Remember, we leased Pufferbellies for this Wailers show on Thursday. This is a Real Cape production so it will be packed with good people looking to have a good time. If you’ve ever been to one of our events you know the crowd that comes to these things are always super friendly and mellow. The last show we did at Pufferbellies the staff said they had never seen a cooler group of people to deal with. So for anyone with reservations about going to a show at Pufferbellies have no fear, Real Cape people are fantastic people.

Also, the show starts at 7 with Selectah Niko and friends spinning some nice reggae to get us all warmed up and The Wailers go on at 8. This means it will be an early night for the people worried about it being a weeknight. So basically you have no excuses. Seeing The Wailers perform one of their best ever albums in its entirety in December on Cape Cod is not something you want to miss.

Shipyard is our beer sponsor for this event and they will be on hand with free samples and all kinds of other free goodies for everyone.

CapeNews.net – An overflow crowd of residents packed the conference room at the Bourne Veterans Memorial Community Center Monday night, December 1, to learn more about and comment on plans to build a new railway platform in town, just south of the Cape Cod Canal, at the foot of the Bourne Bridge.

The platform would serve the CapeFLYER seasonal passenger train.

Some residents at the meeting worried that the new platform would generate too much car traffic in the already heavily-traveled area, when people are picked up or dropped off at the train.

This really is a tough one. On one hand it will attract more tourists and keep people from getting off the train on the other side of the canal and driving over the bridges onto Cape Cod. On the other hand, adding a train station to the Bourne rotary is kind of like serving Ebola sandwiches at an AIDS clinic. Everyone there is already screwed, do we really need to add to their misery?

How about we use this money and energy on some new bridges? Maybe we should focus on getting the 4 million people in cars over the bridge in less than 18 hours and worry about the 16 people on the train a little later?

CapeCodOnline.com –  Property owners looking to hook up to National Grid’s natural gas line may find they have a long wait ahead of them.

The utility company has instituted a moratorium on new hookups in all of Brewster, Dennis, Yarmouth, Orleans, Eastham, Harwich, Chatham and parts of Barnstable. The halt could last until 2019…

The moratorium was prompted by a recent inspection of the main transmission line along a 21-mile stretch spanning the Mid- and Lower Cape, which revealed some of the equipment was not up to current standards.

“We made the decision to lower the pressure in the main from 200 pounds per square inch to 125 until it’s replaced,” Navarro said. “We’re still evaluating what has to be done.”

“They found they had 4-inch pipe in some places where they thought they had 6-inch,” Wolf said. “The infrastructure isn’t there so they have to ratchet back until it is.”

“Suffice it to say, the gas main is totally safe,” Navarro said. “Some of the equipment just doesn’t meet with current standards for the higher pressure, so we decided to lower it as a precaution.”

National Grid is the gas Nazi. No gas for you! Don’t worry though, 2019 is right around the corner. You’ll get your gas just in time to make some killer dip for Super Bowl 54 between the 49ers and the Neptune Blue Knights. On the bright side, you’ll be able to afford the conversion because that car you just bought will be paid off by then.

On another note, how about National Grid blowing smoke up our asses about how safe their infrastructure is as well? You aren’t fooling anyone turning the pressure down to 125 psi. We’ve all seen enough sci-fi movies to know that anytime you can only run the thrusters at 62%, something is about to explode.

Sleep well everyone, there’s a giant pipe bomb underneath us.

WL – Selectmen voted to set up an account to defray the expense of proving that the entirety of the Nauset Spit belongs to Orleans, but so far it is empty.

Although a portion of the spit has accreted, or grown, into Eastham, Orleans officials maintain it belongs to the town. The Cape Cod National Seashore disagrees, saying it has deeds that prove that portion of the barrier beach is the property of the federal government.

Voters at town meeting appropriated $50,000 to have attorneys and consultants look at historical records, as well as the geology of the area, to buttress the town’s case.

Most expect the endeavor will be a pricey proposition so the selectmen voted to set up an account that residents and others could contribute to.

Last week, Selectman Alan McClennen asked Town Administrator John Kelly how much was in the account.

Kelly said there was no account yet, as no one had given money. He said an account would be opened as soon as the first donation was received.

Looks like the people of Orleans have really rallied behind their fearless leaders on this one! They might want to think about using that $50,000 of taxpayer money that they are giving to a bunch of lawyers for something a little more useful.

This just might be the epitome of Cape Cod Problems. Two Cape towns and the National Seashore spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in a legal battle with each other over a pile of sand that didn’t even exist until recently. Go into a bar in Pittsburgh and try to explain to a few people how important the battle of the Nauset Spit is without getting stabbed in the face.

Yahoo Travel – Watching a movie from the comfort of the driver’s seat with hundreds of your closest friends is a disappearing treat, but you can still find an iconic drive-in if you know where to look. These 11 are worth the drive.

As Cape Cod’s only drive-in, this Wellfleet mainstay is the only movie theater in the world where you can eat oysters while watching a flick. When not showing movies at night, the lot serves as a bustling flea market on summer weekends.

What a great honor for Wellfleet Drive In being named one of the 11 best in the country, so what if there’s only 12 drive ins in the country, it’s still impressive. Cape Cod for the win!
