6 reasons living on the Cape is underrated

EVERYONE loves to give me shit.  “What are you doing there???”…”why are you living on the Cape?”… “you need to move.”  blah blah bleh. I could go on for hours about the constant bitching and unwarranted advice.. oh yeah, did I mention this ONE “why aren’t you working in the oceanography field?”

Well guess what you BETCHES

And sometimes you end up on a gigantic sand bar

Here are 6 legit reasons living YEAR-ROUND on the Cape does not suck:

 

1. We live where you vacation

Didn’t the guidos in Jersey Shore invent this phrase? LIVE BY IT.

2. The temperate climate

Because the Cape is surrounded by ocean, the climate is significantly more moderate on the Cape. Remember reading about the urban heat island in geography class? That shit is real!!

Boston: 85°F            Cape Cod: 68°F

3.  The ocean

Feel stressed out or just want to relax? Walk the beach. Plus having it all to yourself in the off-season is not too shabby.

4. The architecture

Cape Cod Stylerich people house 2

Cape Cod style homes are all the rage. When I lived in LA, I couldn’t walk 5 feet in Brentwood without seeing one. Which leads me to…..is there anything better than a quaint Cape Cod style home???? HOLD HERE…I’ll wait.

5. Cranberries

Bogs are EVERYWHERE! Watch these nutrient packed “craneberries” grow all summer, come falltime, witness the magic that is harvest, and when the bogs are flooded in the winter, enjoy an outdoor skating rink (if global warming would chill the f out)! YES

People like to call year-round Cape Codders townies. I like to call them snobs. Living in one place all year is normal, having multiple properties is not.

Here’s to adopting a new, more realistic mindset. 🍷🍷🍷
