In the blog LilyPondLane.com.com, S.K. writes about Bridgehampton’s most dangerous intersections/roads (link). Having driven on and through all of them many times, I can tell you she’s not kidding. These roads are dangerous.
Don’t count on the traffic engineers to fix the problems, though. Keep in mind that it was County Legislator Jay Schneiderman who came up with …

As noted here: link, I said I would have more to say about the proposed GEIS for the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike at the entrnace to Sag Harbor. Well, I’m finally getting around to saying it.
If you’re not already aware of it, let me mention here that several Sag Harbor-based groups have formed a coalition to lobby the Southampton Town …

Here’s one of the reasons why I can’t seriously consider leaving Sag Hampton.Today, I walked the two longish blocks along Main Street from the John Jermain Library to Schiavoni’s Market, and back. On that walk, I was greeted, by name, by three people I knew, and one whom I couldn’t place, but who obviously knew me. Later in the …
Generally, I consider myself a person with strong opinions, strongly held. Yet recently I found myself expressing my ambivalence about the possible effects of a GEIS on local businesses. I thought I had got all of that wishy-washiness out of my system, but as soon as I started to think about the new coffee shop that opened on the site of the former Harbor Deli here in Sag Hampton, ambivalence reared its ugly head once again…
Apparently the Hampton Jitney has received $82,908.00 from the Department of Homeland Security. I feel safer already. Read what Blake Fleetwood has to say about this silliness in the Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/blake-fleetwood/hamptons-to-osama-bring-_b_23586.html
In Technopolitix, a blog written by Saghamptonite SuperWeiss, an intense discussion on immigration ensued after the author posted a brief story about some semi-hi-tech sneakers made for border crossers. You can check it out here: Technopolitix:
Brincos, shoes with a message
I’ve stuck in my two cents in at the end.
I attended a meeting recently where a group of concerned citizens was discussing whether to advocate for a Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) for the area around the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike from its intersection with Scuttlehole Road to the traffic signal at Jermain Avenue.

I believe we are witnessing the birth of a new religion: Jermainism. A key belief of this budding religion is building worship. Over the past three years, I’ve heard various members of this Sag Harbor-based cult wax rhapsodic about the glories of the building that currently houses the public library here in Sag Harbor. (Full disclosure: I’m an employee of …
