- Tourism is down in Provincetown. Over the Fourth of July Weekend, all sectors of business reported weak performance. Retail, restaurant, transportation (ferry, bus and plane), entertainment, art galleries and hotels overwhelmingly concur that the combination of the poor economy and rainy weather in June has impacted Provincetown.
- The town sewer backed up over the Fourth of July weekend and created a mess along the entire length of Commercial Street. Homes and businesses were awash in raw sewage. It even seeped out of manhole covers. Beaches were closed, businesses impacted and some renters had to switch their accommodations at the expense of the owners. There has been a huge loss in revenue due to this incident. It is reported that a cell phone flushed down the toilet in the East end triggered a valve failure which caused the system to back up. The town has disinfected the streets with bleach.
- 14 arrests were made over the 4th of July weekend. 12 males and two females were arrested for disorderly conduct and assaulting an office. One incident involved a knife attack in the Stop and Shop parking lot.
- The Secret Garden Tour will take place this weekend from 10AM-3PM. The tour will guide walkers to 12 secret gardens in Provincetown. The cost is $30.
