The Boston Business Journal reports on the government's efforts to unload Graves Light, which has five stories, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a study on a ten-acre island nine miles offshore from downtown. The government will try to find a non-profit organization that wants a remote island, but if nobody bites, will put it up for auction - on the condition the buyer maintain the lighthouse.

H.3806, filed by state Rep. Bruce Ayers of Quincy, would bar the state from leasing out Outer Brewster Island, now home to a long abandoned gun battery and lots of nesting birds and seals. In 2005, an energy company proposed building a $500-million LNG terminal on the island.

Sadly, I've never been to the Boston Harbor Islands in the 20 something years I've lived on the North Shore.

This summer, our Shakespeare teen group did Romeo and Juliet all around the north shore. I'm already planning on next summer... and the Harbor Islands as a destination to bring the show to seemed intriguing.

I believe we're doing Hamlet in August, and Twelfth Night in July. The island destination for Twelfth Night would be pretty awesome...

But I don't know anything ABOUT the islands.
