Here’s what’s happening on Martha’s Vineyard today.

On this day in 1940, two brothers would open up a drive-in restaurant in California that would eventually turn into the giant fast food chain McDonald’s. The
Island isn’t quite so keen on having chain businesses setting up shop, but we bet you know a couple of local joints to hop on over to for a juicy burger. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

South Beach restored, but different A slew of devastating winter storms left South Beach in shambles. The large sand dunes were leveled, part of Atlantic Drive collapsed, and the Donnelly Camp structure was unsalvageable. After months of dredging, planting, and restructuring, restoration is done for the summer season, but what beachgoers knew as South Beach now looks very different. Read more here.

Google conundrum
You may have already noticed, but MV Times isn’t listed as being on Beach Road anymore on Google Maps. That goes for some other businesses in Tisbury as well. The tech giant’s mishap has turned Beach Road in Vineyard
Haven and Oak Bluffs into Anchor Way. Just in time for the summer to begin rolling in. Read more here.

Quote of the Day
“He wasn’t just a person who thought about starting a business organization. It was more like he was building a family and keeping people together and helping the whole community to stay together and to support each other [...] We (the Island community) weren’t ready to let him go. […] It’ll be nice to see that plaque on the wall.”
— Renee Balter, on friend and colleague Dennis daRosa and his memorial ceremony later this month
Hot Topic Comment “PETA’s agendas are all radical and often hypocritical. It is awful to start a campaign to destroy the livelihoods of hundreds of fishermen while supporting shark conservation, specifically great whites, which kill far more whale calves than modern fishing gear, and shameful for the Steamship to display this propaganda.”
— Scott Terry, responding to a PETA ad placed by the Steamship AuthorityHot Topic Letter “Every animal is someone. All living beings should be treasured, not trapped. Be kind, go
vegan, and save the planet.”
— Scott Miller of the PETA Foundation, responding to backlash at a PETA ad at the Steamship Authority

Preserving the power of flowers
Flowers are more than a pretty plant — they are an integral part of the human experience, when it comes to expressing emotions like love, sympathy, and gratitude. However, florists and environmentalists warn us that if we want to keep our precious flowers, we must do what we can to
protect them. Read about what you can do here.
