Can we really take control of our own energy on Martha’s Vineyard?  The answer is yes, according to Vineyard Power, the Island’s energy co-operative.  It’s their mission to be our utility company, producing electricity from local, renewable resources, while advocating for and keeping the benefits within our community...

With the nights a little cooler and the wait for restaurants a little shorter, it’s time to go out and spend some time with friends.  I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things to do is to grab sushi at the Lookout. For years, that has been a favorite spot of mine during the Summer and Fall months.  And while I...

I know it’s hard to believe, but Summer 2012 is almost over, and there are so many things left on my bucket list!  Why do June, July, and August go by so quickly?

There was a cute little red sign tucked in the corner of the back of the building th...

So, I’ve been to Hooked for its opening party.  I have gone there for drinks with friends and loved it, but was yet to have dinner there.  That’s kind of sad, especially for me, since it’s been open since May, and I’ve been hearing great things about it.
