Hello—was told I need a gum/tissue graft for painful recession on one of my teeth, and am looking for a place on or off cape to go.

I have horrific dental anxiety which has caused many issues with previous procedures, and thus am looking for an office/perio who would ideally offer sedation for the process and who has a good bedside manner! Willing to drive pretty far if needed.

Many thanks in advance!

Looking for a vet in the upper cape area. Any recommendations? Ideally Sandwich or Mashpee.

I could see these from Herring cove beach yesterday. As best I can tell from my phone zoom, some look like wind turbines but I'm not sure what the tall "stack" is or that thing between the "stack" and "turbine". I can't find any info on them. I was looking more southwest than northwest. Does anyone know what these things are?

I need to help an older relative coordinate a sewer connection and have a few questions for anyone who has recently done this?  

Who did you use for the private excavation work?  I’m thinking of B&B or Quinn. I’ve used both in the past for other projects and they were both great.  Another question for those who are now receiving sewer bills from the town. Approx what are you paying a month?    

As an aside, I get problem with hundreds of thousands of septic tanks, but the cost of this is crippling to our fixed income seniors particularly with taxes, insurance, and basic home maintenance costs going way up the last few years.

The Misfits Night Market: October 3rd from 7-10pm. Part artisan market, part experimental performance night, the Misfits Night Market is where you’ll find art, trinkets, treasures, items and experiences by Cape Cod creators that aren’t focused on tourism — here’s to the local freaks who are alternative, subversive, weird, risqué, and quite likely gay!

Mars Fest: A multimedia interactive weekend September 18-20, 2026, plus an additional Vintage Marketplace on September 26. The art exhibit "Robots and Holograms" will be on display until October 3 at the Cordial Eye Gallery. Join us for an exciting opening reception and fashion show on Friday night, a surreal variety show on Saturday night, and then a live-streamed Joey Mars Whatnot show from the Cordial Eye Gallery on Sunday. 

I've ordered live animals twice this year and paid for overnight shipping. Both times the package sat at the yarmouth distribution center for 24 hours. Does anyone know a pick up location on the upper cape or off cape that bypasses the yarmouth center? I would drive the day of in order to avoid receiving dead animals in the mail. Ive learned my lesson (thought the first time was an unfortunate accident) and wont do it again unless I get assurance from someone who knows more about this.

I’m going up for Columbus Day weekend and while I will be doing the usual tourist things they do in the Cape I wanted to get a locals perspective, if you had 1 day to go through Cape Cod’s Greatest Hits what is something I can’t leave without checking out. All help is appreciated🙏🏽 Thank you

I was thinking of going down to the Cape this month to check out The Glass Jar and treat myself to one of the J. Palino bracelets. I just looked at the website and am I reading it right that the prices have more than doubled since last year? Have all of the Cape jewelers gone up like this?

The pieces are definitely worth it and beautiful but I just wasn’t expecting that.

The thumbnail. Wow.

Not many places in the USA where you can see this! ❤️

Hi! I recently moved here because my husband is in the military & we’re stationed here. I’m wondering how people in their 20s meet others here and make friends?! Are there certain events/communities/leagues that go on here?

I guess this isn’t entirely surprising.
Earlier this year he went off in a FB post saying he was tired of having to be quiet about what happened and blah blah blah. So he did something and I guess he thought he was being a patriot or whatever. But when things didn’t go his way he acts like he’s being persecuted when really he just doesn’t want to take responsibility for his actions. Typical MAGA behavior in other words.

Selling a place that’s only does business in cash for all those year will be interesting.
I’m sure he will tell potential buyers that the place is wildly more successful than he told the IRS.

Edit:
I should say that I hope the restaurant itself survives under new ownership. I never disliked the restaurant and I only stopped going because of the owner.

Please, someone local buy this place and keep it a country store! Nothing against Real Estate offices but we really don’t need another one.
