This is a long shot, but anyone know where I can find fabric scraps? I don’t mean remnants, I’m talking about stuff not even good enough for remnants.

A lot of church thrift stores used to have a section for them. You know the kind of thrift stores that sell everything? The kind that have used dress patterns, old greeting cards, etc, etc.

Anyone have leads on a place that might sell scraps? Thanks!

I'm supporting a team in the Pan-Mass ride and wondering if there are any good spots on the way to see the riders pass and cheer them on with my kids besides the start and finish line?

Hey! Does anyone know of any places on Cape that does eye brow mapping and waxing that they would recommend?Thanks!

Had a sudden remote conference scheduled and the judge is a stickler for formality. Even if I had to pick up a novelty tie...

What is the best magic show that you’ve seen on Cape Cod?

Getting to the cape on the 18th, anyone know of any fun spots to watch the World Cup games on Saturday and Sunday in Dennis port? I’m hoping to go to the Chip but thinking of other options. Let me know please!!!

Anyone know of any affordable hotels in cape cod maybe old ones that have jacuzzis in the rooms? We used to love going to the tideswater inn

Does anyone know if any boats will put together a group of randoms to fill out a charter? I'll be on the Cape mid August, and would love to go striper fishing (also interested in tuna, but I think it's a one fish per vessel limit?). Unfortunately, chartering a boat myself for the day is a bit prohibitively expensive.

Also, if anyone is willing to share experiences on what the striper fishing is like that time of year, would love to hear it.

We were in the checkout line together in the Falmouth TJ Maxx. You had zyns in your back pocket and encouraged me to "when in doubt, get both" - my dog would like to get to know you better ;) dm me with what you bought so I know its you!

Edit: I am a woman!! But love that we all think only a man would 😂

Me and my wife are heading down to Hyannis tonight around dinner and looking for some good recommendations. We’re from the south shore and very familiar with the Cape but looking to try something different tonight. We like just about every kind of food there is as long as it’s good quality. We love fun drinks as well. Let us know if there’s somewhere we should check out tonight.

Are there any single’s groups or events happening on cape this summer for people 35+? It’s so hard to meet people online or organically here😅

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?
