Yarmouth makes front page of the Daily Mail

Another local politician with a holier than thou attitude.

A Cape Cod politician has been caught on hot mic insulting residents at a special town meeting which was livestreamed on YouTube.

Yarmouth Select Board member Joyce Flynn could be heard saying: 'God, I'm sick of these people' at the end of the almost two-hour long meeting. She has since apologized for the 'expression of impatience'.

What do people in their 30's think of living on Cape Cod?

I was born and raised here but left for 10 years until I moved back from Boston last Fall. I was surprised at how tough living here in my 30's has been so far to be honest. It feels like the Cape is a bit of a rough place to be for someone in this age group. I love the nature and being able to enjoy all that entails - but there's so few third spaces, a lack of off season events and the dating scene seems almost non existent year round. I'm curious - how are others in their 30s finding Cape living these days?

Update: Glad to hear I'm not alone with this sentiment! Sounds like kids and having a partner are what keep most people our age occupied and social, which is kind of a bummer 😅

Winter Rentals

Does anyone else just get pure enjoyment of out seeing winter rentals sit vacant all winter while they’re listed online for rent for 2500 a month but you have to be homeless by May

I do. Glad the owners are losing some money.

Would rather be homeless than put money in those evil persons pockets. We need to limit new homebuyers to having to actually RESIDE in the home they’ve purchased.

Should towns or residents that restrict beaches to themselves not get tax funds to for said beaches?

Trans-friendly barber or salon rec?

Specifically looking for one that offers masculine haircuts with clippers and shears(as opposed to just one). I just don't want to end up with another pixie cut or bob.

What’s the best place to get a pedicure/facial on Cape?

Want to get a gift card for someone to a place where they do pedicures and facials and stuff but have zero experience with this stuff. Would this be like a spa technically? I just want it to be a good quality place. Thanks in advance!

Post from HPD regarding drone sightings

As I’ve posted recently, who knows what the activity is, and if/when it gets released publicly from the federal level. I say federal because these reports have been coming all around the eastern shoreline, as well as reports of US bases in Germany reporting the same thing.

Who knows though, could be some weird hobby group that wants to make a ruckus and freak people out. However, always be vigilant. We have to remember that we do live in wild times.

Not here as a tin foil hat person, just providing some information I came across open-source.

Anyone ever get Jonah crab *not* from a boat?

My brother in law who lobsters recreationally says he gets them in his traps all the time.

I’m wondering if they’re only in deep water? Or wherever the lobsters live? (No clue where lobsters live. In the nooks and crannies somewhere deep?)

I’ve heard Jonah crab are yummy and would like to try my hand at them, but if they’re way out there, then I’ll take them off my list.

The Mashpee Wampanoag Work With a Cape Cod Town to Restore Their Fishing Grounds

https://civileats.com/2024/12/11/the-mashpee-wampanoag-work-with-a-cape-cod-town-to-restore-their-traditional-fishing-grounds-and-ecosystem/

A few questions come to mind.

How are the Striped Bass ever going to be restored to the Mashpee fishing grounds when the seals are eating over 200 MILLION lbs of food per year?

Why do the Wampanoag have to fight for traditional fishing access? They clearly caught and ate fish from some of the best spots before any roads or houses were built.

Inboard/outboard diag

Anyone know who WILL diagnose an inboard/outboard? I’ve called so many places, and I know it’s a rarity, but it seems like no one will work on them anymore. I really don’t want to drive the 4 hours to where I bought the boat if I don’t need to.

1993 Four Winns Sundowner 215 OMC outboard Ford 302 v8 engine

Issue is that it won’t draw up water, causing overheating.

I’ve already done so much that I really don’t want to go through the comments with more ideas about what people think I should try. At this point, it’s winterized the best it can be (poured antifreeze through the engine block from the thermostat, and through the hoses back), and I’m trying to plan ahead to get it diagnosed before the warm weather comes back.

Willing to drive within 2-2.5 hours if anyone knows for sure of a mechanic who will diagnose.

Thanks!

Lots of police activity and possible bust in DP yesterday.

There were lots of police wearing street clothes possibly arresting someone at Lucky mart. Anyone have any idea what was happening?

I think I found out a way to solve the housing crisis on the Cape.

Just make an amendment that if you are a new homebuyer you have to physically spend January through March at the home. Might as well throw in July for good measure.

Home Renovation Costs Mid-Cape

How much did you pay for a recent bathroom or kitchen remodel on the Cape? What did that cover? Do you have any companies you would recommend I look into or stay away from? We are just starting home improvement projects and don't know what to expect. The house needs a lot of work (deck refinishing, hardwood refinishing, bath, and kitchen renovations, etc).

Small/Medium Wedding Venue

My family lives on the lower cape. My fiance and I are looking to have a reception with about 80 people. Trying to avoid the giant yacht club scene, and do something a little different. Unfortunately, the 2 weekends we have open are mid-Sept and mid-Oct which is a gamble with the weather - any venues that are outdoor only would be a risk.

So far I have reached out to Borsari gallery which looks like it would fit our overall vibe. Any other ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. Has anyone ever completely avoided stress during wedding planning? If so I will take those tips as well.......

Good spots for photoshoot in cold weather?

Looking mostly in the Dennis/Yarmouth area for a couples shoot. I know there’s always the beach but wonder if there’s any cool buildings or something else I don’t know about

Model of Cleveland Ledge Light?

Some of my favorite memories of the Cape include Cleveland Ledge Lighthouse. Listening to it at night, sailing out to it on nice days, or just looking for it every time we went to the beach. I would love to have a scale model of it. Any local artists interested in a commission?
