Provincetown. It's the best town on the Cape.

It also has (or had) a dancing traffic cop...he used to do the Macarena in the middle of the street. That was quite a few years ago though, so I'm not sure if he's still there.

There are a whole bunch of little shops around there, so my mom used to drag the whole family out there whenever we used to go to the Cape during the summer.

My favorite was Cher on a motorized scooter, but that's just me.
