...which will be very different this year.

Piseano's Pizza - out of business

The Chequit Hotel - sold at auction, not open this summer

Sunset Beach - closed

Shelter Island Fireworks - cancelled

Sep's Farmstand - closed

Bob's Fishmarket and Seafood Restaurant - for sale, closed

The Ram's Head Inn - for sale (but open)

The Pharmacy, Kyle's, The Islander, Commander Cody's - Takeout only, limited hours, but somewhat slowly returning to normal...

It seems Councilperson Gym Colligan's wish has come true - tourism is effectively dying away on Shelter Island. Now all the multimillionaire retirees and coastal elites can have their very own private island. Thanks Gym!

Draconian Short Term Rentals laws that violate your constitutional rights still in place? Of course! In fact, Shelter Island's fascist town board wants to use over 20k more of your tax dollars to police STRs even further with more precision, 24/7. Fed up with the blind arrogance of our government who cannot understand or refuse to understand how islanders live? Write them and tell them so: townboard@shelterislandtown.us

Have you contributed some cash to our second lawsuit in play? We won't give up this cause - join us and send your donation (anonymous if you wish - privacy protected) via VENMO to: mdarcambal@darcambal.com

Wishing you a safe and healthy May, and the patience to endure a Town Board who doesn't care about you or your property rights - but who sure loves your hard earned tax dollars.
