A nearly abandoned town on the Atlantic Coast. Prior to the opening of the Confederation Bridge to PEI it was a booming town due to the ferry service running to PEI which provided many jobs for the people and helped its economy. When the bridge was finished and opened in 1997 the ferry service was shut down and over 600 people lost their jobs as a result. Faced with no jobs most people were forced to leave the town and find employment elsewhere. Most of the ferry terminal and wharf structures were dismantled as well as most of the buildings in the town except for a few which are slowly decaying. It is essentially a ghost town now except for the last holdouts,fishermen and a crumbling wharf and a few buildings left to tell of what once was.

A person who buys $12,000 worth of Home Depot cards hoping to earn points with his boss. This person is too dumb to realize that it is not his boss asking him to purchase the cards. He then is so dumb as to scratch and take pictures of the pin numbers to send to his "boss".

Get the Cape Coral Idiot mug.small peninsula off massachusetts that sucks money out of tourists and retired millionaires to survive, since the traditional fishing industry is slowly dying - native cod all but wiped out. beautiful beaches protected by the government since the 1950's, but that meant the locals had to give up their beach camps. basically we hate tourists but without them we'd be totally impoverished. there is nothing for kids to do so most of them destroy their brains with drugs & alcohol. everyone says they're going to leave but never manage it and stay working as a landscaper/fisherman/carpenter/waitress/cashier etc. the winters are horrible and in the summer tourists are everywhere. real estate is too expensive for anyone to have a nice house. all the land not protected by federal government is being gobbled up by rich people from far away who want to live "out in the boonies". cape cod has conservative strongholds like chatham in the south ("a quaint drinking town with a fishing problem") and liberal strongholds like provincetown, mecca for artists and homosexuals, in the north. primarily white, but recently there's been an influx of brazilians. the predominant subculture is punk, since we're all so angry at our lives but can't do anything about it. people who leave tend to stay gone. local slang includes "wicked" meaning extremely, "pisser" meaning awesome, and "wash-ashore" for someone whose family hasn't lived on cape cod for more than, say, 50 years or so...
tourist: cape cod is so beautiful and peaceful!
local: *gags*
"cape cod specialties: clam chowdah, lobstah rolls and fried clams!"

Get the cape girls mug.The mother city, where its at. From the ANC to the MCQP, from Telkom to Eskom (and all the other service providers that have let us down). Cape Town was one of the, if not the, first colonial cities in South Africa. It grosses millions worth of tourism profits and has a rich environment, history and culture. The city's current mayor is DA politician Helen Zille. All Cape Townians are in a battle to the death to prove that Joburgers are the worse drivers of the two.
Joburger: You Cape Townians drive like Ray Charles having a seizure
Cape Townian: At least we drive, unlike Joburgers who just point their cars and pray...
