this is really right on the cusp of the population explosion. In 1950, the population of Islip Town, a roughly 100 sq mi municipality on the south shore of central LI, was approx. 70,000. In 1970, it was 270,000. ridiculous rate of growth, and pretty much exclusively, unfortunately, detached single-family homes.

Save the Goondocks
Civil engineers left a map to buried treasure along a major avenue. Who knows what kind of rich stuff lies beneath all that tar and stone? Just to be sure, I kept my eye open for booty traps.
