I’m sorry but here’s another blog about changes in Oak Bluffs. So the word on the street is that there are a lot of things happening, and while I walking though town with my son, I realized that I wanted to start talking about what’s going on now. We’re saying good-bye to some places and hello to new possibilities. Un-Hooked The sa...

For a quarter of a century, Basics Clothing Store has been a staple on Circuit Avenue in Oak Bluffs. Islanders know that they can always go there for clothing needs. As the name implies, Basics, is where you can get necessities. You can get guy’s Levi jeans there, crocs for the whole family, t-shirts, socks, etc. Oh and since it’s ...

On Tuesday afternoon when there was a little tease of spring weather, I decided it would be fun to go to Inkwell Beach to collect shells and enjoy a little time outdoors. When we got there, I was shocked and appalled at the state of the beach. There was tons of this stinky black stuff covering Inkwell Beach and parts of Pay Beach a...

After a year of waiting, it’s finally open, well almost open — Copper Wok, Pan Asian & Sushi House, and it does not disappoint. Copper Wok is visual treat for Islanders. Soon as you walk through the door, the warm wood and colors envelop you like your favorite blanket. It is a beautiful space, and my photos don’t come clos...

This might sound crazy, but I think the best town to grab a bite to eat and make the most of your money this time of year is Edgartown. There’s something fun and frugal happening almost everyday of the week. This is our third Frugal Foodie Guide, and we’re hitting the town, to see what the restaurants in Edgartown ha...

The Samuel Butler House on North Water Street in Edgartown has been named one of the top three best homes for sale with a roof deck in the U.S. by The Week Magazine. Originally built by Edgartown’s first whaling family, the historic captain’s house with its views of Edgartown Harbor, has been transformed into one of the most luxur...

Last week I decided to stop by Mocha Motts in Oak Bluffs for a little refueling, and couldn’t believe what I saw happening right next store at the Lampost. There was a huge portion of it missing. Excited and curious, I asked one of the owners, Janet Dyer Cummings if she’d share what was up. Janet and I met at Mocha Motts to chat, a...

Spring fever has kicked in. It’s school vacation week and it seems as though more than half the Island is someplace warm. However if you staying put, let’s talk about some dining deals because you know you want to be out of the house as much as possible. This is our second Frugal Foodie Guide, and we’re hitting the town, to see wha...

I first met Susan Wilson when we both worked at the Martha’s Vineyard Museum. I liked her immediately. Susan is witty and devoted, and an all around good person who definitely speaks her mind. Little did I know I was in the presence of a New York Times best selling author. I knew Susan wrote, but I didn’t know she had books publish...
