Welcome. Edgartown News was born from the simple fact that I have ink and Dektol in my veins and I need to write and photograph more than I need air or food, and from my love for this little town where I grew up and raised my family, the town I have left a few times but can't quite shake for good. Here you will find the wanderings and musings, photographs and commentary; the people, places, and happenings - past and present - of a small island town: my home town.

Independence Day 2020

Happy Fourth of July, everyone! Edgartown is doing its best, though, admittedly, it's not quite the same. We'll just call it a sabbatical, take a deep breath and regroup next year . The weather's not that great, anyway. Meantime, here are a few vignettes from around town. [updated to say the weather broke into a crystal clear late afternoon and evening after all]

This is the only parade we're gonna get this year - Edgartown selectmen Mike Donaroma, Margaret Serpa, and Art Smadbeck stepped off from the school at 7am sharp, making the loop down Main Street, out to the Harborview and back again, in honor and memory of Ted Morgan. All they needed was Chief McNamee with his bagpipes (but they told me they did sing a song when they got to the Harborview).

No porch music today but we'll be back, bigger and better than ever, next year.
