Nostalgia is bitter sweet by definition and a burden one would just as soon not experience like last week when I found that Mary’s Linen is no more, replaced by a T-shirt shop some other nice ladies have opened in its place.
In the Sept. 21, 2012 column I wrote about a June 1953 article entitled Oak Bluffs Was Definitely an Island Once by Joseph Chase Allen.
Unless you were around when Ogkeshkuppe was the name the original people gave Oak Bluffs, it would be too much to ask if you were familiar with Quinni-ummuh Street over in Ooh-quiessa near Asanootucket Pond.
