Some residents of East Hampton’s Dune Alpin are hopping mad!!! What’s their beef? Well according to gossips*, the head of the home owners association gave the OK for a local group to use the agricultural reserve that’s located between Horse Meadow and 27 permission to practice polo. While personally, I think it’s great. I don’t have to schlep to Bridgehampton, put on a cheap plastic bracelet that cuts my circulation and wait in line with the Loser Housewives of wherever! I can take my bottle of seltzer water and go watch on the sidelines without the crowd. If you don’t know the field, normally this time of year it’s knee high with grass and pretty pristine. The owners miss the grass and hate the horse poop especially since a polo field is not a “reserve.” An owners association meeting was held last Sunday night to debate the problem, if I get some answers I’ll let you know.

* I did not fact check the story… I’m just telling you what I heard!
Let’s face it… we live in a one horse town out here! One horse in the sense that it’s a one industry town. An industry where you keep your friends close and your enemies closer! Well the publisher at Hamptons Cottage and Garden made a lot of friends last week and even more enemies. The reason, a full issue that consisted almost entirely of Corcoran ads. I’ve spoken with a couple brokers from all the companies and they’ve pretty much said the same thing, “who would advertise in HC&G now?!” Now if you look at the last issue and compare it to Jason Binn’s Hamptons Magazine, the Corcoran stunt in my assesment was a last ditch effort at life support. Fourth of July through the end of the summer, most magazines are ripe with ads and articles perfect for your coffee table. If you take a look at the current issue which was post “C” issue, it was more of a leaflet than a magazine. HC&G used to be a great magazine and still is in some respects. I’m just wondering how they can stick around? By the way, I keep seeing new magazines tossed everywhere. ENOUGH! Between Dan’s, Hamptons, HC&G and the papers, how much can you read on one weekend?! But of course you’ll always have time for my blog! Hello? HellOOOOO!? Does anyone read this anyway???!
