Martha’s Vineyard. Tomorrow, we hear from the man that started it all. Stay tuned. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

More parking for Oak Bluffs?
Oak Bluffs is eyeing an opportunity to create more parking for the downtown area, and a half-acre lot on Uncus Ave may be the spot. After reviewing some pricey options proposed by Boston engineers, the Oak Bluffs
select board wants more answers regarding the project. If successful, it may lead to over 30 parking spots being added in the town. Read more here.

Housing construction begins It’s been a long time coming, but construction for the 40-unit Meshacket Commons has begun. The affordable housing project is the largest taken on by Island Housing Trust, although the construction start date was delayed by nearly a year due to a lengthy fundraising effort. You’ll likely see where the construction is taking place if you drive by Meshacket Road. Read more here.

Quote of the Day
"It’s difficult to fill almost any position on the Island."
— Brian Smith, chair of the Oak Bluffs personnel board on regionalizing public safety departments Hot Topic Comment
"Love to see this! Nice work Heath! I love how vibrant the colors are with the sealer. Now I want one. Just in case anyone out there doesn’t know: If you are not Wampanoag, do not harvest the clay! Do not touch, do not climb, do not disturb the clay."
— Aretha Taylor comments on our story about working clay from the sacred Gay Head Cliffs Hot Topic Letter "I have had numerous opportunities to observe Thomas Moakley in action in the Edgartown courthouse, and his intellect, strong work ethic, and capacity to reach equitable compromises have set a very high bar. With all of that in mind, I have every confidence that he will be an exemplary successor to our outgoing state representative, Dylan Fernandes."
— George Davis endorses Thomas Moakley for state rep.
