A sleepy, indoorsy Martha’s Vineyard afternoon, a preview of more to come as January slides by, greeted the streets down-Island on Sunday. Not one car was parked at Tashmoo overlook, not a soul lingered outside the Black Dog Cafe, and empty parking spots, months ago coveted, yawned along Main street Vineyard Haven in twos and threes.
But then, just before the library, the cars came into view. One behind the other, block after block they lined the street.
