Good'ay Southampton!?!?!?!?!!!



Could it be true... the former site of that liquor store across the street from the OTB will soon be an...gasp... OUTBACK STEAK HOUSE? Now, I'm working to confirm this ... I promise I'll let everyone know. I know rumors are rampant and this is just the latest. As it's being told around town, one of the big wigs from the company has a house in Sag Harbor and apparently wants a place for a cheap steak on his way out on Friday nights. I have to say, I've never set foot in an Outback Steak House but I'm open. I'm sure it won't put The Palm out of business but what a great location, especially when you're sitting in the parking lot that is Route 27 during the summer. I'll keep you posted.

THE CONDOS ARE COMING! THE CONDOS ARE COMING!

After years of saying... wouldn't it be great if.... finally the Bulova Watch factory seems to be on track to becoming Sag Harbors chicest new address! It will be 63 apartment units in addition to 9 townhouses. Members of the town board will be looking over the plans in the next few weeks and hopefully will be giving a final green light to the project soon!

Meanwhile another project known as the "Sag Harbor Water Street Condos" informally are getting ready to break ground sooner rather than later. In total, there will be some 40 odd luxury condo units with a waterfront promenade and a large number of boat slips.

I guess Sag Harbor is starting to realize that progress doesn't mean you have to destroy the small town charm that makes this place so special!
