Rumor has it, that a ceiling fan caught fire at Illusions jewlrey in Sag Harbor. Although there were no reported injuries or flames…. you would have thought it was the Towering Inferno! But hey, it’s small town living and people are bored in August. So everybody showed up!!
Yep this is a real video featuring my cousin in law Jordan Goldman. Who thought a silly little toy could provoke such hostility!? Hey, I guess everyone has their own issues!!!
Meanwhile, I was busy busy busy! But saw some great stuff at the East Hampton Fine Arts Festival. If you have some time, It’s at the American Legion of East Hampton on Montauk Highway in Amagansett from 10a to 6p. I know it’s not everyones cup of tea but if you can go with an open mind, it’s a nice hour of activity.
Finally, I’ve never seen Blondie live but I heard they’re awesome. Anyway, I just got front row seats for their performance at Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center. They still have more tickets available at http://whbpac.org , the performance is Sunday September 5Th. If you think that Blondie doesn’t have it anymore take a look at this video from their album about 3 years ago.
Well the cob webs and dust have been cleared at the former site of Jean “Ed Kleefeld” Luc’s former JLX bistro in Sag Harbor. Workmen are busy cleaning up the location for a new occupant and a “help wanted” sign is posted in the window. The team that brought you Trata in the city and Water Mill are opening a new “French Bistro.” The site doesn’t yet have a name but after speaking with one of the people responsible Peter Chris, it sounds like it’s going to be top notch! YEAH!!! I love that location and it bothered me to see it sitting there looking so sad! The interior according to Chris will pretty much stay the same as it was in the days of JLX. Actually that’s a good thing.. the interior was never the problem with that spot. My favorite story from JLX bistro was the day they had no gas for the sodas and told me to run across the street to the Vincenzo’s pizza if I wanted a diet coke. And you wonder why they’re no longer there.
On another note… it’s rare I write about one of our office listings but Gioia Dipaolo’s in the Prudential Dougals Elliman Sag Harbor office has one of the most spectacular properties I’ve seen in a long time. Built by Charles Rich builders.. the property is a designers dream residence in North Haven Point.
