North Pamet Road no longer completes its circuit with its sibling.  Only foot-powered traffic travels this thoroughfare.  This last little dune is all that stands between us and the ocean.  Grasses hold the sand as well as they can.  This may be part of the beach in a few years, and there will again be bikes at the roadside.

The face of Cape Cod is changing just as it is across the country, perhaps even the world. New construction, however, is altering how things are developing. Mass production provided the raw building materials like wood, steel, and glass, but now whole panels and complete façades are constructed totally offsite and shipped in. The styles of many modern buildings are replicated around the region as new designs while only altering the configuration of the pieces.

The intersection of Old Main Street and Rt. 28 in the Bass River section of South Yarmouth is a place that has seen constant change. The oncoming road once terminated at this very spot rather than continuing its path toward Hyannis. We’re not in control of the roads forward, but we will travel them. We can only hope that the people who reshape our environment have the vision to honor and enhance the aesthetic and the mythos of Cape Cod.
