People will pick on the tiniest things...in my Cape Cod home town my family had three strikes against them in most peoples eyes...
1) we were NORTHERN Italian *gasp* (all the other Italians in town were Neopolitan or Sicilian)

2) my parents were a "mixed marriage" - catholic and protestant

3) My mother was a "newcomer" - (still is after 55 years)

and then of course they had the bad taste to use natal facilities that were "off cape", preventing their children from EVER being "true" Cape Codders.

if there aren't divisions, seems some people will make them. it would be silly if it weren't so sad.

I'll shut up now.
