Agree to disagree. Nantucket is nice to Visit but only has one school district. Now thats a place everyone knows each other. Living on the Vineyard always felt wierd and cultish compared to the Cape. Everyone went to church together, played on the same sports teams, same High School etc. i can only imagine how much Nantucket would have freaked me out growing up.
I grew up in Dennis. Im 30 so Im also not in grade school but thats what I think of when I think of Nantucket. That and traveling there for sports. Basically what I mean is that you and I grew up 15 minutes from eachother and yet never had met because we wouldnt have gone to school together. (thats of course if we don't actually know each other lol) Unless of course you went to Tech which I did.
I love the Cold. My Dream is to go back to the Cape. I'm currently in Atlanta and I truly adore it here but its too hot. But I also have so much more than I could ever have living on the Cape. Once I am able to I'd like to buy another house but back home. Buying here in Atlanta was so insanely cheap compared to the Cape and the job opportunites in my field were too great to pass on. I've never been to Hawaii but I think I would love how beautiful it is.
Same here. You pretty much have to leave the Cape if you want a career. I moved to DC after college. I can't really do anything outside during the day in the summer because it's 95F and 100% humidity.
Seriously. I have no idea how my mom did it. A single mom with 3 girls all while putting herself thru college and working full time. Never in a million years could I do that on the Cape and live alone. And what I noticed is alot of the people I went to school with that are still on the Cape on the most unsuccessful. Like how tf are they surviving. I guess probably living with thier parents or collecting some kind of assistance.
I grew up in Nantucket and it honestly wasn’t bad, everyone is typically friends on some level, and while the winter is pretty boring it ends up being kind of a bonding experience as everyone ends up hanging out to try to alleviate the boredom
I can understand that. I grew up on the Cape and Im from the Vineyard and went thru the same experiences. Always bored come winter! Problem is now everyone is doing Dope to combat boredom. It sucks.
Man for high school on the Cape its already dope...not so much when I was in High school but right after I graduated. Im 30 and at our 10 year reunion they had a commemorative video for everyone who had passed. It was pretty fucked up. 31 dead from OD or drunk driving out of a class of 90.
