Here's a thought. Why not utilize the soon to be empty Educomp building which already has off street parking (in VH)?

I do think the triangle is already too busy!! Airport sounds great!!

Is it recreational or medicinal in Mass?

They should come to OB!! We lost our pharmacy, atleast give us a dispensary!!

DANK N' DONUTS

Airport!

If you think the traffic is bad NOW ...

No!!!! Support your local pot dealer!!!!

Because the triangle isn’t busy enough...

Like far out man.

No ,

Next to a donut store - things are about to get wild people

Flavio Nunes Piacheski só para saber mesmo!

Great, a bunch of stoned Democrats. Their left enough now.

Well, it has to go somewhere. What are the projections on how much traffic it would generate? And honestly, why do we need an entire separate facility for something that sells what doctors prescribe to their patients when we have a number of pharmacies that already do that? *looks at federal government* Oh, right...

Why not? They have a liquor store.alot more peaceful than raging alcoholics.

Yea definitely, everyone’s cooked on this island already so no biggie All the Karen’s and Rebecca’s can complain on islanders squawk

Absolutely.

That location gets enough traffic... can they put it somewhere else?!

Airport

I think the Vineyard should focus on more important issues. Cannabis is becoming wayyyyy over-rated, trendy, and we got by w/o it before so what th' heck !!!????

yes please

Any where but the 🔺 traffic is bad enough

Some residents of William Street in Vineyard Haven, a popular Halloween trick-or-treating neighborhood, have said they won't be handing out treats this year. What do you think? Will you be handing out candy this year?

Trick or treat seems like one of those tumbleweed things that has to outdo itself every year and this is a good time to simply Stop. Do something small and different at home. I agree if its too much for kids to be in school 100% then kids do not need to be loading up on sugar in less than safe circumstances. Definitely think the Food Pantry is good alternative. The 20 and 30 somethings who can't manage to do what is needed to limit Covid spreading are the same ones started on getting something (free candy) for nothing couple decades ago.

Sarah, I haven’t read the comments but I believe that you are doing the right thing. I am sure that people are disappointed but this is a special time where we must all consider each other and the health of each person.

If everyone just trick or treated in their own neighborhood instead of mass grouping in a few neighborhoods then it's totally do-able. That's how we did it growing up on cape.

I think it’s the appropriate thing to do during the Pandemic. Even the kids will understand.

Won't they be wearing masks?

Sarah Moore -expressed beautifully. The health of EVERYONE is paramount. How in the world -during a pandemic that has taken the lives over 200,000 Americans -could anyone think Trick or Treating is a safe idea?

Joseph Lopes-Quinton 🙁

stay safe ~ stay well 😷

Liz Salvo

Sad for the kids, but I understand the concern.

Makes sense to me , if they can’t go to school , they should NOT be going door to door around town ! Please stay safe everyone

Well said Sarah

What a bunch of crap

So sorry to see some people’s reactions to this. I am one of those residents of William Street. I have thrown myself into Halloween every year....full out decorations, handed out 1600 pieces of candy last year, have a party where my guests come dressed in characters from the theme I’ve chosen (Wizard of Oz, Sound of Music, etc). I am a senior, in the vulnerable age bracket for the virus. Most of us are seniors. I cannot imagine handing out candy to hundreds of children in the middle of a pandemic with the possibility of being exposed myself, or exposing others if I am asymptomatic. Especially with the hundreds of people who come through our neighborhood. I, like many of my neighbors, are donating the money we would have spent on Halloween candy, to the Island Food Pantry. That’s about $400-500 from me, alone. I know many in the community are disappointed, but each of us are doing the best we can to navigate this pandemic. Please try to be understanding. You may not agree, and that is your right, but please respect our doing what we feel is best for our health. We have happily embraced this wonderful holiday over the years, welcomed your children, marveled at their costumes, and embraced with enthusiasm this wonderful event.

Risk vs. Reward Dont be a superspreader

It's only 45 minutes and expensive already.

You call the SSA a business? That's a joke, right?

What a racket!!

As for fares look at the proposed automobile rates. As it is between Hyannis and Nantucket it's roughly 550 to 575 round trip for a family of 4 with the new increase likely up to 650!

The Islander 👍

Oh well what is next?

Joke right?

Virus is spreading and we’re probably going back into lock down so they’ll need a bail soon

Suddenly everyone is a marine architect and an accountant. There is a simple solution if you don't like paying for the privilege to live here.

Stop spending so much money on new buildings and new boats and you won't need a bailout! Seriously, Island Home, renovating all the boats, new offices in Falmouth, new OB terminal, new WH Terminal, new WH slips. STOP, to MV it's 45 minutes, and the Islander served us fine for over 50 years!

It isn't the Vineyard customers that will feel the economic pain as much as the Hyannis to Nantucket customers. 7% higher rate both routes means every cost you have for goods and services will also rise by 10%.

The port towns get a pass on making up the deficit this year — but maybe not NEXT year, so .... take the bailout while you can get it. And plz spend it to the benefit of the islands and islanders.

"help from customers" - give me a break. #Gofundmeculture

Get your checkbooks out!!! I'm old school!!!😮

Why because they plane to raid the ferry$$$$

Operate all Fright boats and keep the Nantucket, island Home, eagle and the Marthas vineyard in New Bedford for the year.

Excellent

more RATE increases? they get paid too much, lay off the ones that do nothing

My first symptoms of ALS occurred in 2011, but was diagnosed in 2013. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatigue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then i decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Akanni herbal centre , It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit www. akanniherbalcentre .com). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others.
