    Nothing compares to that smell of Cape Cod seaweed that sweet smell mixed with the salty air. My father had a 10 pot permit. I would give everything I have for one more day out on the water with him pulling those pots. I sure do miss you Dad.

    My late parents met through a mutual friend at the Chathsm Bar Inn. Mom worked on the old switchboard and Das started out as a busboy and worked his way up to the front desk. They were married in 1948 at St. Joseph's Church in Bristol, Ct where I still live.

    My aunt and incle moved to the Cape in the late 1960's. So relatively quiet in the summer. Yes, there were traffic back-ups at yhe bridges during the summer, but they thinned out as you got further down the Cape. Now it's just as bad as Boston during rush hour, only with salt marshes. My aunt's town allowed so much condo and jotel building you can no longer take what was a shore road to see the ocean as these buildings prevent yoi from seeing it. And ehat used yo be public beaces are now private. I avoid visiting between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

    Let's back WAY UP to Bartholomew Gosnold, who was was a famous navigator and discoverer in North America. Sailed from Falmouth, Mar. 25, 1602. Discovered Cape Cod and the adjoining islands. Leader of an expedition under the auspices of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, 1606. Discovered the Capes of Virginia. Founded Jamestown. Died there Aug. 22, 1607. I should know. I'm one of his 11th great granddaughters, DNA proven. The FIRST Europeans on Cape Cod were NOT there for farming. They were there for the abundant amount of Cod, which Gosnold noticed when he first landed there. They also found an abundance of oysters. They didn't plan on staying there long enough to farm. They were there to catch a haul to take back to Europe. Come on people, I live in Washington and I know this. Dutch and French sailers had been seasonally trading with especially the Wampanoag as far back as 1565. Did you even try to do any research? THAT WINDMILL IS DUTCH. It's all you late comer religious Pilgrim crybabies who ruined it all. Not the Dutch and French sailors who were there first.

    As usual, they left out something. Cod were fished out long ago, but the Cape Cod fishery went on. It was mackerel that filled the holds of fishing boats for many a year. And in Provincetown especially it was immigrants from the Azores who fished the waters off Cape Cod. Their story doesn't show up here.

    Your ideas would destroy this place beautiful place. It fascinates me how you think below poverty people would be happy with minimum wage jobs your mindset and way of thinking absolutely blows my mind. you're demeaning and I don't think you even realize it. No high rise anything would be welcome here. Cape Cod is rich in Tradition in history and it takes an act of Congress to build a tool shed. Trump can stay in Florida, also high tech companies can stay in Commiefornia , "you know that once beautiful state they destroyed with socialism & $ 6,000 dollars a month 500sq.ft studios overlooking feces & needles. No thanks!!! CapeCod has her issues however the stuff you mentioned, no thank you!. We have very sandy permeable aquifer here a highrise would destroy our beautifull bay as well as water wells.
