I would say that a good 40% of the people who live on the other side don't know that, and maybe 80% don't realize that "Cape Cod" in the 19th century was considered by many to be anything inside the hook--up to Plymouth and beyond.

There is no such legal entity under the General Laws as "Cape Cod". The legal entity in question is the County of Barnstable.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
