It's Been a Long Time Comin'
If you were lucky enough to be in Provincetown at the end of July this year, maybe you witnessed the raising of the Library's 25-ton belfry.
A huge red crane, capable of lifting 45 tons, was secured on Commercial Street to do the job.
Scores of townsfolk turned out to see the raising, including locals Cynthia Bargar and her hubby Nick, who took the 8 am ferry from Boston just in time to hurry up and wait.
And wait. And wait. The belfry didn't move an inch until almost 2 pm. And it was a hot day!
