While it was not open to explore, it was still really cool to see the outside of where the movie was filmed - the Halloween party that Max and Dani's parents attend.

As it turned out, we were in Provincetown the following weekend when gay comedian Matteo Lane was appearing. It wasn't cheap, almost $120 for two seats in the balcony. We lined up on the grounds around the historic building and waited about an hour before they let us in. Entering the cavernous hall, I felt like I was in one of those late show movies where the suspicious townsfolk would be listening to a boyish Jimmy Stewart begging for their support for some cause like a new fire engine. Chairs were set up in long rows, and the acoustics were quite good. We could hear Matteo's punchlines pretty clearly from the balcony. The decidedly old-fashioned place really fits the small town vibe even if it's on busy Commercial Street. RELATED - Exploring Provincetown?

I have always gotten balcony seats and it's a great view from up on the second or third floor. The Town Hall is beautiful on the inside and out. They always have the best musicians come whether they're vocalists, pianists, violinists, etc. Sometimes they'll have famous award-winning performers. I always look forward to seeing a performance. They have bathrooms accessible and easy to find as well. After a performance, you'll also more than likely be able to find souvenirs sold by the entrance/exit. They always have the most talented guests come and perform.

I wouldn't say they were friendly but were still very professional and direct when I came here to get my parking permits for my movers arriving in a van.

We were there to get a domestic partnership (not a marriage. Lets be clear) because since Health insurance is required now (gripe mumble gripe) well you know. Anyway, since my company is national, they offer health benies to domestic partners. Thus we found ourselves at City Hall. We walked in. No Line... We were helped right away and with a smile..... We filled out the paperwork, raised our right hand, said we were telling the truth, and didn't have to show any documentation whatsoever........ We were in and out in 5 minutes. WHAT?!?!?! Not complaining, just baffled. The clerk also told us that our license/documentation or whatever would be in the mail tomorrow, but we'll see if that happens. So now we are happily partnered in domesticity, I didn't waste my entire day, we both have all our fingers and health insurance in case we do lose one. Sweet. EDIT: Our paperwork did indeed arrive that Saturday, and retains its 5 star rating.

Henry and Mark…read more The Fairhaven Town Hall is a stunning building that sits just across the street from the equally stunning town library. Both buildings were gifts from Henry Rogers, the very, very, very, very wealthy businessman who spent summers in Fairhaven. The building was opened in1894 and is constructed in the French Gothic Style. Huge, ornate, and resplendent, the building dominates the center of the small town. The inside is as wonderful as the outside with oak paneling, stain glass windows and lovely pictures everywhere. At one time the building also held the post office, police station and even a jail inside but now is mostly restricted to administrative offices and the usual town hall stuff. One the second floor is an amazing auditorium that held dances, plays, concerts and all kind of cool events. Mark Twain, who was a close buddy of Henry Rodgers, entertained here as well as other famous actors and musicians. The town hall has a lot of cool history and is an amazing building that continues to serve the community. Stunning inside and out, the building remains a very useful and beautiful gift from a very, very, very, very generous man.

As with most employees that collect a paycheck from the Town of Weymouth, everyone in this building…read moregoes out of their way to avoid lifting a finger. Any time you call for anything, they'll find a way to explain the work away or tell you it's your problem. Whether it's potholes, garbage collection missing your street, 18-wheelers going up residential streets and unloading at 3 AM, or the constant sediment in the water/water shutdowns. Most recently, I called DPW to report two dead trees that pose a safety concern (listed in Weymouth's laws at Section 8-601) and after having to explain to the interrupting woman (Denni) for the 50th time that I wasn't calling about overhanging limbs, she told me she would contact the "Town Arborist" who she said has no contact info because "he's always in the field" (I can only imagine the amount of work this person is doing on our tax dollars). She then called me back to tell me "they can do whatever they want on private property." What a statement. If the Mystery Arborist actually exists, I'm sure he never left his barstool. I then called the Mayor's Secretary (Jeanne) who kept telling me "all you have to do is Google and call them" despite me having said repeatedly the business is owned by an investment company that uses a dead (fake) phone number. Not to mention the whole point is the TOWN should be the ones to notify them, not random citizens. I don't know where they find these useless dropouts, but god help you if you ever have to call anyone in this building for anything important. They are guaranteed to do nothing. Everyone in Weymouth Town Hall should be fired and replaced with people that are willing to work.
