Lawrence Idea

I grew up all my life in a town located just 10 minutes from JFK called Lawrence. The Village of Lawrence is a town with a lot of history and property tax which is sky high. Just outside my home is where you can find your activity.

The Lawrence country club provides you with a full 18 hole golf coarse and several tennis courts in which you can enjoy being youself at. Membership available for purchase to any member of the community.

If your looking for a place to blaze with minimal police activity, heres your place. If your driving in one direction and see a police car heading the opposite direction, you can probably kill 9 people rob a bank and still have no problem with the police. I know first hand because at any hour of the day im probably cruising around town hitting an L bc y not! Got pulled over once for a running stop sign, thats it. Probably going to hire a hitman for the officer anyways(clearly kidding-or am i?) but have to be in court september 22nd.

Alot of rich Jewish families have homes in this neighborhood. I myself am Jewish and Attended a Jewish Private school one town over in Cedarhurst all of my life called HAFTR(Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway). Sickest school, didnt do shit. Tuition being $20,000 a year, i dont give a shitttttt, never went to class. The teachers are retarded and you basically can do whatever you can imagine. In our school hockey is a tradition and we are ussually known to be the best. I played hockey all 4 years of high school and left with two championships. One in 10th and once again as a senior and the kids 1 year younger than me are going for 4 years in a row.




















If you think being high has any effect on your performance you are wrong. In fact I may have showed up stoned to every single game. I started a game(against the worst team) drunk and high and I managed to score a goal in 6 seconds, outstanding right?? My grade was all about the FRANKS(which we say is all the "good times") Therefore making fun of the janitors for stealing all our shit.. thats a FRANK. Going to school for two weeks straight with a mustache also a FRANK, except no girl want to talk to you.

Aside from my personal "schooling" experience Lawrence is one of the finest well known neighborhoods there is. Most homes have there own acres of land. Driveways that deserve there own zip code and of coarse just nearby is the Marina where you can take out your boat or jetskis.
Town, "central avenue" has basically anything you need from food to home entertainment and clothing. If you make a right turn out of my block and continue on a 5 minute driving journey you can find yourself at anything you need. Rockaway Turnpike has just about everything, like a mall, dunkin donuts, costco, 7 11, wendies, t-bell, mcdonalds, office max, hollywood video,gas stations, tabacco road, famous sherwood diner, batting cages, starbucks and anything else you may need.

The Lawrence Cedarhurst Volunteer fire department has a long history behind it. Until the 1970's, there was little need for a fire fighting company in Lawrence. Poor roads hindered vehicles, and since the homes were so far apart, there was little fear that a fire in one house would spread to another. With the completion of the Long Island Railroad to Far Rockaway and the resultant population and building expansion, homes were built closer to one another and the fire hazard soon became a concern to the community.


In the late 1870s, some neighbors got together and provided buckets in convienant places for a fire emergency. However one cold night in 1882, when the church bells sounded the fire alarm, no one responded to the call and several buildings were gutted. Shortly thereafter, a group assembled to form the Washington avenue Hook and Ladder Company #1. In July, 1883, a fire truck fitted with hooks, ladders, and buckets was purchased for $415. After the years and more fires emerged it called for better equipment and progress. They aquired a new horse-drawn steam pumper and 1,000 feet of hose, and new property bought for $1,200. Soon took the sanction of both villages of Lawrence and Cedarhurst. Stores had been planned on the side of the building to bring in profit. By 1915 the fire department started changing to motorized vehicles. And of coarse finds itself as a great fire company with all of the top equipment needed in this modern world today.
