For Rent in Provincetown…

pasta-nightIt’s Pasta Night…Plain and simple.   Maybe because something stable (thus comforting) is needed.   I’m fortunate ( and smart): my operating system is stable, my housing is stable, and the two  people who still  love me are stable  (wave if you’re out there).    I guess I had a big shift in consciousness because I suddenly  recognized the instability around me.   I speak specifically of Provincetown and the more dramatic than ever change in the retail  landscape…and the stimulating and surprising possibilities.

Every year businesses come and go, all hoping to make enough money during our 3 to 5 month season to cover a full years worth of operating expenses.   This year it seems the opportunities for businesses to relocate to Provincetown, or for existing P-Town businesses to upgrade to more favorable spots, are tremendous.   Many retail shops are available to rent as well as commercial condos for sale.    Prices run from reasonable to  “nuts”  (You’d wonder if the landlady was back on the cough syrup (or hooch, or some cocaine derivative) again because she’s still asking an arm and a leg).

I typically take all this with ease, having successfully downsized  Capes Treasures 2 years ago  (Thank You Matthew for helping me see the Light), but my stable, artsy East End of Provincetown is poised for an energetic change.   Two doors to my left, the shop is moving (and thus we assume it will be for rent) and two doors to my  right, the shop is available.  A spot has opened up behind Anthony’s  Frozen Yogurt shop, one next to Now Voyager Books and one across from  Bowerstock Gallery, where  French Kiss was located.   The entire condo complex formerly Little Gorgeous Things is still  available.

Ears perking Up???   Well up in the West End, the old Town Camera is facing it’s sophomore  vacancy and at least one shop and restaurant are available across from Provincetown Town Hall.  Cuffy’s  (mega giant distributor of irregular and factory second tourtist t shirts)  has given up  one of it’s Provincetown locations  and a spot near  The Black Dog is available.   Provincetown has a subway sandwich shop for rent and a  vacant coffee shop across the alley is just waiting for the right troupe of perky baristas to come to town.   The old Don’t Panic is empty and it looks like there is a spot open across the way….The Caribbean restaurant  appears to have vacated as well.   An opportunity has opened up next to Cafe Heaven, and Toys  of Eros has left it’s temporary home above Roots in  the old City Video Location….so that could be available as well.    How many video stores have an ocean view in their ” back room”?  You know behind the beaded curtain.    I always thought that was cool…hey I was never a big porn user, but when rumor is a town guy has broken into acting you just have to check it out.

Is Provincetown someplace you should be checking out?   Is it your time to plant a foot into the sandy shores of the enchanted outercape?   Now could very well be your time…One of Us One Of Us…

Behind the Provincetown Post Office

I finally got a decent shot behind the Provincetown Post Office!    I guess if I left the house more than once a week  I could get more photos…but the house is so warm and all my stuff is here.

Sunshine Delights! (and a sinkhole)

stevie_sun_lLittle Stevie Katz really enjoyed the sun yesterday…and I even ventured down to the beach and discovered a sign I never saw before…sink_hole_It  warns, “Caution Sink Hole”.   the beach has always felt pretty secure to me, but I’m no geologist and it struck me as odd.   There was a seal way up on the beach and a  friendly German Sheppard Lana who had broken loose.   Speaking of loose talk, word on the street is we may get a CVS Drugstore right here in Little ol’ P-Town…maybe my visualizations are finally  manifesting!   Bring it on I say, I’m a fan of Value for Consumers.
