Beth Colt, not Trumply, but the Hotel Magnate of Woods Hole
You heard it here first: Beth Colt, talented Woods Hole innkeeper and restauranteur, as well as Falmouth Academy chief visionary, has bought another Woods Hole landmark – the Sleepy Hollow Motel. Right now, it’s not only named “Sleepy Hollow”, but it’s like the proverbial Sleepy Hollow, mostly untouched since it was built decades ago.
Beth will undoubtedly whip it into 2017 pizzazz in no time, bringing ever more elan and energy to Woods Hole (in my mind, Cambridge-by-the-sea, even with those thousands of Vineyard travelers). Congratulations, Beth, and good fortune with your latest venture!
Falmouth Colors: Quicks Hole Tavern, 2/18/15
Steady snow yesterday didn’t deter 12 intrepid lunch and learners from a really good lunch and a really terrific presentation by Beth Colt on “Fifteen-Minute Websites”. Beth is the owner and, as she describes herself, the chief bottle washer at the Woods Hole Inn and Quicks Hole Tavern and QH Tacqueria. She’s also a talented and practical 21st century marketing genius. She shares her knowledge generously.
Yesterday’s gathering was part of a Chamber of Commerce series. Made us all ignore that pretty white stuff falling from the sky.
Old Silver Beach, 2/5/15
Last week Beth Colt of the Woods Hole Inn, Quicks Hole Tavern, and Falmouth Academy showed me her daily FB postings of images from around Woods Hole. She calls it “Woods Hole Colors”, a compliment to “Vineyard Colors”, a daily posting of images from the Vineyard that was started by a couple of house cleaners who wanted to share what they saw as they drove around their beautiful island. The New York Times picked up the story, and the rest as they say is history.
Hopping right onto the bandwagon, or color wheel as the case may be, I liked the idea of doing the same thing in Falmouth, and calling it “Falmouth Colors”. I started posting this week. The images may be seen on my Facebook page.
But today was just gray and dreary, and I couldn’t find a thing worth sharing. I questioned whether this idea was sustainable, and I still don’t know how it will play out. To do it every day is a big commitment, and some days are well, just not pretty. Or maybe it’s my life that isn’t pretty every day.
But at the very end of the day today, the last few moments, I could see that the western sky was light. It was actually yellow. I hit the road, and got to Old Silver Beach in time. This is what I saw. (But I nearly froze in the three seconds it took to capture the scene – the wind was brutal.) Can you see the cold?
