I too reared in Hempstead with summer visits to south and family migrated to Hempstead 1940s and returned South Carolina 1970s. What is really interesting is how many came from the same area of SC. What area did you visit in SC. My family was from Aiken, Saluda and Edgefield area.

I also like the daily blogging. I am waiting for you to move to LA and then give us a report on LA vs. the Northeast vs. the South in ten years from now... ;o) p.s. I don't believe that living one town south of Long Beach qualifies me to any claims whatsoever about anything. And I think of LB as the town of Ikey Owens and Dennis Owens more than the town of Snoop Dog. I like the 'mish-mosh' of stuff! I also like the daily blogging.

Public Enemy is from Hempstead (my hometown) and Roosevelt if I'm not mistaken. Leaders of the New School and Busta Rhymes are from Uniondale (and went to my high school). Rakim is from Wyandanch. De La Soul is from Amityville. EPMD is from Brentwood. And yes, Keith "Most Beautifulest Thing" Murray. Yup :-) . Public Enemy is from Hempstead (my hometown) and Roosevelt if I'm not mistaken.
