  • The Cape Cod vacation spot attracts thousands every summer, and is a longtime haven for novelists, playwrights, artists and eccentrics. Mo Rocca guides us through "P-town."

    Some 3000 miles clear on the other side of the country is a community that is the flip side of Ptown, weather-wise. But the same accolades have been attributed to it: Palm Springs, California. Sand dunes and artists with 120 degrees in the summer. Summer in Ptown and winter in Palm Springs for those who use seasons as verbs.

    the pilgrims first landed in ptown, but when they learned how expensive the drinks were, they set sail for Plymouth.

      telecasterbear gotta be smarter than that, buy your booze at the liquor store and throw it in a bottle or travel mug lol. We'll grab a few drinks on the deck somewhere, but if you wanna keep the party rolling ya gotta drink smarter not harder. That's what my wife and I do anyhow.

    Provincetown is a Beautiful Place, but you can't tell the full story of Provincetown without mentioning the Native American Tribes that inhabited these shores long before the Pilgrims landed. At the Pilgrims Monument & Museum is an updated exhibition that tells a more complete story of Provincetown.

      A whole lot of nothing. My cousin lives there year round and one year I decided to stay up there a few days in February. There were only a handful of places that were open. The nice thing was that it was so quiet (and it was perfect for seeing the stars at night), but it's so deserted there I think I would go insane if I lived there in the winter.

    So you did a piece on P Town and didn't talk about the gays at all. The gay beaches, the gay parties, the gay houses, the gay culture, the gay lifestyles. That would have been so much more interesting then talking to some guy on a dock quoting his granddaughter about her pigtails. Maybe talk about the men walking the street swearing pig tails as tails.

    How can you talk about Provincetown without mentioning the Portuguese who built the town with its fishing industry and still own the banks, restaurants etc there? Portuguese culture permeates every corner of Ptown. The guy doing the Dunes tour is Portuguese. Ridiculous idiotic piece.

    • @josephrego2527
      @josephrego2527 Před rokem

      That's the result of Anglo-centered culture of the U.S. I'm certain they have tried to paint us (Portuguese) as Anglos.
      Provincetown is actually more of an expression of Roman- Latin culture. The first Europeans to accept the reality that Europe was not the center of the Universe
      . It is small, at first glance insignificant, while at the same time eclectic, cosmopolitan and lest I forget, oh, so accepting!
