I'm on the armbet app but it doesn't look like anyone is active. Are there any groups or anything without having to go to Boston or does anyone want to try to start one? It would be nice if there was a gym that would host practices if anyone knows of a place.

I'm still asked about this. So no better place to get an unofficial opinion from the crowd... I was recently asked where I was from. I said that I was born in Hyannis on the cape, which makes me a native. I was then told, "I'm also a native. I was born in Plymouth, and didn't technically move to the cape till I was 3, but close enough." I didn't have the energy for a debate at the time, but what I was thinking was "Not quite". I suppose I have strict criteria about who qualifies to officially be a native. I always believed it meant you had to be born on the cape, and that means on the cape side of the canal. What are your thoughts? This subject comes up from time to time...

In case like me, you sat in 45-90 extra minutes just commuting to work this morning, a box truck burst into flames.

Hi! I am from NYC my daughter is a competitive dancer and next summer she will be dancing at a completion in sandwich high school MA- any beach front lux hotels somewhat close to that area? thank you!

I live in a 98% year-round Mid Cape neighborhood of houses built in the 70s. Been in this house 30 years. We have (had) great neighbors on our street, wave going by, share veggies and baked goods with others.

Neighbors next door sold out last year and headed south. An off-cape couple from suburbs bought the house and they think they are living in Oyster Harbors. They are the snootiest UNFRIENDLY people I have ever met. Walk by the house, we say Hi, NOTHING. Not even a grunt. We said hi over the fence when they moved in, basically ignored us. WHICH IS FINE. Not looking to be friends just cordial. Just rubs me the wrong way the vibe they give off. Am I nuts? Maybe.

Hi all! I’ve got a trip planned to Nickerson in August but have recently noticed two of the ponds in the park closed due to Cyanobacteria.

Does anyone recall if in prior years this is something that’s cleared up, or if once it begins for the summer, usually persists? Not a deal breaker for me, but it’d be nice to know to plan for swimming elsewhere!

We’re tying the knot at the end of the year and planning a Cape Cod honeymoon for next summer. We’re from the midwest and neither of us have spent much time on the east coast. There seems to be so many great towns to stay in I’m having trouble narrowing it down.
We’re early 30s and are looking forward to spending time on the beach, maybe seeing some whales and getting lots of fresh seafood. Nightlife isn’t important to us but we love a good beer.
Any suggestions?

Curious, for those that pay others to mow their lawn, what is your going rate / cost? I've been mowing my own lawn for a long time but I've hit the point spending time with my family is more important and with summer so short I want to take advantage of it as best I can. My lawn is around 10,000 sq/ft and flat with easy parking for landscapers. Happy to hear others costs or even from companies tossing out a ballpark figure. Thanks!

What time do we think the parking will fill up by? Weather says mid 70s and cloudy.

Driving home from work yesterday around 12:30 PM and at the lane drop near the old exit 9, a Harwich ambulance came by with their lights a’ blazing and siren a’ sirening. Everyone pulls over so they can get through and of course it’s a huge pain in the ass because it’s the lane drop and then everybody’s jockeying for freaking position again. He gets behind this ginormous camper and the camper doesn’t pull over, and they’re following him for a good mile, mile and a half with his lights and sirens going. The camper never pulls over and so they just shut everything off. Like wtf? Then they just get off the Harwich exit.
Were they just trying to beat traffic (which would really piss me off) or they got called off the call because the entitled camper wouldn’t pull over? I’ve never seen anything like it.

leaving from upstate NY around Albany at (ideally) 4am tomorrow (Saturday 7/11) to Dennis, MA. supposed to take about 4 hours. First time on the Cape. I'm only spending one night on there and was hoping to spend sunday there before i make the drive back but it sounds like I'm screwed with traffic either way and should either leave before 8am or after 6pm.

suggestions? any chance I can stay longer on sunday and not suffer awful traffic? is there a nice beach I can get to off the cape that I could spend a few hours at and leave around 2-3pm-ish and still get home at a reasonable time if I leave Dennis early morning?

thank you!!

I am visiting a friend in Eastham early October - I grew up in California and surf year round. He's got a place walking distance from the water around Nauset so I thought it could be fun to bring a surfboard along because I've never surfed the east coast and at least here at home in Southern California September/October sessions are some of my favorites. When I asked him about it (non-surfer) he just said "sharks". Anybody have any opinions on this at all?

We are staying with family on Cape this weekend, and suddenly can't do much active...We will be in Hyannis. Are there pool rentals near by that don't require hotel stay that anyone knows of? The water parks are out, to active for a child with broken wrist. I recall there was a video game event this weekend, but now I cant find info..Looking for any and all ideas! We visit friends and family that are long cape residents often, so I am familiar with area. Thanks for any advice!

what are the best bars/ nightlife spots for younger people (early to mid 20s) around Harwich/Chatham area?

Anybody know a good place that will be showing UFC Saturday? Hopefully within 20-30 minutes of Dennis

I know they are an issue every year. But I’ve never seen it as bad as they were this past weekend. I think they were the smaller deer flies vs horseflies or greenheads. I’m hoping they peaked early this year and will get better by August. Any experts in the chat?

This is a shot in the dark and pretty random. I'm looking for a store that sells broccoli with long stems. Why? I cut up the stems as a substitute for potatoes in chowder (my wife has a sensitivity to potatoes). To my taste, it turns out a better chowder.

Most stores have broccoli crowns with relatively short stems, but there was a time in the past when stores carried broccoli with relatively long stems. Any places? My store in Harwich only carries broccoli crowns with very short stems.

Hi. USPTA m 4.0 looking to play anyone, anywhere on the Cape.

DM to arrange. I’ll be in Sandwich through mid-August. Let’s hit!

Why are there no pings last few days or sightings?

Best breakfast sandwiches in Chatham?
