A Long Island Parkway
Long Island Parkway - Northern State. This view is before the lights were moved to the sides. Since that change more plantings have been added and in a "curbs and curves" project the road improved and made safer. The parkways are actually prettier now, especially in the spring and fall, although rarely this empty.
