No More ABA, But We Can Still Drive the Lane

by on 11 March 2008 4:13 pm

Two pillars of Long Island life in the 1970s were the ABA’s New York Nets and our very own Dairy Barn. Once in a while, they came together for a late-night quart of milk. The ABA is history and the Nets are elsewhere, but you can still drive through 48 Dairy Barns on our otherwise uncivilized island.

    Dairy Barn – Long Island's own.
    And I don't understand why. The drive-through convenience store is a fabulous thing, especially when you have toddlers who tend to fall asleep in carseats. I would have killed to get a Dairy Barn in NJ when my kids were little – why haven't they expanded?
