Diversity on Martha’s Vineyard
May 21 2011
A while back I wrote a post ( Sept 17, 2010) that alluded to the diversity of the Vineyard. Today I’m inspired to elaborate on that idea as I consider all that the island has to offer. Diversity is a buzzword people like to throw around, referring mostly to people who look or behave differently [...]
Edgartown Residence Club – what is it?
Feb 25 2011
After reading Rick’s post last month I thought I would take a little time to introduce you further to the Edgartown Residence Club. Located in what some of you will remember as the ‘porch wing’ of the Colonial Inn, Edgartown Residence Club is available for purchase as a fractional ownership. “What the heck is fractional owership?” [...]
The Perfect Martha’s Vineyard Vacation
Jan 30 2011
This blog is sponsored by the Colonial Inn in Edgartown. And all of the contributors are employees thereof. Except me. Since I’m a non-employee, I can tell the truth and they can’t touch me! I can blow the lid off the whole operation! Tell all! Full disclosure! Expose all the dirty little secrets! Name names! Blow [...]
Martha’s Vineyard’s Winter Music Scene
Jan 15 2011
“What do you do here in the winter?” – It’s a question that almost every year-round resident has been asked by a wide eyed tourist in the height of August business. The answer on the tip of the tongue for me is, “Enjoy the peace and quiet” but that’s not to say that there is [...]
A Memorable New Year on Martha’s Vineyard
Jan 6 2011
At the beginning of every month, I set about writing a post for this blog. I don’t get paid – it’s truly a labor of love. There are plenty of wonderful things about Martha’s Vineyard, so there is no shortage of topics to write about. Still, I often find myself conflicted about what my subject [...]
The years pass on Martha’s Vineyard
Nov 9 2010
I had to do some soul searching this month. Martha’s Vineyard seemed to be over-run with people who I haven’t seen in 6+ years – it gave me pause as I realized that, while they are all living in different cities, doing different jobs and living very different lives than they were when I last [...]
Ferry ‘cross the Vineyard Sound
May 16 2010
Probably one of the least romanticized aspects of Martha’s Vineyard is the Steamship Authority‘s ferry service. It’s old. It’s stodgy. It’s even smelly on occasion. People may make disparaging comments about the boats or the service or the crowds, but I’ll have none of it. Think of me what you will, but I like the ferry. [...]
Meet our neighbors – Bluefish Coastal Boutique
Feb 22 2010
We’ve talked before about what a great community we are part of here on Martha’s Vineyard, so it’s time for you to get to know our neighbors. If you are not familiar with our location here at the Colonial Inn, we are right smack dab in the thick of downtown Edgartown. Now, don’t panic if you [...]
Edgartown Harbor seasons
Jan 31 2010
As Lane touched on in our last post, Martha’s Vineyard is a very different place in winter than the beloved Island that most of you see only in it’s glorious summer colors. This morning, I walked up to the top of the Edgartown Residence Club wing of the building, as I do most days, and took [...]
Christmas in Edgartown
Dec 4 2009
It is the Holiday Season again, and with Thanksgiving behind us, the next big event on Martha’s Vineyard is “Christmas in Edgartown”. Let me say up front that I am…less than enthusiastic, shall we say…of the Christmas season. I have an incredible dislike of commercial jingles, (did they start in mid-October this year? Curses…), smarmy [...]
