You do! I just learned that today! The prof for Glacial Geology used to live on Long Island, and she told us how it actually is a glacial moraine! She had to travel to Iowa for school to figure that out, but still! Very much on the cool scale.

Point is juuuuuust a bit west of a terminal moraine. If you're traveling toward the east the landscape is all flat flat farmers field flat bunch of trees flat flat more trees and a Very Sudden Increase In Elevation And Wheee, I Can See For Miiiiiiiles! Not really, cause there are trees in the way, but! If there were no trees, I betcha I could see for miles.

On the down side there are, like, *no* hills at all in Point itself. It kind of makes watching storms roll in a challenge.

If she passed that information along, I missed it. Her last name is Lemke, but I don't know if that will do you any good since she's married and I don't think she kept her maiden name.

I figured as much, but around here lots of local mom-and-pop type places make use of the owners last names in the store title, so I thought maybe Lemke might be one such name. Or if they're one of those big, well known families whoes names seem to show up everywhere in local add or some such.

However, since I have never been to New York, I don't know how mom-and-pop shop friendly they are, so it's probably more likely they are one of thousands of nameless faces without any notority.

the mom and pop places here don't really use their names. And there are sooooo many that i can only really remember the ones in my area.
