The face of Cape Cod is changing just as it is across the country, perhaps even the world. New construction, however, is altering how things are developing. Mass production provided the raw building materials like wood, steel, and glass, but now whole panels and complete façades are constructed totally offsite and shipped in. The styles of many modern buildings are replicated around the region as new designs while only altering the configuration of the pieces.<br /><br />The intersection of Old Main Street and Rt. 28 in the Bass River section of South Yarmouth is a place that has seen constant change. The oncoming road once terminated at this very spot rather than continuing its path toward Hyannis. We’re not in control of the roads forward, but we will travel them. We can only hope that the people who reshape our environment have the vision to honor and enhance the aesthetic and the mythos of Cape Cod.
