Culture Club: Dances in Mitchell Park, Greenport
There’s something magical about an outdoor summer concert in Greenport. Maybe it’s being cooled off by a summer breeze when your feet can’t stop moving to the beat, or the feeling of just sitting on a blanket, taking in the tune and seeing the sun set in the distance. Maybe it’s that communal spirit of friends and neighbors coming together to enjoy a good show. One thing is certain — if it’s a Monday night in Mitchell Park, it’s going to be special.
Serving Up: The Lime in the Coconut at Lenny & Joe’s Fish Tale
For more than 45 years, Lenny & Joe’s Fish Tale has been a shoreline staple, renowned for its commitment to fresh, high-quality seafood. Founded in 1979 by Lenny and Joe Goldberg, the journey began with a small seasonal “drive-in shack” in Madison, offering fresh seafood at four picnic tables. Two years later, the brothers’ passion for great food led them to open a full-service, year-round family restaurant in Clinton. Then, in 1986, the Goldbergs settled at their current location on Boston Post Road in Westbrook, continuing their dedication started at the Clinton and Madison locations. “At Lenny & Joe’s, friendly and prompt service complements the exceptional food,” said Manager Roger Voitans. “But the dedication to quality extends beyond the kitchen. Our cozy, full-service bar uses only top-shelf spirits, expertly mixed by experienced bartenders that have been with the Tale for decades.”

Haddam Garden Club: Feeling the Heat
(July 2, 2024) — This summer, so far, has been characterized by record-breaking heat and close-to-record-breaking rainfall. Hurricane Beryl, strengthened by warm oceans, was the earliest-ever Category 4 hurricane, now up to Category 5. Closer to home, suffocatingly hot afternoons give way to nights filled with thunderstorms and cloudbursts, and in the morning I can almost see steam rising from the sodden earth. Occasionally, as today, the air clears, the sky cools, and there is some welcome respite for a few days, until the heat returns. But what does it all mean for the plants?
