The new work done in Wellfleet is causing massive back ups. The Wellfleet PD has posted about it, they recommended contacting the DOT.

For those unaware, Marconi beach used to have a very short two lane set up, where people could turn right into Marconi beach, or continue straight. This "drag strip" was unstructured but (apparently) worked better to reduce backups.

The new intersection eliminated this second lane (making it strict turn only), so now the backup is much, much longer.

The other issues is in front of Wellfleet Cinemas - the new more structured lane merge and removal of the second lane earlier, causes cars to merge much further back resulting in much longer backups.

I understand why the work was done, I know these are safer but boy are we paying for it and I'm now avoiding Wellfleet/Truro/Ptown because of this which can't be good for business.

I couldn't find how to blur the photo pending a click.

This is in West Barnstable.

It could conceivably be vomit rather than scat.

No livestock has access to this area. Deer are the largest animals I've seen.

Ideas as to what animal deposited this historic landmark?

CCYP spent the last two years mapping the nonprofit landscape on the Cape and Islands. Who's here. What they do. How they're resourced. Where the gaps are.

Today, our Civic Engagement Field Guide is live: an interactive map, a searchable directory, and a first look at who's doing what across our region.

Please explore and tell us what you think: https://ccyp.org/nonprofit-survey

By making the sector more visible, we hope to get closer to understanding where need lives and where our collective efforts might go next.

My parents met in 1965 at a bar somewhere in Cape Cod called Diamond Jim’s. It’s their 60th Wedding Anniversary. Any idea where this place is/was, any pictures?

Screwballs and the Single Girl

OMG, can we talk about the pain and difficulty and challenge of putting the CC screwball bracelets on if you live alone?? I'm scratched to pieces. And it takes FOREVER. If you have the snug fit like they're meant to be, it's a complete battle getting it on your wrist, because it's hard to hold it open yourself.

And then when you do manage to get it on, the next challenge in the process is getting the ends to line up. You squeeze the bracelet and they just sail past each other. When I do eventually get the ends to meet, I need my thumb on one side and my second and third fingers on the other side to squeeze it hard enough to hold it with the ends together. I then have no free hands or fingers, so I start the ball rolling WITH MY NOSE.

I've been at this a while and I still need to get the ends to match up. I've done it a few times but haven't managed to do the nose-roll. I keep needing to take breaks.

BUT THE LOOK IS WORTH IT!!

I’m in West Yarmouth with my crab-obsessed 9- and 11- year olds. We spent yesterday searching all our usual spots (Crab Creek, Colonial Acres, Bass River Bridge, etc.) and saw zero crabs.

We finally ran into a fisherman who said a big storm a few weeks ago washed them out and they haven’t come back.

I know people are (rightly) protective of their spots (fwiw we’re a catch and release family), but i’d love to know if we’re on a wild goose (crab) chase. Was thinking of driving out to Waquoit tomorrow but won’t bother if it’s going to be a bust.)

TIA

Hi everyone, I am new to New England. A few friends and I are driving down from Boston this weekend and staying one night. What is our best bet for an easily accessible and beautiful beach that we can drive up to and set up easily on? Just looking to hangout for most of one day. We are staying around South Dennis for the night but willing to drive wherever.

Additionally; the next day before we head back, what are some must-see towns or areas to fill up a morning/afternoon? Any good local food/breakfast/affordable-seafood spots? Thanks!

Hi all. I am looking to have a cobblestone border and apron done on my driveway. Does anyone have any recommendations for the upper cape area? Thanks!
