Garden City vs Hempstead

Garden City, a blue-chip school district that had only nine black students,
spent $13,150 per student in 1997. Right across the community line in
Hempstead, where the district taught 4,311 black students but only 46
whites, per-pupil spending reached only $11,590. Seventy-six percent of
Garden City High School seniors received Regents diplomas that year: only 6
percent of Hempstead seniors did.

Americana at Manhasset

Americana at Manhasset (nice mall) explained.

The center’s customer has an average household income of $155,000,
and a median home value of $1.25 million.

The center is located along a 1,469-foot stretch at 2110
Northern Boulevard, by the intersection of Searingtown
Road in monied Manhasset. Shoppers come primarily from
several other wealthy Long Island towns, such as Great Neck,
Sands Point, Roslyn, Brookville and Locust Valley, though
the Americana Manhasset draws as far west as Manhattan,
east to Oyster Bay in Nassau County, and north to south, from
the Long Island Sound to Garden City.
