To those residents of the Village of Greenport he’s Mr. Mayor. To Island residents he operates an auto repair shop that’s the only New York State Inspection Station here. He’s George Hubbard, a young senior citizen who runs his shop with an old fashioned small-town Mayberry approach. He knows everyone’s name and people are very comfortable leaving their car at the place even if he’s not there. They can just leave a note outlining what they want done. “And I like being on a first name basis with everyone,” George said. And it’s this friendly, trusting attitude that has been part of Island commerce for a very long time. I remember in the late 70’s right after moving here year-round, my wife called me at work in Sag Harbor to tell me that her car would not start. I told her to call B&D garage and tell them her problem. She told me that Bobby Clark came and installed a new battery and said he’d send a bill. Friendly and trusting Island traditions.
