I am driving with my son Hardy on I-95 south, headed for our first college tour. Hardy is 17, a senior in high school.

Although I live off-Island I read the Vineyard Gazette every week and I love.

The planning committee of Disrupt Death Row: Art & Justice wants to extend a very sincere thank you to all of the Island businesses.

Martha’s Vineyard Commission meetings are open to the public, but it does take a certain fortitude to listen for hours.

Kudos to Steve Bernier, owner of Cronig’s market, for caring more about preserving our unique Island community than money.

From the Oct. 23, 1925 edition of the Gazette:

The legislature’s Joint Committee on Housing will convene at 11 a.m. on Tuesday to consider a variety of bills to address housing affordability.
