I went over to Stony Brook looking for "new" areas to photograph. There is this cute little shopping center called the "Stony Brook Village."
Stony Brook doesn't have a true village or town center, like some towns on Long Island, but this quaint shopping area has places to eat and stroll.
There are nice shops and people seemed very friendly. They must have wondered why I was taking photographs, especially with a tripod, but they all smiled and said, "Hello!"
Stony Brook is a wonderful area with many assets. The best part of Stony Brook is the University and the cultural events it brings to the community. They have many music programs, plays, art exhibits, and more.
There is always something to see and they even provide classes for non-matriculating adults. The "Roundtable" is mostly classes given for older people who just want to learn. Workshops cover anything from political discussions to crafts to book groups.
The course list is quite long!
The Stony Brook Hospital is a great asset too, since it is "world class" and a teaching hospital. I guess that isn't the main reason to move there but it certainly improves the quality of life.
When I need a doctor or hospital, I go to Stony Brook.
