Chincoteague New Additions
There are a number of new additions either completed or near completion on and about Chincoteague Island. Perhaps the two most glaring examples of this positive growth are the new addition to the Chincoteague Library which will not only contribute to the visual landscape at Robert Reed, but will expand the minds of all who pass through it's doors and the New Chincoteague Bridge which will function as the Gateway to the Island.
The Chincoteague Library expansion will include a children's reading room and meeting rooms. The upstairs will include an entire section on Chincoteague's history and more. The number of books will triple, as will the number of computers. The expanded Chincoteague Library will provide a wonderful resource to locals and visitors alike. The expansion project is scheduled to be completed in September 2009
A Big Insider Thumbs-Up to Linda Ryan, Carl Palmer, Nancy Conklin and other members of the Island Library's Board of Directors. Great job Folks!
Thw New Chincoteague Bridge is on schedule for a November completion. Most of us will miss the romance of the old bridge, but none deny the convenience the new bridge will bring.
There's some new stores, the Island Surf Station, Saltwater Trading Company, and the Coastal Convenience Store all owned by Mark Kiesewetter. All the Best Mark!
And finally, Chincoteague has a new member of the Misty clan. Smoke'n Mist was born last week and now resides at the Chincoteague Pony Center with his mom. The Chincoteague Pony Centre boasts the largest herd of Misty's descendants to be found anywhere.
Chincoteague Island has always managed to lovingly embrace the tried and true and traditional and to embrace change at the same time. Old and new. Hometown and Tourist Town. Chincoteague has managed this balancing act for many generations and will continue to so so in to the future.
Lot's of great music on the Island next week, as well as the 2nd Saturday Art Stroll.The Insider will deal with that in the next post.

Until the next time...
