The clay cliffs of Aquinnah and the Gay Head Lighthouse, on the western end of Martha's Vineyard
From Robert Whitcomb’s “Digital Diary,’’ in GoLocal24.com
An article in Commonwealth Magazine argues that the Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe based in what we used to call Gay Head (actually many people still call it that) will in the fullness of time get a casino – in the form of a high-stakes bingo operation there. (More revenue than from the brightly colored clay ashtrays that the tribe at least used to sell!) Commercial gambling is always a sleazy business but I confess some pleasure at the prospect that such an operation will discomfit the rich and sometimes arrogant summer people “from away” in the area.
This might worsen the already anger-inducing parking problems near the famous cliffs that give Gay Head its name.
