Thousands welcome troops home in Garden City

I was incorrect when I posted that, "Located at 605 Stewart Avenue, the Marine Reserve Training Center is in East Garden City ("Garden City, NY 11530" mailing address)." 605 Stewart Avenue IS in the Village of Garden City. My only excuse, and it's a lame one at that, is that I used MapsOnUs.com, and it, apparently, guessed (interpolated) at the location of 605 Stewart Avenue (as does MapQuest.com). I should have double-checked with the Census Bureau's address search function (you may need to copy and paste in sections in order to get this extended URL into a browser): http://factfinder. census.gov/servlet /AGSGeoAddressServ let?_lang=en&_ programYear=50 &_treeId=420 Among other things, the Census Bureau's address search function indicates in which community (city, village or CDP) and school district an address is located.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Barnum Island in the Town of Hempstead is bordered on the north by Simonson Channel and the Hamlet of Oceanside; on the east by the East Channel; on the south by Reynolds Channel; and, on the west by the Village of Island Park. For a map of the Hamlet of Barnum Island: http://upload.wiki media.org/wikipedi a/en/a/ae/Barnum-i sland-ny-map.gif Barnum Island is one of those many villages and hamlets on Long Island where none of the places in the community have the hamlet name in their mailing address: places in the Hamlet of Barnum Island have an "Island Park, NY 11558" mailing address.
