The 8 Cape Cod, Massachusetts Italian Spots Where The Sandwiches Are Worth The Trip

One Italian market on the Cape names some of its sandwiches after neighborhood dogs. I love that detail more than I can explain. The sandwich called Suede stacks two kinds of prosciutto with Taleggio cheese and orange fig spread on ciabatta. Elsewhere, a cheesemaker who missed fresh mozzarella from home started making her own on an island.

Minks, rats and a Cape Cod legend

Driving past a neighborhood patch of brush and wetlands, I watched as a critter, sleek and dark with a long tail, slid across the road. My brain tried to register similar animals I’ve seen on Cape Cod. But It was too small to be a fisher. And it was too far from significant water to be an otter.

Cord left Cape Cod coyote unable to move. Wildlife vets have questions

A Cape Cod coyote is showing signs of recovery after rescuers found a cord wound tightly around its neck, leaving the animal temporarily unable to move his legs and raising fears of a serious spinal injury. The eastern coyote was brought to the Cape Wildlife Center in Barnstable around midday on Nov. 9 after staff from the Yarmouth Division of Natural Resources rescued him. According to the department, a resident had noticed the animal in distress and reported it. "When he came in, he could not move any of his limbs at all," said Dr. Priya Patel, a veterinarian at Cape Wildlife Center . "He basically was just lying on the ground. He was aware. His eyes were moving, but he could barely lift his head." Wildlife vets initially feared coyote had suffered spinal damage Patel said the veterinary team immediately feared the animal had suffered spinal trauma. The cord was so tightly wrapped around his neck that it could not be seen under the fur, and it was "constricting so much of the soft tissue," she said. While spinal damage was the first concern, the team noted extensive swelling around the coyote's neck and hoped some of the neurological

Step Inside This Massachusetts General Store Where The Food Is Straight Out Of A Hallmark Movie

If New England charm had a physical address, it would probably be 1228 Russells Mills Road in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Davoll’s General Store is the kind of place that makes you feel like the director of a feel-good movie decided to build a set, except everything here is completely real and the food is significantly better than anything you’d find on a film set.

She started dancing in the Roaring ’20s. At 102, Cape Cod’s ‘Tiny’ hasn’t stopped

When Grace Marie Ferreira wiggled her toes upon hearing music as a child in the Roaring ‘20s, her mother declared she would be a dancer . Now Grace Catrambone , 102 years old and 4 feet 9 inches tall, is still dancing several times a week and is well-known in Falmouth and across Cape Cod at ballroom and line dancing events as “Tiny the Dancer.” “My faith and my dancing have kept me going,” she said in her cozy Falmouth apartment on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Born in Falmouth on May 27, 1924, she also credits family and friends for helping her to keep active and live independently. Grace points out the many framed photos surrounding her living room – the 1906 wedding portrait of her parents, George and Anna Ferreira; her twin brother, Anthony, in his Merchant Marine uniform; her great-granddaughters and her many current friends at their dance parties. She also proudly notes several quilt hangings featuring her favorite cardinals, made by her daughter Ruthann as well as special gifts, including a small tree that was loaded with $100 bills on her 100 th birthday. Catrambone grew up on one of Falmouth’s biggest farms Grace's mother, born in 1882,

Housing bylaw changes on Yarmouth town meeting warrant Nov. 16

Four of the eight articles on the Yarmouth special town meeting warrant on Nov. 16 call for changes to bylaws governing short-term rentals and accessory dwelling units. Article 5 would modify and fine-tune current regulations related to short-term rentals and convert provisions from a zoning bylaw to a general bylaw before they expire on Nov. 30, 2026, helping to preserve a vital revenue source for the town, according to the article description. The regulations were originally approved at the 2022 annual town meeting to codify the historic use of homes on Cape Cod as vacation rentals. The short-term rental bylaw was prepared to ensure continued economic benefits and revenues to the town from the short-term rental excise tax. The revenue from the bylaw was more than $2.3 million in fiscal year 2026, with 75% going toward funding the town’s wastewater program. A sunset clause was included in the original bylaw to allow time for further studies or analysis, but the bylaw provisions would expire unless amended at town meeting. A second article would extend the sunset clause until the new bylaw becomes effective on Jan. 1, 2028. If the short-term rental articles do not pass, another vote would be required

Bill Murray calls New Bedford ‘really happening’ on Jimmy Kimmel

NEW BEDFORD – Bill Murray’s surprise summer appearance at New Bedford’s Zeiterion Theatre earned an encore after the actor recalled the visit during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel on Nov. 9. Murray, appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to promote his new six-part Paramount+ docuseries, “A Course Called Ireland,” praised both the theater and the city while discussing his Aug. 3 appearance following a screening of “What About Bob?” “The town’s really happening, really happening,” Murray told Kimmel in the interview. “Once it was a famous whaling town.” The screening was part of The Z’s weekly Monday movie nights in August, featuring a different Murray film each week. For those who attended “What About Bob?,” the evening came with an unexpected bonus: the film’s star walking out after the credits. Murray told Kimmel that a connection through a friend brought the theater’s efforts to his attention. He praised the work done on the venue and said he figured he could make the trip because he would be about 125 miles away. “It was just kind of fun to walk out at the end of the movie,” Murray said. “They had a standee in case I didn’t show up.
