P-Town needs votes to become National Trust for Historic Preservation fave

February 3, 2010 By janalfi

Vote for Provincetown as the 2010 fan favorite “distinctive destination” on the National Historic Trust website.

So far P-Town has the lowest number of votes – behind even Bastrop, TX and The Crooked Road, VA.  What’s the matter with Massachusetts? Michigan and Maine towns are way ahead of the pack.

P-Town is a beautiful place and shouldn’t be in last place.  Show some state pride.

Here’s the description on the NTHP website:

Hugging a sheltered harbor and surrounded by the dunes and beaches of the Cape Cod National Seashore, this New England seaport town boasts a rich history, including the site of the 1620 signing of the Mayflower Compact. For over a century, notable artists and literary giants, including Tennessee Williams, Norman Mailer and Charles Hawthorne, have called “P-town” home, and Friday night gallery walks are still a village staple. Commercial Street bustles with pedestrians, who can rent bikes or hop on a pedi-cab to explore the farmers market, shops and museums – most located in adaptively-reused historic buildings. While it has long been a favorite destination for LGBT travelers, Provincetown has something for everyone – and knows how to make every visitor feel welcome.

    If for no other reason than it being where the Pilgrims landed first and stayed for a month, it should be on the National Trust for Historic Preservation list.

      Have you ever been to P-Town on Halloween?  I was there once many years back.  It was surreal – there were so many nuns running around I felt like I was back in elementary school.  :>)

        I did go to a party one year (prior to kids) as a pregnant nun though. Won first prize!

Editorial: The stakes have never been higher in the fight to increase the pool of available housing. If the current effort around transit hubs succeeds, it could help determine whether Massachusetts has room to grow. #mapoli

BREAKING: Potential earthquake coming in Mar-a-Lago documents case. DC Circuit sets unprecedented schedule requiring Trump counsel to submit filing by midnight TONIGHT and then DOJ to reply by 6 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Did the court see evidence of national security threats?

Abigail Zwerner said she's recovering. A bullet struck her hand and chest, “I’m not sure when the shock will ever go away.. and, you know, the vivid memories.. I think about it daily.”

I agree w @erika4rep @JamieEldridgeMA @BenDowningMA — if the science says we need to speed it up, then let’s speed it up. Better financial incentives for quicker/bolder action for example. 🌎#ActOnClimate #Mapoli

Sabrina Shankman @shankman

On Monday, UN Sec-Gen. @antonioguterres said that in response to the dire IPCC report, developed nations should aim for net-zero by 2040. That's 10 years before MA's goal, so we asked the question: In liberal MA, is it even possible to move faster?
