📰 News we're reading

• Backstory: Jeff Parsons & the Rock in Bridgehampton (danspapers.com) — A long-missing granite sculpture originally commissioned for Guild Hall in East Hampton ended up spending decades on a Bridgehampton front lawn instead, after a local dispute redirected it. The story traces how the piece became a familiar roadside fixture, why it never reached East Hampton, and how it quietly disappeared when the property changed hands.
