I never knew the story behind the sudden name change from Jamaica Avenue to Jericho Turnpike. Never made sense to me.
Because Hillside Avenue remains the same until it’s deep in Nassau county. Just like Merrick Blvd becomes a road once you cross over Hook Creek Blvd and travels deep into Suffolk County.
I agree, a lot of the NIMBYism is cloaked in racism. Which is one of the reasons I mentioned eminent domain. How many times have we heard it being used in our communities to build or expand, like Seneca Village.
There's two things going on. When it goes from Queens to Nassau the name changes. But Bellerose is in Queens and they wanted to change the name to look like they're Long Island.
