Poor Peter Cottontail. Run down in his prime in front of Richdale’s in East Gloucester.
That’s gotta suck.
You do all that work passing out candy and presents to kids and then when it’s time to chill out and kick back til next year BAM! out of nowhere some prick runs your ass over.

Strangely, outside of the minute I get home and The Bean comes running to give me kisses and hugs, the early morning drive to work is one of my favorite times of the day.
There is rarely anyone out driving and I feel like I own the streets. Take my drive around the waterfront to see if there is any activity on the docks. It’s nothing like it used to be even 10 years ago when the places like ours used to be jumping at 4:00AM trying to get boats unloaded so we could get the fish to Boston to make the day’s market. Now the docks are mostly dark. A majority of the fish that gets landed does so during the day at the Auction so there isn’t that pumping of sounds and sights like it used to be.
That’s all fine, I enjoy the peacefulness of it all, having the place mostly to myself for the brief ride in to work.

It was just as good as the first time, and ridiculously cheap.
We’ll be back.
Oh, and by the way that’s Billy’s big banza in the picture, not mine. HA!

Updated Cape Ann Gas Prices
I updated the Cape Ann Gas Prices Website this morning. Updated were 6 stations, if others pass by Willow Rest, Tally’s on Essex Ave,or Fosters on Eastern Ave, jot down the prices if you would and update the site. It’s useful and informative especially when there are wide swings in the prices from station to station.
The last time I updated prices was 2 weeks ago and pretty much all the stations stayed at the same prices since then except one went down by 2 pennies and another by 10 cents.
The two Richdale’s self serve stations continue to be the cheapest gas around but only by two cents of a centrally located gas station which is full serve. For some people 2 cents a gallon might be enough incentive to get out and pump your own gas but for only 40 cents savings on a twenty gallon fill up in the cold weather we’ve been having I’ll take the full serve.
Check out the site and update it if you get a chance- Cape Ann Gas Prices Website

Cruiseport Construction Update 3/22/08
Cruiseport Construction Update 3/22/08, originally uploaded by captjoe06.New foundation being poured at Cruiseport Gloucester. I wonder what the new building will house.
I don’t know why the building wasn’t angled to face the outer harbor but I’m sure the people that designed it are much smarter than me and must have had a reason for it.

George’s Coffee Shop -I’ll Be Back
George’s Coffee shop represents everything that is right about Gloucester restaurants compared to the chain joints you find in 99% of the rest of the country. Founded in the early 1900’s and staying true to it’s roots the place oozes history. The food is actually very creative for an old school joint. Dean Salah who runs the place is on top of everything.
I got the Breakfast Cups which are crispy potato cups filled with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and bacon, with salsa and sour cream on the side. It also came with a choice of toast. I opted for the sweet bread and it was thick and delicious. As full as I was I would have made room for more of that bread.
The only thing surpassing the food and value was the five star service. Dean obviously runs a tight ship, but these girls were fantastic. The girls working the floor must share tips because every time they walked by I had my coffee filled or asked if I needed anything or how was my meal. It was a different girl every time and they were all very pleasant and efficient, never looking overwhelmed, which at some places it drives me nuts. I’ll be back.
