This Quiet, Sandy Massachusetts Beach On Cape Cod Hides Behind A Difficult But Wildly Rewarding Trail

For anyone who loves a walk on the beach, the Great Island Trail on the Outer Cape region of Cape Cod may make both feet and heart go pitter-patter. That's because the 3.9- or 8.8-mile trail (depending on which loop you take) takes in some of the best ocean views and sandy dunes in Massachusetts. It starts a few miles west of downtown Wellfleet, the beachy beauty of Cape Cod without crowds. From the fast-filling parking lot of Chequessett Neck Road, the trail heads south through an aromatic pitch pine forest to reach the beach. A few steps in from the parking lot, find the grave of a Wampanoag woman, now covered with shells, pebbles, pinecones, and other talismans. Discovered in 1953, the 400-year-old bones below remind hikers that they are walking on Native land.

Lindsay Clancy sees latest setback as judge refuses to dismiss murder case – what happens next

Plymouth, Massachusetts - A judge has denied Lindsay Clancy's legal team's efforts to have her triple murder case dismissed on double jeopardy grounds, along with two other motions. Here's what will happen next. On Monday, Judge William Sullivan wrote in his ruling that the court concluded there was a manifest destiny at play that called for a mistrial due to what he said was the jury's deadlock. "A retrial on the murder indictments does not violate Clancy's right not to be placed in double jeopardy," Judge Sullivan wrote. Clancy's lead defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, had also previously f...

Parking and construction fuel frustration in New Bedford | Exclusive

NEW BEDFORD — Downtown New Bedford business owners say continued construction, detours and parking difficulties are making it harder to attract customers and keep their businesses profitable. For some, the closure of longtime restaurant Whaler’s Tavern has sharpened concerns about their own future. “It was difficult for locals to get to us. Never mind someone who is a tourist who’s not familiar,” said Kristen Brito. She worked at the tavern for nearly a decade before receiving the news in a text that they would be closing. “We had our customers, we had our regulars. We had our people that are feeling really sad about this,” she said. More: New Bedford Whaling Museum shares expansion plans for summer 2027 Brito believes construction for the New Bedford Whaling Museum expansion on North Water Street contributed significantly to the tavern’s difficulties. She said it wasn’t its sole cause, but the street was closed for 10 weeks during peak tourist season, making the restaurant harder to reach for both regular customers and visitors. “Construction killed the foot traffic and the road traffic,” she said. Visitors coming from the Whaling Museum also faced longer walks around closures, she said, creating a particular challenge for older

DARTMOUTH — Fairhaven's Jen Hassey was determined to create an encouraging environment when she took over the Bishop Stang cheer team three years ago.

I think a couple of years ago, he said you’re going to need a great support system so you should go coach at Stang and here I am. Honestly there are days I wouldn’t have gotten through without these two girls (Sydney Andrade and Aleena Borra) and this team.” Hassey diagnosed in the summer Following a routine mammogram in March, Hassey was called back for a second scan.
