MacMillin Pier

For some reason I seem to remember those kids kept the change they got in their mouthes, but we didn't hang around watching them too long, because we had to go further out on the dock and see if there were any huge tuna heads or carcasses laying out on the raft after butchering, then about face and head back to the Army-Navy (aka headshop, now) while my folks went to some place called Napi's for a bite, we waited until the trip back and made my dad stop at Rookies for dopgs and ice cream.
Trivia question:What's "Rookies" named after?

I actually haven't been to Rookies since it upgraded from a short order and ice cream counter with a few picnic tables to a full fledged restaurant, but my reliable source for Cape lore has reminded me for nigh on 48 years now that "rookies" was the nickname for trainees at Camp Wellfleet when it was an artillary training facility during WW II and the restaurant got it's name from that.
