A few interesting points (interesting to me, anyway):
* Note the Cape Cod Times article makes no mention of the article being previously reported by another newspapers. That's how things were done in the old days. Now, the code of honor crafted by all these bloggers and web sites and such, demand that credit be given credit to the first reporting party. Took me a while to get used to that.
* It should be noted that while the death of this deal is probably due most to the difficulty of developing property in this new and miserable age, there is another factor as well. The decreased demand for boats and boating. It'll be interesting to see if the hard economic times trickle down to our own marinas next year.
* Finally, the Cape Cod Times mistakenly gives Chuck and Ann Lagasse credit for renovating Newburyport's downtown. It no doubt got the information from an earlier Provincetown Banner article that provided the same incorrect information. This is one of the strengths of electronic media, if you make an error you can correct it more easily.
* Okay,this is finally, I wonder how the "real people" of Provincetown feel about the deal. Are they as excited as our local "real folk" who are excited to see any plans for Waterfront West go on the back, back burner?
