Open Mic moves to the Marina

Wednesday, June 22, 2011 — Issue 106

BRATTLEBORO — Open Mic will be held at the new Marina Restaurant this summer on Thursday nights from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

The Marina is located on Putney Road. It was destroyed by fire last summer but has since been rebuilt. It is expected to re-open sometime in July.

Kevin Parry has been hosting Open Mic in Brattleboro since 1991, most recently at Adagio, which was lost in the Brooks House fire in April.

With the re-opening of the Marina Restaurant, performers will once again have an opportunity to entertain in a casual setting in front of a live audience. There is no cover charge for the evening of free live entertainment.

For more information, visit Kevin's website, or call Kevin at 802-257-7428.

But that optimism was mixed with healthy doses of reality. Hsiao, the K.T. Li Professor of Economics at the Harvard School of Public Health, presented his team's 130-page report, Health System Reform Design: Achieving Affordable Universal Health Care in Vermont, to the Legislature on Jan. 19. While still in draft form until after...

The sky didn’t fall

I have been skateboarding for 12 years. I grew up in a town in northeast Florida that had a mindset toward skateboarding that was similar to Brattleboro's: laws banning skateboarding on public property, no public skatepark, etc. When it was determined that a public skatepark would be built within a quasi-residential, mixed-used recreation park, a similar backlash ensued. All of the same arguments that we've heard lately in Brattleboro were brought about: noise issues, drug use, vandalism, declining property values,
