From downed power lines to flooded basements, many residents of the Chathams felt the sting from Hurricane Irene. The large sinkhole off of Van Doren Avenue on the bridge leading to Chatham Middle School was one of the storm's most dangerous and costly impacts in town. The sinkhole cause the bridge to close, leaving all traffic to enter and exit exclusively from Main Street. It also exposed a large pipe which feeds water to borough residents. Borough Mayor Nelson Vaughan called the sinkhole an "imminent danger" and said fixing quickly it was "a matter of public safety." The sinkhole is tentatively scheduled to be fixed by Tuesday. This photo of the sinkhole, taken on Sunday, Aug. 28, is Chatham Patch's Photo of the Week.

Chatham shook as a 5.8 earthquake occurred Tuesday afternoon. The earthquake had its epicenter near Richmond, VA, but was felt as far north as Boston. For many Chathamites, it was the first earthquake they had ever felt. Many buildings evacuated, including the Library of the Chathams. This display shelf at the library, with books toppled over after the earthquake, is Chatham Patch's Photo of the Week.

This week Chatham Patch took readers inside this home at 48 Southern Blvd. known as the Price-Baldwin Home. The current owners, Sarah Stanley and Don Davidson, are pictured inside the house, which has stood since at least 1824 and was originally built with walls of hand-split lathe boards reinforced with animal hair. This picture, taken by Antonella Rao, is Chatham Patch's Photo of the Week.

Unionville Vineyards, of Ringoes, set up a booth at the Farmer's Market for the first time this season. Visitors (21 and older, of course) are welcome to sample the wide selection of red, white and rose wines. The vineyard grows all its own grapes and wines are made right on the farm. This picture, taken by Kathryn Hough, is our photo of the week because it illustrates why Chatham residents love the Farmer's Market and all it has to offer.
