Garden City remains a beautiful town, bordered by the lovely town of Hempstead, where folks from Garden City used to go shopping through the 1970s.
'Borg, do you recognize that house pictured at the linked article?

Let's not forget Garden City Long Island founded in the 1800s by ole Alex Stewart... The "inner city" neighborhood I grew up in in the 1950s was built as a suburb in the 1880s when "street cars" first came along providing transportation back and fourth (the 4 miles or so) to the center of the city where the factories and other places of employment were. It had been farmland before that. Those homes had something almost unheard in the 1880s --- indoor plumbing!
