What's up at WLIW21
Share Your Stories, Photos & Home Movies
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

In the tradition of WLIW21’s award-winning New York The Way it Was series, we’re getting ready to explore the story of one of Long Island’s most interesting communities – Huntington. Following the tremendous success of New York War Stories, which featured viewer-contributed videos and letters, WLIW21’s production team turns to viewers like you once again for stories, photos and home movies of family celebrations, sporting events, carnivals, parades and other Huntington activities. If you lived in Huntington Village, Cold Spring Harbor, Huntington Station, Northport, Greenlawn, Dix Hills and Lloyd Neck between 1950 and 1990, please share with us your memories of the places and people that will always remind you of your hometown, Huntington. Our cameras can capture Huntington today; we need your help to tell the story of yesterday.

Send your photos or movies (any format) to:
Stephanie Marsh
WLIW21
P.O. Box 21
Plainview, NY 11803
Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if you want your submission returned.

All photo submissions will also be considered for the film’s DVD cover.

Email your stories of life in Huntington as you knew it to Hometown@wliw.org.

Call 516.367.2100 x8461 with any questions.

I was born in Huntington Hospital in 1941 and grew up in Greenlawn. It was very rural and I spent much of my time wandering through the woods behind our house. We had to be bussed to Huntington for high school, because there wasn’t one in Greenlawn. I remember drinking beer in Finnegan’s, and sodas from a hang-out place on New York Avenue (name eludes me), and clothes shopping in the big town of Huntington. I didn’t get to stay after school for extra-curricular activities because my mother worked and I had no way to get home.
