    It’s not dead, it’s off season. I vacation on Block Island off season for my birthday often, because I prefer to have the place to myself and the locals. During the summer it’s unbearable. I prefer to go at the end of May or the first week of June. Stores and restaurants are just opening. We like to rent bikes for the week and explore the sites, it’s nice and relaxing, without the crowds of tourists clamoring.

      Of course. The vineyard, Nantucket and cape cod are ghost towns in off season, although 5here people who live there full time.

    What a blast from the past. I worked for a landscaper on the Vineyard back in the late 80's. The board at 5.50 was where we would leave messages for friends. A sort of static mobile phone of its day. It was a great experience for a young bloke from New Zealand.

      Back door donuts has the best apple fritters on the planet. They bake at night and open the back door to sell fresh out of the oven baked goods after the bars are all closed down. An Island treasure for sure!

    The Vineyard is dead in the winter.
    Then in the summer,the tourists,and the very wealthy white and black people from the US,will vacation here.. There’s no heat or water in those GB houses in the winter.
    Those houses sell up to a million and more. The Vineyard is a very wealthy town,in the summer. The residents make all their money in the summer.

  • @Polemodrome

    9:17 The guideline to build a gingerbread house is simple in theory: symmetrical plan, a central one or two story porch, the presence or not of an outdoor balcony on the side, a high pitched rooftop but most importantly... The gingerbread trims. Without gingerbread trims to crown the spindles of the porch and without trimmed bargeboards, you simply don't get the characteristic style. It is reasonably personalizable to an extent, as long as the trimming is part of a cohesive gothic theme.

    I was hoping you'd elaborate on the question 'Who was Martha and why is there no vineyard?' but I might as well google it myself and find out that nobody knows the answers. I'll say this: Noepe or Capawock sound less corny anyway. 😊
    Also: To hurl or not to hurl - that's the urgent question! 🤢

    • @WhenImBackInChicago

      "Originally called Noepe,
      or “land between the streams”,
      by the indigenous inhabitants of the Wampanoag Native American Tribe;
      the Island was renamed in 1602 by a British explorer named Bartholomew Gosnold,
      who named it after his daughter Martha, and the viney undergrowth found along the coast."

    I've heard about coastal areas like MV, Newport, RI or the Hamptons, etc, for a long time, but didn't realize until more recently how weather & terrain do affect their look & vibe. I don't know why I used to assume there wasn't much of a difference between the oceanside towns of the Mediterranean (Spain, southern France, Greece, Italy) compared with what in the US (mainly northeastern seaboard) is analogous to coastal UK.

    To stop my seasickness
    (on friend's yachts, sea & lake ferries, and tour boats)
    I noticed if I'm eating something/anything, then it subsides, greatly.
    Also, for me, if I go to the bow,
    of any boat,
    I feel best, opposed to the stern.
    In Mexico, all I had in my pocket were a few Starburst chewy candies, for the local kids, however, I ended-up needing them on the boat ride, and felt less ill for the duration on the water.

  • @Polemodrome

    Yes, gingerbread houses look like they popped straight out from Hansel and Gretel's story. Pastel color theming does a lot to tone down the gothic austerity of these. I can't think of another past style with which it'd fit perfectly. It's difficult to pull off, because having a theme park dollhouse is not the desired effect.
