A town on the North Shore of Long Island. Home to a lot of antique stores, a town dock, an annual Harborfest, bandshell etc. Seems very quaint, though really quite boring. Probably the most ethnically and financially of the surrounding towns, (Manhasset, Roslyn, Great Neck), which is not saying much. The last stop on the Port Washington - Penn Station LIRR, so you may have been here if you were drunk at 2 o'clock in the morning and fell asleep. Very good school district, though the budget was voted down this year due to an increasing amount of seniors. Though not the most interesting place on earth, it's not a terrible place to live since there are 2 movie theaters, some coffee shops, a couple of thrift stores, a library with a really nice cd collection, a new record store, and it's about a 45 minute train ride to manhatten without having to transfer at Jamacia.
Person 1: I'm from Port Washington.

Person 2: Oh, I ended up there once when I was drunk and fell asleep on the train.

Person 1: Yeah, a lot of people do.

Port Washington is a small town 30 miles north of Milwaukee with close to 11,000 people. Its full of people that think they're more important than they really are, making news on cnn for stupid enough issues as hazing, and a controversial gay survey. Kids are stupid, adults go crazy over everything, but occasionally you'll find someone pretty cool. Downtown has a curse where small businesses shut down every year, and are replaced by another which will just get shut down again. The cops are the biggest assholes you'll find in Wisconsin, and its against the city ordinance for anything to be open 24 hours. Since theres nothing to do after 9:00, kids resort to mischief and drugs. Then the parents bitch about it.
I live in Port Washington, and I really wish there was a 24 hour gas station here.

Port Washington is a town in northern Long Island. The middle school pretty much sucks, and most of the staff voted to kick out the Principal.. but no luck yet. We have kool yaht clubs, and we all know Main St. rocks. It takes us about 45 minutes to get to a decent mall.. and we wish they would just build one here! The rich kids live in Sands Point, and everyone else lives elsewhere.

Thats pretty much it. COME TO PORT WASHINGTON!
i love all my port people!!!

A wealthy city located north of Milwaukee. The people that live there act that they live in the Hamptons, when in reality the city is just a fishing harbor with the history based off selling fish. The school district prides itself in being in the top percentile in the state and country, yet it seems more kids drop out than graduate. Overall, its a typical North Shore suburb.

A part of Long Island sorta close to NYC. Train station is central for anyone drunk bar-goers and some other questionable people.It's whatever, people say it's a shit hole but it's average. Elementary schools are nice, the middle school is trash, high school is the best out of them all. All the rich people like in Sand Points, people like some executive or creator of Arizona, Johnny Winter, Adam Sandler, (oof) Chris Rock, and probably some other people. Manorhaven is a fucking trainwreck because of the fact it's the country's most densely populated village. If you're going to Main Street near Weber GOD FORBID you go at 3-4 on a Friday. Your car with be swallowed by pre-pubscent children watching David Dobrik and Shane Dawson. All I have to say about Port, *mostly Manorhaven* Godspeed.
yo Port Washington is trash
no
yo Port Washington's middle school is bad
