K was totally at risk? Perhaps if teachers realized how good they have it - look at the BIG picture and outside of their bubble - then they would complain less. Oh and yes, we need our loftily-paid Administrators to kick in some of the salaries, to help pay for stuff. Hard to believe the school districts' mantras that "it's all for the kids".
