The Bog Beckons on a Sunny Sunday

On a cranberry expedition, being small has its advantages

By Kaimi Rose Lum Nov 27, 2019

Atlantic to the left, Race Point behind us, we hauled our buckets and baskets and red and yellow plastic beach pails over dune-tops, into hollows, and along the overgrown sand road to the cranberry bog.

Provincetown’s Master Storyteller

Beata Cook steals the show with tales of gay life in the ’40s

Beata cook reads her grandmother's journal.

PROVINCETOWN — Bartender, bullet maker, bookkeeper — Beata Cook has been all these things. Not necessarily in that order. But who cares about chronology when you’re listening to a master raconteur?
