Long Island has a rich historical past. The Battle of Long Island was the largest battle of the Revolutionary War.  Long Island has many cultural landmarks as well as breathtaking scenery that inspired mega pop star Justin Timberlake to film his video “Not a Bad Thing.”  The video was filmed at various landmarks in Babylon, Freeport, Rockville Centre, Merrick and Wantagh and tells a story of a young couple who met on the LIRR. This isn’t the only time Long Island has been used as backdrops for film and entertainment.  If you’re a fan of Will Smith like I am,you are probably aware…
