p-town

short for Provincetown. a shore-side town on Cape Cod, known for its large, rather vibrant gay community, many interesting shops and galleries, ridiculously crowded streets in summer, and many quaint/quirky little cape-style houses. it's lots of fun, but more enjoyable off-season when the tourists aren't as numerous.
