Thank you for your response. I know the villiage is on Long Island.
Kind of tough to explain but the point of my question is not whether
the village is on Long Island or not.
>>554
Thank you.
>>552 is a question asked in another thread. When I forwarded the question here, I didn't know that
the phrase are from the NY Times article. Later, someone in the thread googled the phrase and
found out where the phrase is originally from.
"Word had already spread across this sleepy bayside hamlet far out on Long Island that the strange, shaggy genius fancied himself a sailor and had rented a summer cottage overlooking Cutchogue Harbor."

"Hamlet" is used instead of "village" in the article.
Anyway, what I want to clarify is the nuance of "far out" in the phrase.
Some people in the thread say, Point A, in this case, the village on Long Island is far away from
point B on Long Island. (Both Point A and B are on the Long Island)
