We were quite delighted to get the photo to the right (click to enlarge) from a great guy named Harry Perrone. Harry was a frequent guest at Vineyard Square Hotel & Suites years back in the mid-80s when the hotel was called the Colonial Inn.MV 1987 - 2014 b

Harry then stopped visiting Martha’s Vineyard for awhile (28 years to be exact!), but decided to visit again this summer. And – he brought the same t-shirt he was wearing in 1987.  “I love staying there. It’s in a great location with obvious beautiful views.  And I love Chesca’s restaurant just below.  I will try to stay again before the season ends and will return next summer as well,” he says.

Harry says he got the idea to do the “now and then” photo when he found the t-shirt in an old dresser (scheduled to go Good Will soon!) in the basement of his Mom’s house. He brought it to the island and the rest is history.

“As you can see, not much has changed over the years on Martha’s Vineyard except the railing (and my  gut!),” he says.

Thank you for staying again, Harry, and for your sense of humor. We look forward to your next visit.

Here at the Square, we’re getting pretty excited about October. Not only because it’s a lovely Fall month on New England’s most awesome island. Not only because we’re ready for the ghoulish happenings of Halloween.

It’s because this year’s month-long Fall for the Arts celebration looks like a series of super-fun events!

Events kick off on September 28 and run through October 30, and include favorites like the Living Local Harvest Festival (September 29), the Art of Chocolate Festival (Oct 10-14), Vineyard Artisans Festivals in October and November, plus a series of gallery openings, gallery strolls, readings, speakers, exhibitions and more.

The island also is welcoming a couple fabulous NEW events, like the Creative Economy Speaker Series every Tuesday, and the Local Wild Food Challenge, (October 8), which is essentially a throw down to professional and amateur chefs, hunters and fisherman alike. Think you can whip up a stunning dish with wild ingredients? Click here to read about the events and click here to pre-register by email.

Keep checking our Facebook page as we profile each event as it approaches.
