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.

Out from Under Our Rocks

A few lovely days in a row have brought out the local wharf denizens - but no Denny? So good to get out and about again and see a few real humans, along with being able to take in the sky and the water and the fresh air.

Gone...

All's that's left of the Captain DeFrate house today is - literally - a hole in the ground surrounded by rubble. As Smitty commented, "Pretty soon we won't recognize Edgartown." My response? "I just hope mine's not next."
