Who's Who (or Was)
This is yet another (20 Jul 00) page to cover additional information and photographs
of this interesting old highway; see also my Automotive,
Chrysler, Dudgeon (really!),
Mercedes, and SS and JAGUAR
car pages and other related pages.
A Motor Parkway Panel has been convened to keep the
LIMP alive in situ, in minds, and in museums.
There is also a lot of automotive material on my ORDNANCE
and HISTORY pages.
Also, if you like automotive history, see the links on the
Automotive page.
RoW = Right-of-Way.
I have been accused of being some kind of nut for having such an intense interest in
an old highway that closed in 1938! The original western temrinus was at the
Queens (NYC)-Nassau county line, later moved westward to Rocky Hill Road
(today's Springfield Boulevard at that point), and then into Flushing at Horace Harding
Boulevard and 195th Street. Four blocks of Rocky Hill Road survive in Bayside
by that name and what should I accidentally discover on that ancient street but
Community Service Board #11 of the New York State Office of Mental
Retardation and Developmental Services at 203-06 Rocky Hill Road,
Bayside, New York!
In addition, one Gregory Perrotta, d.b.a. Lexington Capital Corp. at 203-20 Rocky
Hill Road, Bayside, New York, applied to engage in the business of a Mortgage
Broker in 1999.
Additional personal apocrypha, both of the host and of other persons, concerning the
Long Island Motor Parkway will follow here, shortly.
10 Apr 01 - Unfortunately, the elderly gentleman whose material was to appear here
balked, and left me without the reminiscences I had hoped to share.
Well, not quite an empty page; Motor Parkway apocrypha hath it that there may be
paving and posts hidden away in the weeds here and there. We now know
that some artifacts remain between Stewart Avenue and the Meadowbrook Parkway,
as I suspected.

Panel Friend Art Kleiner poked around in the wooded area on the south side of
Salisbury Park Drive in Levittown in mid-Nov 2003 and turned up this chunk of
pavement and some broken posts:
