It seems to me there used to be a lot more mail boxes around than there are now.  You don't see too many like the one pictured here anymore.  This one is sill in service and has regular collection times

Town Crier

Provincetown, MA

From what I understand, when the Pilgrims first came to America aboard the Mayflower, they first arrived at Provincetown and for some reason, decided not to stay.  We all know from grade school that the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, which is across the bay from Provincetown and established their colony there.   Nevertheless, Provincetown still feels a strong connection with these first settlers.  This "Pilgrim" was seen walking up and down the main street with a large bell, bellowing, "All is well in Provincetown.... All is well in Provincetown, because YOU are here!!!"  He was quite friendly and talking to all the tourists.

Over the Labor Day weekend I visited Provincetown, MA, a very interesting and colorful town at the far northern tip of Cape Cod.  By shear coincidence fellow Connecticut blogger, Jack, author of the very fine blog Naples and Hartford in Season had also recently visited Provincetown and posted a picture of this very sign in his blog the day after I photographed the same sign.  You can see his photos of Provincetown here.  I guess great minds think alike.... or we've both been following each other's blog too long!
