    Great pictures and stories Howard. I used to live in East Meadow and never knew the history of that area.
  Thanks again for bringing your Black Beast to Riverhead for the Cruise to Orient Point.

Hope you’re having a good time. I could’nt make it,too much to do here. Good luck until I see you on Tuesday night.

I believe the pic of the hangars from the LIMP may be looking west being that the hangars were located on the north side of the LIMP.  Note the slanted roof line at the rear of both bldgs.

I recall being fascinated with the house in 1963 when I began at the 8th Precinct.  The house was at the station house exit driveway.  We had a Patrolman Lou Mauriello at the time (from Bethpage).  Any relation?  He was also related to the fighter, Tami Mauriello, who fought Joe Louis.

it never fails to amaze me that the streets spanned by the bridges were not paved.

Sorry i missed this one, im there a lot passing thru that way , and the cemetery in the first map is directly against the road, as it is today (although high up on the hillside) , in the survey of 1910 it looks like they wanted to use some cemetery land for an entrance, but maybe they were not allowed to do so.

1928, Deer Park Ave and the Motor Pkwy, Dix Hills, Suffolk County. The Deer Park Ave parkway bridge seen here, was taken down in ‘47. This bridge was the most easterly bridge built for the Motor Pkwy. Candlewood Path running parallel to the LIMP (east of Deer Park Ave) served as the entrance to the Motor Pkwy when the proposed Deer Park Lodge (to the west) never established. The proposed Deer Park Lodge lot and property lines can be seen in its entirety. It was one of the houses that Jack never built.

I believe the photo shows a view looking north with Deer Park Avenue running down the center; not sure about the year but I think it’s around 1928. The noteworthy structure could be the LIMP bridge over Deer Park Avenue which was subsequently removed after the LIMP was taken over by Suffolk County making the intersection in need of traffic control devices. The unusual feature(s) could be entrances to the parkway just west of Deer Park Avenue even though there is no toll lodge present. There also appears to be one or two entrances to the parkway just east of Deer Park Avenue connecting it with Candlewood Path.
