At 6 a.m. on Jan. 27, three hours before East Hampton Village opened in-person sales of its nonresident beach parking permits to town residents, 20 people in lawn chairs were already waiting at the Emergency Services Building for their chance at one of the coveted $500 passes. By 6 p.m., they were sold out.

The Church debriefs a judge/attorney/actor/rock-and-roller, the Masonic Music series will feature Caroline Doctorow, classic films in Montauk, a virtual talk on winter gardening, and two rock shows in Riverhead.
