After becoming a fishing and whaling center, and bolstered by immigration especially from <strong>Portugal</strong>, beginning in the late 19th and early 20th centuries it started attracting both artists and a certain element of the leisure class of the day. Then in the 1960s and 70s it was hippies and homos. These days the </span><strong>P’town</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> tourism economy is firmly established, with most accommodations of the small, quaint, guesthouse variety. The gay/LGBTQ scene is still going strong, with attendant nightlife with old standbys like </span><strong>Atlantic House, </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">aka </span><strong>A-House</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> (shown here, and built way back in 1789!!, whose dance floor is pictured here), but the beaches, streets, and restaurants like </span><strong>The Lobster Pot</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> are also full of families, couples, and seniors. It’s all very postmodern 21st-century <strong>Massachusetts</strong> indeed – queer-firendly-small-town edition.</span></p>
