🌱 Southampton Daily: Town Offices Closed 6/20 For Juneteenth Holiday

Hello, everybody. It's me, Diane Witek, your host of the Southampton Daily, here to impart everything that's fit to print about what's happening locally. Here goes.

First, today's weather:

Breezy in the afternoon. High: 71, low: 67.

Here are the top stories in Southampton today:

1. Last week in Riverside, "a long-abandoned building went up in flames, gutting the structure." On Wednesday, June 8, at 9:52 p.m. police were alerted that a fire broke out on Flanders Road in Riverside, Southampton Town police said. No injuries were reported, but the structure was completely destroyed by the fire, police said. (Southampton Patch)
2. Southampton Town announced that town offices will be closed Monday, June 20, in recognition of the Juneteenth holiday. (Southampton Town - Government via Facebook)
3. Good Ground Park will have the region’s top bands perform this summer. The “Good Ground On Stage” includes eight music concerts and two movie nights — all free! Good Ground Park is located at 9A Squiretown Road in Hampton Bays. (Good Ground Park Website)
4. Dan's Papers has a list of places where you can grab the best summer beach eats. These waterside eateries have evolved to please a more "sophisticated palate, making it possible to truly have something for everyone." (Dan's Papers)
