Let's Get Down to Business!  A Walking History of East Hampton Village's Commercial District.  Presented by the Anchor Society

What kinds of colorful, quirky, practical, and whimsical shops could be found "upstreet" in the decades before Prada, Vuitton, and Valentino arrived? What was the business district's retail culture like for shoppers 50 or 100 years ago? Travel back in time for a fun and informative walking tour that will highlight a variety of storefronts and business buildings, providing not just a hint of nostalgia, but a peek into the creative ways nonprofits in our community are brainstorming to return heart and soul to Main Street.

This event will coincide with a pop-up exhibit at the Long Island Collection at East Hampton Library in the shops of yore (as well as an evening talk on July 18th featuring members of the Anchor Society and Hugh King, village historian). 

Meet 10 AM in Lumber Lane Parking Lot 2, East Hampton.

We will watch the sun set on the longest day of the year. Sunset will be at 8:24 PM. Just over two hours later, at 10:41 PM, will be the summer solstice -the moment at which the sun reaches its highest point in the sky in the northern hemisphere and summer begins. (The solstice always falls on June 20, 21 or 22.) 

Meet at 8 PM by the Atlantic Avenue Beach concession stand. We'll try to identify shore birds and keep an eye out for dolphins and whales. We will stroll east along the beach, then return west as the sunset gets brilliant, if all goes well. Depending on the weather, people's moods and the mosquitoes, we may stay long enough to watch the stars come out. Wear long pants and long sleeves to keep away the bugs and to stay warm when the temperature drops. Bring snacks, liquids, bug spray and beach chairs.
