Welcome to my Blog!

Even though I have lived in the Massapequa area for a little over a year, I still feel like a newcomer. I was working insane hours in corporate accounting and only saw my neighborhood on weekends. Walking from the house to the car and driving to the train station before anyone is awake and returning home when everyone is ready for bed does not count as seeing the neighborhood.

Now that I have more time on my hands, I want to see more. I want to walk around the neighborhood and in the Massapequa Preserve for exercise. I want to drive to stores that are not a walking distance from the train station. I want to stop shopping in my old neighborhood and try out some of the local stores. I want to experience and enjoy what my taxes are funding.

We live in an area less than an hour’s train ride to New York City and minutes away from Jones Beach but we also have our own local gems. Join me this summer as I discover them.
