Why I Like Falmouth!

There is a lot to like about Falmouth, MA, but tonight I appreciate one aspect of living in this seaside community on the upper part of Cape Cod.

Yes, it's easy to like Falmouth because it has more miles of coastline that any other town on the Cape, it has great beaches, a vibrant business community, a rich arts scene, or an outstanding school system. But the aspect of Falmouth that I am appreciating at the moment is its location on the upper Cape and its proximity to off-Cape cities like Boston and Providence.

An evening in either city is just over an hour away. It's great be able to enjoy the "big-time" amenities that can only be found in large cities, and then escape the hustle and bustle by driving over the bridge and returning home.

A few years ago the Chamber of Commerce launched a campaign to promote the town that included bumper stickers proclaiming: "Isn't Falmouth Nice?"

I would have to answer "yes."
