Valley Stream People

On my way to work, I noticed that Phil & Amy's flower shop on Rockaway Avenue closed up and they moved to DogWood Avenue in Franklin Square.

I cannot believe that the shop moved, they have been there for 60 years.

I used to live in Valley Stream (went to junior high and high school there). I can't think of where this florist was on Rockaway. Closer to Merrick or closer to Sunrise?

Closer to merrick road. If you were coming from lynbrook....you would make a left turn from merrick road, and the florist was on the right hand side next to the barber.

Where did you goto HighSchool?

I went to Central.

Maybe you know either of the Karpowitz boys (Derek or Damian) they lived on my block and they were older than me.

Re: Valley Stream People

Who DID you know Scott??

Re: Valley Stream People

I know plenty of people...I guess it depends on where you lived....I have friends that live off Mill road, and I knew people that lived in the area behind green acres mall, near forest road school, and I knew people all the way down rockaway avenue and closer to my parents house.....

I probably didnt know people that you knew unless they had a younger brother or sister.

Re: Valley Stream People

Oh ok...I lived behind Mill Pond (on Mill Rd by the old Steve's Pizzeria) on that short little block with like 4 houses on it (Fairfield St which was off Rockaway)
