How about when the punks really got their ears pinned back. :tooth:

:rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:

Gas $.29.9. Get $1.00 worht of gas and $2.00 worth of oil please and don't even think of calling me on Monday night's at 8pm. Laugh-In was on.

Remember the jingles on the Cape radio stations? Cliquo Club Soda and Thompson's Clam Bar. One of the Thompson's is now Montano's in North Truro, Where's the other? KarlF, Capesams? Hmmmmmm??

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.:think: I can't tell you how much I miss all that..

Fred....remember when we used to fish during Sox playoff games and slam fish while they got routed??? Its almost that time again!:jump:

Fond memories of Frank Thompson.. giant fat man, who taught me how to swear properly.. what a salty vocab on that man.. he would come to my dads gourmet and cheese shop.. i worked there from 12 years old on up...

Stetzko is the fisherman? Fishes name was Jedidiah?:laugha: Shop owned by....?

come and go as ya pleased, no sticker, no worries, bring your guns, hunt.. clam fish, pick cranberries, rose hips, beach plums... was that one of the elder Tasha's that got arrested for trying to pick beach plums a few years back?... imagine a ranger pullin a gun on an eighty year old woman who was trying to do something she had done her whole life... :doh:

all the towns shoulda known better... we can all identify with the native americans now... they had every treaty broken by white father from washington too... shoulda learned from them... Fed Govt. speaketh with forked tounge....

Hi Karl...how are you!:wave:

Remember when the Sox were 14 1/2 games up on the Yankees this year....:rocketem:

Remember the Square dances held at the Eastham Windmill...

And the record hops at the town hall across the street

I remember you shaming me off my couch so's I could catch my personal best..so far. I still bless you for that..Eff Pedro lets go fishing...OK.....
Karl,My wife's friend sang the Thompson song for us this Summer. She recorded it, I'll see if I can send it along, maybe you can finish the lyrics....I still can't remember where the other Clambar was..

Bertha...is the fishes name isn't it Karl?

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...

Wynchmere Harbor over in Hairwich.. was the original.. Frank.. and three of his brothers, if i remember right.. owned it.. all gone now.. big fancy condo type resort now.

Mike DiSimone?

A Hint (a freakin give-a-way hint)... think of the angler on the cape, who has longevity, and consistency on his side... still.

Jenn, :btu:, honesty is the best policy. :hihi:

Ya gotta have alot of good self worth to admit that. :musc:

Some of my rememberances are vague snapshots in my mind now.
Remember when:
Marathon in West Dennis was a HoJo's?
The Jolly Captain's arm moved?
There was a guy named Sam Gale who for years took out fishing parties from the Ferry Street dock on Bass River?
Tastee Tower in Dennisport used to have singers walking around?
Riverview B&T also rented dories with small Johnson outboards?
How many cottages on Shore Rd in N. Truro were named after flowers?
There was horse race track around Wychmere Harbor? (I'd be very be surprised if anyone does)

Remember when
 

spot burning was hip on s-b not its frowned upon.

Tony Chirrapo

finally! :hihi:

:D.. the one and only... Mikey owned it for a while, but TC started it.

I guess i figgered everybody knew :huh:... if you read the story of pink on Tattos website... you'll learn even more about Bass Run

:hidin:.....or I know I cant lie to save my life!!!!!

Ya, and after all the the good Cape history lessons
ya taught me, i failed the test. :smash:

remember when people had brains....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RVp8Q6H9e0&NR=1

when
 

P-Town had a town crier and he was straight.:rotflmao:

when you could have a 12'' trout on your solid fiberglass rod for a full hour and never know it!:bo:

When Rocky Point was a place well worth going to?

The Feast in Portsmouth at the PPACC was THE place to see your friends during the summer.

You could fish almost anywhere on Aquidneck Island and nobody bothered you or had your car towed.
