I am thinking about moving to New York area. Is Shirley, NY (Long Island) considered a good place to live? -

Shirley, Long Island is a pretty good hike from the city, if that matters.About an hour on the Long Island Expressway (Distress-way as its called locally).It s in Suffolk County (one of 2 counties on Long Island). Shirley is on the south shore.In general the further North the more desireable (Hamptons being an exception)It s not a community most middle class people looking to move to Suffolk aspire to.It is however a working class community in a mostly suburban/rural setting.It could charitably be described as affordable .

I ve lived in New York since I was five.Long Island is a very nice area, I love it. :)Not as busy as the city is. Kind of quiet.

Shirley is a dump.

Whats in Times Square? -

I am doing a project where I have to build Times Square. What are the major buildings and stuff like that there?I need the most important things Thanks :)

If you go to Google Earth, you can see street-level pics of places all over the country. I imagine that would include Times Square.

Times Square is the only neighborhood with zoning ordinances requiring building owners to display illuminated signs.NOTABLE LANDMARKS:TKTS booth Coca-Cola sign Budweiser Times Square Studios (home of ABC s Good Morning America) One Astor Plaza (home of MTV s New York studios) Chevrolet clock (an analog clock displayed on a digital screen) Virgin Megastores (closed and will be replaced with Forever 21) The Hard Rock Cafe New York Planet HollywoodCORPORATE PRESENCE:Olive Garden Red Lobster Bertelsmann Six Flags Inc.
