2017 HN TOURISM VIDEO: Visit downtown Hyannis, watch us scrape up...

HN Notes: As you will see in the following video, a local 54-year-old man suddenly fell victim to powerful gravitational forces in our downtown area this evening. The stricken man was “unable to ambulate” after his knees stiffened up…

… reportedly because he had a “couple of drinks” too many.

According to sources, tonight’s tumble in the North Street parking lot (behind the BBC Restaurant) was not because of foul play or criminal monkey business, but just the routine effects of alcohol mixed with gravitational pull.

Am I wrong to assume these all-day-long downtown sights are something our visitors actually love to see? I say that because the powers that be continue to pack our downtown neighborhoods with homeless shelters, needle exchanges, and an abundance of other social service agencies designed to attract and help those suffering from allergies to gravity and other issues which make laying prostrate on our sidewalks the logical solution.

I personally don’t see the attraction. But being a team player, I will continue to document these sights.

But in all seriousness, I’m still not sure why the Town of Barnstable chooses to have these images as the first that many tourists will unfortunately witness when visiting here.

I do know for a fact, however, and have experienced this as a life-long resident of the downtown area, these sights have steadily increased over the recent years and are directly proportional to the number of so-called “solutions” added to our neighborhoods.

In other words, keep building these “solutions” here and theses sights will continue to increase…

By the way, those Hytonians who have stuck it out over the years are definitely not NIMBY, but perhaps completely crazy according to the popular definition, “insanity is doing the same things over and over again, and expecting different results.”

I just recently witnessed the inner harbor high tide flood over the Ocean Street Docks into the parking lots, causing me to wonder about the possibility of an all-new high water mark.

I think that’s what we’re witnessing here in Hyannis, daily all-new “high water marks” in terms of social services… along with the spectacles that come with those services…

For many residents, we’ve reached the saturation point. Our lives have become completely inundated with these sights and we’re tired of shooting up futile flares, awaiting relief that never shows…

But perhaps I should also consider the “bright side,” that these ever-rising high water marks will make for a shorter daily HN commute.
