Got a minute?
Here’s what’s happening on Martha’s Vineyard today.
|
|
|
Today is National Mac n’ Cheese Day and National Nude Day. Pro tip: Lay off the former if you plan to do the latter. And we remind you that if you have to come to Vineyard Haven through Friday, there is construction on Water Street that is causing traffic delays.
Plan accordingly. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

Workforce housing?This story gives new meaning to workforce housing. With the lack of accommodations on the Island, Tisbury select board approved a proposal that would allow up to six employees of WT Rich, the contractor building the Tisbury School, to move into the former Tisbury Waterworks building. The contractor would have to make some changes in order to make it habitable. Reporter Rich Saltzberg has this story.

Go nuts, for doughnuts
It’s been a long time coming, but the so-called "doughnut hole" has been approved by the House. The land swap between Oak Bluffs and the Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank will ultimately create a prime spot for affordable housing. Reporter Abigail Rosen has this story. Meanwhile, the Housing Bank Review Committee held its second meeting and began the process of listening to possible amendments to the legislation. Abigail also has that update.

Feeding frenzyThe long-anticipated food truck public hearing took place on Wednesday in West Tisbury. And while the issue has been kicked around for a couple of
months, there really wasn’t a lot of public input at the hearing. One interesting perspective, however, was from Daniel Sauer of 7a Foods, who has concerns that a proliferation of food trucks will cut into people buying the Liz Lemon. Reporter Eunki Seonwoo has this story.

Today: There’s a new Outdoor Market at the P.A. Club. I went last week and I was so impressed. By chocolate. Find Rebecca Clark and her artisanal chocolates — they look like big, polished marbles and they taste like heaven. And then stop by Linda Hammond’s booth and say hello. She has some really cool maps that make a great keepsake. 4 to 7 pm. –Connie Berry
The M.V. Hebrew Center hosts the Summer Institute with Dr. Ronald Peterson speaking on "How Much Forgetfulness is Too Much? Alzheimer’s Disease 2022." This is something we could all learn more about. 7:30 pm. –C.B.

Market share
If you live in Aquinnah and need a loaf of bread or some other convenience item, you typically had to go either to Chilmark Store (in season) or Alley’s in West Tisbury. But now residents and season visitors have a store of their own at the Aquinnah Cliffs. The Gay Head Store recently opened and is carrying a variety of general store items that’s become a welcome addition to the Island’s most remote town. Reporter Eunki Seonwoo spoke to the owners about their plans to try and keep the store open year-round.
