Center of Provincetown mid 20th century

This colorful vintage postcard was mailed to Troy, New York  the summer of 1951 and says, “This is really wonderful here. Just finished a shore dinner.”.  Look closely at this picture and you will see the sign for “The Lobster Pot” restaurant in the very same spot it is today 62 years later, although the sign does look different. Wonder if that is where “Mary, Jack, and Jimmy” enjoyed their shore dinner.
