Bellmore is a decent size town with about 37,000
people and is roughly 30 miles east of New York City. It is divided into South Bellmore (those who live south of Merrick Road) and North Belmore (those who live north of Merrick Road).
We are an upper-middle class town with the average household income at around $115,000. That being said, there are
people whose
parents make a lot more (ranging from $150,000-$450,000) and generally live in South Bellmore and those who make less ($70,000-$100,000) and for the most part live in North Bellmore.
A
good amount of
people in our town tend to flaunt whatever money they have, but that is not to say everyone is like that. There are people in both North and South Bellmore like this. There is also some
weird "competition" between North and South Bellmore's children with who is tougher and who has more money, however this "competition" is forgotten after the age of 16.
Most of the kids are spoiled in both towns and have extreme attitude/ego problems. These most likely dissipate after college except for the kids who stay on Long Island.
99% of the residents smoke weed,
parents included. If the
parents don't, then they enjoy their alcohol a little too much. It's fine, though, because they all take their work seriously.
Overall, Bellmore is a good place to live and an okay place to raise a
family. It's extremely safe, but your children will act ridiculous for a long while, if they grow up here.

Wow! was I that bad when I was that age? Fuckin' Bellmore" (smiles endearingly)
