SOUTH BAY SALES : They had a branch store at one time in Mastic Beach, but this is their main store window in Center Moriches. We got our first TV a 17" B&W Halicrafters Console from them

THE KIDDY RIDES: Located on the western outskirts of town on Johns Neck Road almost into Shirley was this small field with two little rides. It filled in nicely between visits from the carnivals.

When the real carnival hit town and set up along side of Pat & Mikes Texaco, The entire Cohen family was ready as were so many others. That's Fern holding the Dalmatian.

THE LAGOON: Notice the pagodas on both ends. The one on the left was placed on Beach 10

at the end of Jefferson and the one on the right down the road a bit onto Beach 1

SAL & TESS AZZATO opened their new Sal's Place on Neighborhood Road in 1939. Their first one

which was originally Paul Schulte's Mastic Beach Hotel, burned down in 1938.

This one still stands as THE SAND BAR, a name it has carried for over 40 years. It's across the road

from the Woodhull Cemetery
