Remember when "Race Run" was the tackle shop in P-town? You could drive from Long Point to Hatches Harbor. Hunt pheasant at the dike at the P-town airport. Pick cranberries there, too. Hell, dig clams there as well! That was when the CCNS was still sizing us up. We could drive ALL the dune trails and sometimes had to when the weather was extra sour. ALL year long. The train, now a bike trail or worse ( summersquidvillas) would come to North Truro and all of us kids would run out and wave to the conductor. The Station was right next to where my Grandfather Francis worked as an engineer for the Cold Storeage. I'd go with him before suppertime and "help" pick out a coupla Haddock or whiting and he'd teach me how to clean fish. We'd watch the trapboats come over from P-town and empty the weirs that stood in front of the Cold Storage. There was a Bayberry candle factory across the drive from the Cold Storage. The fellow who owned it also owned the house that I bought in NT. At the bottom of the hill Jerry Farnsworth painted and held classes. My Mother was a model for him as a child, he still taught when I came along. Before Farnsworth, Joe Duarte's( the parking lot in the center of P-town was once 3 car dealerships, it's where I started fixing cars) father stored ice there cut from the pond where the building sits. It's a gallery now. Tiny Worthington owned and operated Fishnet Industries, A high fashion deal in the early 50's -60's. Again Mon modeled for her business, too. The add used to run at the Wellfleet Drive In with Mom all wrapped up in fishnet looking cool.
Sorry for the rant, old guys have a lot to remember when they do.  I can't tell you how much I miss all that.. |

Karl, I sat in the bar of thr P-town a few years ago in the company of
some of the Tashas. Good folk. We drank and commiserated the downfall of the outer cape whilst the 'Sox played on the tube above the bar. Things ain't the same, and will never be again. Kills me. Makes me want to fight , but my wife doesn't think that a real good idea. It's kinda worth it but then again, I know that I'd only lose it all. Which was gonna happen anyway, really, ya know...
