The tail back used to be around 6 hours..they took out the roundabout so its easier to get on and off Cape...but not many locals try it..we spend most of the summer on the beaches we can walk too and in our back gardens..I thought it was for all the first weekend..that still seemed a lot...it does make me wonder if the reporter got it wrong..
Not sure if it will be the same this year...we went to the Mall Sunday and it was empty..I've never seen it like that on the weekends..even with the first good beach weather..you are hard pressed to find a parking space all summer...I don't use the Mall we mostly use the car park as a short cut..but went in it and a lot of the shops are gone..they are filled up with crazy golf and Amusements.
