By Cynthia Cole ccbid@cape.com It's not hard to get a little depressed this time of year. It's dark more than it'slight. The sidewalks aren't as bus- tling; some of the stores have closed for the season and it'sjust plain cold. Thank goodness for the restaurants and pubs that provide a gathering place on these dark nights and the cafes that offer up coffee and croissants on these bleak Cape Cod mornings; the merchants and art galleries that welcome patrons in every day all year round; the Sturgis School and its vital teenagers who burst onto the street at noon and spread energy around the place for several blocks; the businesses and their employees who step out to go to the post office, run an errand or grab some lunch; the Hyannis Library, which is amecca for children, students and readers of all ages; and the town offices, which have made Main Street its campus. We are glad for all we have going on, and that includes projects that a year ago were still under construction, supposed to be finished in a year, still in the pipeline as they say. One year later, they are real. The rehab and redevelopment of 615 Main Street (re- membered by some as the Hyannis Cinema and others as Guido Murphy 's) . Thisisno longer apipe dream,no longer under construction; it is complete - luxury condos and an upscale restaurant , HannaH. All beautifully finished and landscaped , people living in their new homes, their cars parked in the garage. Condos and a new site for Harry 's was in the pipeline. Now the shovel is about to go into the ground , replacing blight with 29 townhouses and a new site for Harry's at the corner of Main and Stevens streets. While we waited for a very long time for the site at the corner of Newton and South to be rebuilt (formerly Villa Vecchione),Shane Pacheco has the foundation in and the walls up. Right next door Carlos Barbosa is expanding his successful business and rebuilding his office building. Just down the road apiece next to the Road House Cafe at the corner of Sea and Main , David Colombo is rehabbing the old gas station in what promises to be a very snazzy building and home to a very snazzy clothing boutique. Even Dunkin'Donuts is getting a big facelift. All of these projects are within 600 feet of each other. And there are more exciting projects going on east of this block. But we are out of ink, as they say, so we will continue our report next month. lUliltlJUbdiUiXiUilu CONTRIBUTED PHOTO BEST IN THE NATION - Wendy Mullin, office administrator for Cape Cod Mall, is congratulated by Richard S.

Gay and lesbian families, group tours, meeting travelers among target niches By David Curran dcurran@barnstablepatriot.com REACHINGOUT- "I can't tell youhow many articles have been written in marketing magazines about the gay and lesbiancommunity over the past three or four years as adistinct niche really worth going after," said Art Canter,presidentandchiefexecutive officer of the Massachusetts Lodging Association. The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce is making an effort to attract touring gay and lesbian families to these shores. The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce is looking to expand its reach by narrow- ing its focus. The Chamber this year is expanding its cooperative advertising program to tar- get nichemarkets, according to Kristen McMenamy, vice president of tourism and marketing, and one of the first is gay and lesbian fami- lies in the Northeast. The cooperative program allows Chamber members to advertise together in publications they might not be able to afford separately. In the past, the program has focused on the general leisure travel market, she said, with the Massachu- setts Lodging Association's twice-yearly Great Escapes magazine among the publi- cations used. Thisyear,for the first time, the association is publishing Great Gay Escapes , a full- color glossy magazine to be distributed by direct mail in March to 24,000 gay and lesbian households in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. "I can't tell you how many articles have been written in marketingmagazines about the gay and lesbian commu- nity over the past three or four years as adistinct niche reallyworth goingafter,"said Art Canter, president and chief executive officer of the association. He said a $1 million campaign in 2004 pro- moting Philadelphia as a gay-friendly destina- tion led the association to thinkMassachusetts, with what he called three "hubs" - Boston, Northampton and Prov- incetown, each with a substantial resident gay population and its own distinct character and charm as a travel desti- nation -would appeal to the same demographic. "Why not take advan- tage of the incredible resources that we have here and really promote them together as a state- wide market?" he asked. The association tapped DavidZimmerman,former CONTINUED ON PAGE A:10 Cape Chamber sharpening its aim Owners not 'board' of Main Street By Heather M. Wysocki news@barnbstablepatriot.com READY TO RIDE - The Boarding House Surf Shop willstill hang in the same part of Hyannis's Main Street, but will take new, larger quarters next month in the former Nantucket Trading Co. space farther west. Surfers,skateboarders and snowboard- ers are known for making awe-inspiring moves on the water,the cement, andthe snow.And now, a Hyannis business that sells these boards is making the right move as well. In early February,Paul Savini, owner of the BoardingHouse Surf Shop, willmove the store from its current location at 302 Main Street to a larger one at 354 Main Street , the former home of Nantucket Trading Co. "Abusinessisgoingout, unfortunately, and someone 's got to take the space," he said.
