An appeals court has ruled in favor of the East Hampton Town law banning car ferries once and for all from the Hamptons' precious shores. The Cross Sound Ferry Company had its sights set on shuttling people and their cars from Montauk or Amagansett to New London (read: Foxwoods) and went so far as to build a rather enormous ship named the very Star Wars-esque Viking Superstar. The construction of the boat set the Town's original law banning such things in motion, and a decade of lawsuits and catfights later, those degenerate gamblers from Connecticut have been officially stopped. Unless, they don't mind traveling through Shelter Island, of course. [Dan's Papers]
