Cape Cod’s first adult-use retail marijuana dispensary opened today in Provincetown. Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. is located at 170 Commercial Street in the heart of Ptown under Joe’s Coffee.
For now, the store’s hours of operation will be 10AM to 6PM, Monday through Saturday and from 10AM to 5PM on Sunday. However, store hours will expand from 9AM to 9PM during the summer season.
I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
I am still suffering from post vacation blues after enjoying a prolonged holiday last month so I wanted to share this Instagram account, Wonderful Ecuador, which features some amazing photography and provides a great distraction.

The newspaper, Cambridge Day, reported this week that the live music venue and nightclub complex in Central Square has been put up for sale. The Middle East which first opened in the early 1960s has been a haven for local and up and coming musicians for decades. I have seen countless shows over the years at this venue and some of my favorite concerts took place at the Middle East downstairs. In recent years, gay dance nights have popped up providing the LGBTQ community with another venue following the closure of Cambridge’s only full-time gay bar, Paradise, in the fall of 2018.
The Middle East, Sonia’s (some of you may recall for many years it was TT the Bears) and neighboring Zuzu’s are intimate venues that will be missed if the venue sells and new owners decide they can get more money converting the space into something else. At this point there really isn’t much information other than the asking price for the complex is rumored to be $40M.
You can read the full article here: Middle East nightclub complex listed for sale
I don’t recall seeing this guy when we stayed at the Hotel Gaythering in South Beach. Perhaps we should return so we can meet and become best friends.
Apparently this guy prefers his coffee naked.
ADAM & ANDY is set in the fictional New England town of Woodfield, CT. You can learn more about Adam and Andy and purchase a copy of “the definitive collection of Adam and Andy” by visiting, adamandandy.com.

Probably too cold to be wearing short shorts like this guy but still plenty to tempt you if you head out this weekend including New England’s largest gay ski party which is in full swing up in Stowe VT at Winter Rendezvous 2020.
Closer to home there are plenty of options including one last The BACK ROOM party at the Middle East on Friday, Dont Ask Dont Tell anniversary party and So Hot Saturdaes: Onesie Party both on Saturday. Close out your weekend with a number of options but I’d like to give a shout out to Bears, Brews & Boys at Dorchester Brewing Company.
