Where I come from....

On any given Summer Evening

You can find us here...

The heart of our town set deeply in it's Maritime history.

We stroll the old fashioned boardwalk and it feels as though we've simply stepped back in time.

We live in a coastal shore town where clamming, crabbing, fishing, and hunting
is a long part of its history.

Generations of families have survived and thrived here with those occupations.

A coastal town in which a light house such as the one shown below has guided

many a fisheman home safely to their families.

A small town from which fresh seafood is still readily available on the docks

where the fishemen bring in their day's catch.

And many a market has stood the test of time, passed down through families.

Long standing names in our community grace business signs.

A place that reminds the residents of

how our community came to be.

On certain summer evenings we gather together with family and friends here to listen to the

live concerts they put on for the locals. 

Including locals of the webbed foot variety...following us down the clam shell path.

While listening to the music we walk through the town and enjoy the sights

of things and appreciate times that once where.

I love history,

I especially love the local history where we live.

Standing outside old bait shops and fish markets that had a strong hand in keeping this community standing makes you appreciative of the old timers you pass by on the docks.

Can you tell if this picture was taken 60 years ago?

 Or maybe taken just yesterday? 

If it weren't for the light in the peak and air contitioning unit peeking up
I don't think that you really could tell.

All in all, it's still the same.

So what is your local history?  What type of local commerce has kept your town afloat for generations, coal mining, logging, fishing maybe farming? 

Let me hear all about where you are from!
