Headin' Down The Cape Hoodie It's a phrase that's uniquely New England, and a grammatical nightmare. If you're going to Cape Cod to spend the summer, or even just for the weekend, when someone asks your plans, you're "Headin' Down the Cape". Directions don't matter, either. Whether you're north, south, east or west of everyone's favorite summer peninsula, you're going "Down the Cape". Starting from Western Mass, Rhode Island, or French Guiana, you're all headed "Down the Cape". That's just how it is, I don't make the rules. Grab this tee and tell everyone your vacation plans with this hoodie.
