Tilton Sisters’ Market Specializes in Coffee, Spice, Everything Else

Looking for nonstop fun and excitement? Then go to the new Tilton’s Market at the Union Street Mall in Vineyard Haven when the UPS delivery van shows up.

The man in brown looked startled last Monday morning as Kathleen and Tania Tilton whooped and hollered at his appearance, and as they opened cartons of teas and coffees and exotic foods to further stock their new specialty food boutique around the corner from Riley’s Reads.

Jack Shea

West Tisbury assessors in recent weeks have approved a record number of real estate tax abatements, with more to come in the aftermath of flood of abatement applications this spring.

Some $197,000 in abatements, representing more than $44 million in real estate value, had been approved by the end of the fiscal year on June 30 and the final total will be higher, said principal assessor Kristina West.

The town granted about $130,000 in abatements in 2005, likely the previous record, she said.
