final proposal

Cabs are pulling up one after another and tons of people pile out and slowly the line begins to grow. People continue to pile out of cab after cab as slowly the people in the front of the line are let in. On...

-Beach…growing up on Long Island I couldn’t imagine living anywhere that I couldn’t easily get to a beach. The beach is a major part of my summer, I go there as often as possible with my friends. I also try to go there on days in the fall and winter when its not too cold just to be there and enjoy it. -NYC…another benefit of living on Long Island is that I am never more...
