First, today's weather:

Breezy in the morning; sunny. High: 55, low: 40.

Here are the top stories in East Hampton today:

1. Hildreth’s Home Goods and the South Ferry have served customers for over 150 years and have influenced the culture and history of the East End over many decades. These two businesses are among the first 100 across New York State to be showcased by the State Registry of Historic Businesses. (Subscription: 27east.com)
