Westbury Drive-In and other memories
Carol DiNatale Spent many a weekend night here with family, later with friends.
Joseph Esposito Enjoyed sneakin in.
Paulette DiNatale I can still hear the gravel sounds. Me in my PJ's playing on the rides up front under the screen. The smell of popcorn...french fries...and hot dogs. Daddy would put the blanket on the front hood of our station wagon sometimes... and we would lay on our tummies and watch cartoons. Then when the mosquitoes would come out...we would climb into the back seat...and I would fall asleep. A age of innocence.
Claudia Farina Davis Wow I remember those days they were the good old times things sure stent the way they were back then wish we could turn back the hands of time when things were more family oriented life was calm we went to sleep with our front doors open
Dina Marie Jeremy DeLape Best burgers (back in the day)!!
Brian Drier i remember a birthday party i had: wetson's drive-through and "planet of the apes" at the drive-in (westbury?)... ah, yes indeed, those were the days!
Manny Casamassima oh man
Steve Wagner the best burgers on old country road
Denise Flynn Stubberfield 15 cents oh my goodness, remember it well.
Nancy Nemeth Caracciolo America on Wheels
Robert Casale I remember going almost every Friday night. I had my own skates and became a pretty good roller skater over the years. Met some interesting people and one special girl, Andrea Wulcox who lived, I believe, in Franklin Square . Our parents shared taking us there. Remember Jahns next door. We would pool our money and head there for some of the best tasting ice cream.
Ernie Constantine thanks for posting that, Carl. Years ago they had a Levitt Ranch exhibit at the Stony Brook museum. I could have sworn I was in my parents house ! Even had the avocado color living room !
Mary Armstrong Ernie, I went there...It was great...There is also a mini exhibit at Levittown Memorial High School ...You can google it I think, it was wonderful..
Manny Casamassima yepper
Lynne Lombardi There are many errors in the Wikipedia article. Flat out - no mention of the Levitt homes in Hicksville . I seem to recall that they were originally less than $7,100 based on conversations with my parents. Also, I am not so sure that they were designedManny Casamassima they were built because of the gi bill and there were a lot also in HicksvilleCarol DiNatale 1950's home costs were almost $1000 cheaper.Ernie Constantine thought my folks paid $6999
Carol DiNatale The price for 1950 was like $7900...This was a posted ad, so I'm sure the price was probably negotiable. And it probably varied.
Ernie Constantine they moved in June 1950. House on top left was their model
Carol DiNatale We never got an actual Levitt home. We lived off OCR on Lee Place . I liked Levitt homes and all my friends had one.
Ernie Constantine Carol, I think you are correct...I must be getting old.
