West Tisbury, Massachusetts on the island of Martha's Vineyard
FOR MORE INFORMATION: - Time slips away easily in West Tisbury. The clock in the church tower is hand-wound, and strikes the hour by day and night. Music Street, in the heart of the village, got its name from the sound of the pianos brought back by the whaling captains and heard through open windows 150 years ago. The tiny police station by the Mill Pond is just as described in the mystery books of 13th generation town resident Cynthia Riggs. Across the street, an old country store, long since closed, collapses in on itself. In the town cemetery, visitors leave small toy birds on the grave of 19th century poet Nancy Luce, who kept chickens as household pets.
You can definitely get away from it all in West Tisbury, Martha's Vineyard's traditional farming community. The porch at Alley's General Store, in the heart of the village, is the place to watch the day go by. Pick up a copy of the Broadside, for one thin dime, and find out what the locals are talking about the single sheet, front-and-back paper is a distinctive blend of news and speculation, and is put out by a West Tisbury couple who seem to know and hear everything.

199 State Road in Chilmark ~ Martha's Vineyard
A diamond in the rough in Chilmark, ready for your polish and perfection, this elegant waterfront home on 3.5 acres is truly an outstanding offering, having been owned by the same family for over 60 years. With private waterfront on Quitsa Pond and incredible, panoramic views to Menemsha Pond, the Sound, Elizabeth Islands and Menemsha Harbor, this is a dramatic retreat, ideally situated for sunsets and recreation on the water. Originally built in 1950, the existing 4 bedroom home is a beautiful, classic design, thoughtfully laid out with all attention paid to the outstanding water views found in nearly every room. The grounds are spacious and relaxing, with ample lawns sprawling around the home and down toward the waterfront, and an ancient stone wall provides a rustic aesthetic along State Road. An update or modernization of the house could create a refined Chilmark destination, while the opportunity to rebuild could allow for larger home, with pool or tennis as possibilities in the future. The location is just 0.5 miles from Squibnocket Beach and 2 miles to the Chilmark Store and Beetlebung corner, putting all of Chilmark’s best amenities readily within your grasp.
USA: PRESIDENT CLINTON & FAMILY MARTHA'S VINEYARD VACATION
English/Nat
President Clinton celebrates his 52nd birthday on Wednesday but the event looks set to be a subdued affair in the wake of his speech to the nation about Monica Lewinsky.
Clinton will mark his birthday on Martha's Vineyard - he and his wife and daughter will spend 12 days on the island trying to reclaim a private life made uncomfortably public.
Arriving in Edgartown on the Massachusetts' island on Tuesday, they were greeted by singer Carly Simon and presidential confidante Vernon Jordan.
It's the fourth time the Clintons have come to the exclusive resort but they're .
And the president is guaranteed a warm welcome, despite admitting he lied about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
Flying away for a well-timed vacation.
The Clintons arrived in the exclusive resort of Martha's Vineyard to a warm welcome.
It's their fourth trip to the Vineyard, and this time they even brought the dog.
Buddy was first down the stairs, followed by a relaxed looking Bill Clinton who got a big hug from his old friend Vernon Jordan and the singer Carly Simon.
Jordan, a Washington power broker, is a long-time confidant of the president.
He helped former White House intern Monica Lewinsky in seeking a job and finding a lawyer last December, before her relationship with Clinton became known.
Clinton and Jordan often spend their vacations together.
In almost two weeks away from Washington, aides said the president would forego some of his social calendar and beloved golf to make good on his promise to the nation to move on and get back to work.
The First Family is again staying at Oyster Pond, at the borrowed compound of Boston developer Richard Friedman.
The 1846 homestead on 20 acres of green pastureland sits at the end of a long, sandy driveway, affording the family total privacy.
And they'll need it for the Clintons are the talk of the town.
Richard Boudreaux is setting up his Bill Clinton cutout, using it to lure tourists to his store.
Standing by her man, literally, is Hillary Rodham Clinton - wife, advisor, and defender.
Clinton's prime-time declaration that he had misled people, including even my wife hasn't changed their placement at Boudreaux's store.
They're side by side, the same as last year.
The shop owner says he's disappointed in the president, but forgiving of his actions.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
You've got to appreciate being the president. I know he made a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes. He who is without sin throw the first stone. Right?
SUPER CAPTION: Richard Boudreaux, Shop Owner
Welcome signs decorate windows, in preparation for the first family's arrival even though some make a passing reference to Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr.
But not everyone in the Massachusetts coast community plans to greet Clinton with open arms.
UPSOUND: (English)
Sleaze that he is...
SUPER CAPTION: Dianne Mulroney, tourist
Diane Mulroney's reaction is an example of the paradox of Clinton's popularity.
While calling him a sleaze, she nonetheless takes time out to pose for a photo as if drawn to the charisma of the cutout.
Mulroney says her feeling about the office remain the same, but not her feelings about the man who currently holds it.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Respect for the presidency itself...but I think we've had such a moral decline. We should be able to look up to our president and I don't look up to him anymore.
SUPER CAPTION: Diane Mulroney, Tourist
This year marks the first family's fourth visit to the island off the Cape Cod coast.
With its picturesque harbour, the exclusive community is a world away from the hustle and bustle of Washington.

POTUS at Play
As President Obama catches some R&R on Martha’s Vineyard, a pictorial montage of 20th century presidents at play reveals how some of his predecessors enjoyed their down time. It also provides a glimpse of how presidential sports create images of White House occupants.
Corpulent William Howard Taft’s physique was anything but athletic, but he began a long tradition of White House duffers, most famously Dwight Eisenhower. Even the cardiac-challenged Ike, at that time our oldest incumbent president, could tackle the links without straining his damaged heart. He spent so much time golfing that his successor, JFK, avoided being photographed too frequently on the Hyannis course to diminish comparisons with the grandfatherly Eisenhower. Instead, sailing excursions emphasized Kennedy’s youth and “vigah,” as he said in his distinctive Boston accent. The Kennedy family’s active lifestyle also helped JFK downplay his back ailments and hide various other medical problems from the public. Likewise, photos of FDR’s sailing expeditions, with him at the helm, distracted a pre-television era public from his disability. Ronald Reagan, the oldest American president, sustained his rough-and-ready Hollywood cowboy persona by riding the trails at his California ranch.
Fellow Republican Gerald Ford, a star center on the University of Michigan football team, may have been the most talented athlete to occupy the Oval Office. Yet several well-publicized stumbles led media and comedians to portray him as a klutz. Even schussing down the powder at Vail couldn’t undo Ford’s clumsy image. Angling in a Blue Ridge Mountain stream, dressed in coat and tie, may have been the fashion for Herbert Hoover’s favorite recreation in the early 1930s, but Richard Nixon’s strolling along a California beach in wing-tips four decades later only highlighted his bizarrely formal personality. Similarly, Bill Clinton’s propensity to take mulligans on the golf course seemed to represent his playing fast and loose with the rules of life.
This summer, the JFK Library opened an exhibit featuring photos and artifacts of the Kennedy family’s vacations on Cape Cod. The public never resented the Kennedys’ Hyannis Port compound or the Bushs’ Kennebunkport estate. Paradoxically, Americans claim to want a “common man” to inhabit the White House but are drawn to landed gentry when they vote in presidential elections. The Kennedy Library’s display of the young president and his beguiling children frolicking at the Cape is all the more poignant for knowledge that JFK’s life would soon be cut short by an assassin’s bullet.
How will a future Obama Presidential Library portray the 44th president’s summer breaks on tony Martha’s Vineyard? Will the contrast between his pricey digs there and the post-recession malaise expressed by many Americans in recent polls be too stark? Is the similarity between Bush 43’s continuing his 2005 Texas vacation in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and Obama’s escape to New England as the world erupts in violence too obvious? Let’s hope the president isn’t losing sleep over these questions. His graying hair indicates that he needs all the rest and relaxation he can manage before the next inevitable crisis.
Barbara A. Perry is a Senior Fellow at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center and Co-Chair of the Presidential Oral History Program there.

Welcome to Cuttyhunk Island | Gosnold, MA
I flew my drone at Cuttyhunk Island during the spring of 2014 and captured this footage of the western side of the island.
Cuttyhunk is a peaceful scenic place that has a feel of Martha's Vineyard from 70 years ago. It's almost stuck in time so to speak ... and I hope it stays that way!

Finding Good Crappie Fishing Spots
Jason made a point in the fall and winter to look for new crappie fishing spots with his electronics. He started in some productive arms of the lake and idled along break lines looking for brush piles with fish.
These creek channel edges are often where fishermen like to drop their brush piles. So Jason scanned with Lowrance HDS 3D Structure Scan for likely looking spots and brush piles until he found schools of crappie holding on them.
Once he saw a good school of fish on a brush pile, he stopped and fished it. He would cast a jig over the top, when they quit biting that, he would pitch to the piles from a closer distance, and finally he would get right on top of them and fish vertically on the pile.
He had one of the best fall/winter periods for crappie fishing in recent years by getting out and hunting for fish more with his electronics.

Hampshire Mall - Raw & Real Retail
This is our walkthrough of the Hampshire Mall from January 23, 2019. This is a bittersweet tragic story where by The Pyramid Company finds itself with a dead mall on their hands, so they do what they think they need to do to stay current, they rip out any interesting architectural features and put in a lot of entertainment venues like bowling alleys, laser tag, go carts, etc. The food court was transformed into a sort of New Orleans type town center motif and while some might find this charming, I personally think it looked way better before.
Check out our ongoing series of dead and dying shopping malls!
Songs used in this video (in order):
Syd Dale - Won't You Join The Dance
Syd Dale - Doodle
John A. Coleman - Endeavour Suite
Steve Gray - Wonder Groove
Please do check out this excellent writeup from the Caldor Rainbor blog, it was done pre-renovations and has some excellent pictures of what the mall used to look like:
For brevity, here is the wikipedia article:
Hampshire Mall is a primarily one-story shopping mall with a small second floor in Hadley, Massachusetts, United States, with approximately 55 stores owned by The Pyramid Companies. Current anchor stores include Dick's Sporting Goods, JCPenney, PetSmart and Target. The mall is home to Interskate 91 North, a roller skating rink on the second floor. Attached to the skating rink is LaserBlast: Ancient Adventure (a Lasertag facility that was formerly home to LaserStorm).
When the mall opened in 1978 it was anchored by JCPenney, Steiger's and Kmart.
The Steiger's store was demolished in 1994 for Media Play. The Media Play store opened August 10, 1995. Kmart closed in 2002 because of the chain's bankruptcy. In 2003 the former Kmart space was rebuilt and extended to house a Target store. Originally the mall contained a six screen movie theater that existed from 1978 to 1999. This was then expanded to a 12-screen Cinemark movie theater in 2000.
A 45,000 sq ft Dick's Sporting Goods store opened in early 2005, replacing a former Eastern Mountain Sports. Best Buy and Steve & Barry's replaced Media Play in early 2005. Steve & Barry's filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2008 and subsequently closed their Hampshire Mall store in August 2008 and it replaced by the racetrack.
Walmart developers beginning in 2005 wished to build a new 212,000-square-foot Supercenter southeast of Hampshire Mall. However, there have been various hindrances as a consequence of a bylaw designed to keep out large stores by restricting new stores to 75,000 square feet. After two years of negotiations, on November 20, 2007, a subdivision plan that exempted the planned Walmart Supercenter from the current bylaw restrictions was approved. Developers have eight years to get a site plan approved before the exemption expires. This would almost certainly mean the current store, attached to the east end of Mountain Farms Mall, would close.
In February 2009 Buffalo Wild Wings opened a store between Target and Best Buy. The restaurant got into a dispute with the mall because of an alleged faulty roof that led to a buildup of condensation on the premises. The Pyramid Corporation did not agree to carry out repairs and as a consequence some amount of the rent was withheld. Whether the restaurant never paid any rent or did pay some rent is disputed. The case is currently in litigation. On July 29, 2010 they announced that they lost their lease as of August 1, 2010. The space is now closed. Platterpus Records closed down its store in March 2010. In June 2010 the store reopened in Easthampton, Massachusetts. In August 2015, it was announced that Best Buy would close their doors on October 31 and in 2016, Spirit Halloween opened in the former Best Buy space for 2 months.PetSmart opened in the former Best Buy space in April 2017.

Union Hero - the Letters and Journals of a Civl War Surgeon
This is the fascinating account of the life of Dr. Franklin Dyer, a surgeon in the Union Army who participated in the battles of Antietam, Gettysburg, Spotsylvania and Petersburg among many others. Dr. Dyer served in the Union Army for three years, eventually becoming the Acting Medical Director of the entire Second Corps. He kept copious journals and records throughout his years of Civil War service, describing in great detail his work in field army hospitals and relaying chilling and detailed accounts of the battles of Antietam, Gettysburg and Petersburg. Dr. Dyer served under Generals Grant, McClellan, Howard, Gibbon and Hancock and offers fascinating, sometimes amusing portraits of these famous men while giving us an unflinching glimpse into the life of all Americans, both Union and Confederate, during the war that transformed the United States of America.
This Video is presented by Kelley Library Adult Series and the Salem Historical Society.
The speaker is Dr. Michael Chesson, Founding Dean of The American College of History and Legal Studies in Salem, New Hampshire. Dr. Chesson is a Pulitzer Prize nominated Civil War Historian, and editor of Dr. Franklin Dyer's journals.
