We came to purchase a dump sticker for a family member and overall were dissapointed by the rude staff. This time around the experience was very different in a good way. I stopped in this afternoon to purchase our beach stickers. The staff at the front desk was polite and when I got to the window I needed the cashiers were also very pleasant. One of our registrations still had our old address and they went out of their way to look up our information to provide us the sticker. In the end, I'm happy with the visit and hope that this track record continues. The only dissapointment with this town hall is that it can be incredibly tough to get them on the phone.

What a wonderful corner of America this is. Not cheap, in fact quite expensive, but gorgeous, right by the water, lots of boats, and somewhere I'd consider living myself.

Stones clocks and…read morespirals The Swansea Town Hall is a lovely old building constructed in 1890. It is a very vertical looking structure made from local field stones. A stunning and lovely sight to anyone that loves old stone architecture. The stones are rough and of different types and colors. Gives the building such a cool texture and look. With it's very narrow and vertical shape it reminds me of an miniature version of a medieval cathedral. The huge but not functioning clock almost looks like a giant eye peering out of the top. The inside is surprisingly small due to the narrow space. Just a bunch of administrative offices and people going about doing their jobs. Everyone was pleasant and friendly and enjoyed talking about the great place they worked. I did find a cool spiral staircase that led upstairs but it was just for storage and all the doors were locked. Not even sure they was a way to get to the very top. It didn't matter. The glory of this grand old building is seen from the outside. A town hall to savor and appreciate. Their kind will not be built again.

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.

A present from a…read more fairy godmother The Elizabeth Taber Library was a gift from a woman that became known as the Fairy Godmother of the town of Marion. She was a very wealthy widow with no children that decided her money should go to the enrichment of her hometown. She not only had the library built in 1872 but also was instrumental in the building of the town hall, music hall and the Tabor Academy. The academy is curious because if you look closely you will notice that it is spelled Tabor and not Taber because Elizabeth wanted it named after Mount Tabor from the bible and not her own name. The library that was built is a lovely Victorian building that also has a small natural history museum upstairs which is of course another gift from the fairy godmother. The library is old and relativity small but does have a few computers, wi-fi and other modern amenities. The library was expanded in the year two thousand to include a pleasant children's area but the real treasure of this library is the wonderful librarian working there. On the libraries web site they claim that they will try to answer any question that you might have and they really mean it. The librarian we met was incredible knowledgeable about the town and history and really went out of her way to answer our stupid questions and make us feel welcome and at home. Certainly not a large amount of books or other materials compared to newer libraries but having such a great librarian more than makes us for that. This is a library that Elizabeth would be proud of.

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.
