  • When you see these from the Long Island Expressway, you know you're very close to New York City. When I was a kid, I used to think that when you saw them, you were IN New York City.
  • Me too, Dan.....but of course since they're in Queens they ARE technically in NYC!
  • The towers can be seen from miles away.
  • Exactly, john. You see, getcrunk, I know that they're in New York City, but I've always been able to see them from east of New Hyde Park Road(Exit 34). The thing is, I used to think that alone was the defining border between NYC and Nassau County, and it wasn't until around middle childhood that I realized this wasn't the case. Plus, NYSDOT didn't have a border sign on the LIE until the mid-1970's.
