    Looking like a lovely morning to kick back and catch up on the local news. Here's the latest issue of the Thresher Gazette, hot off the presses. After a lunch, we'll tour some more of the island.

    Ports
    Thresher is a small island, home to nearly a million native "landers," with outland vacationers sometimes swelling the population to nearly double. The seaport, airport and cruise port are small but designed for efficiency.

  2. the plazas of Thresher Island

    There are many plazas and attractions scattered throughout the island. A paradise needs its parks, after all. Here are a few of the most popular sites.

    Hand crafted of Italian tile, these three artistic plazas are tourist favorites:

  3. the Thresher Gazette

    veija2
    A few odds and ends about Thresher:

    Speak the speak:
    - Locals on Thresher are called landers; visitors are offlanders.

    - One is either on-island (here on Thresher) or out (not on the island.) I.e.. "He's not home, Mac, he's out to the States."

    - Directions are "on the V." For whatever reason, Peale is "left-V" and Wilkes is "right-v." Ver is "V-ver" and Corrente is "mid-V."

    - Locals absolutely never, ever make fun of tourists, call them"spiffies" (SPF users) or give them wrong...
