Here’s What You Say

Good Harbor Beach 4:55AM 5/6/08, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

When someone wants to force the teen pregnancy story down your throat to tell you how horrible a place Gloucester is, ask them where they live.

Then when they tell you Plaineville USA, ask them if they have a Schooner Festival there.

Then ask them if they have the Horribles parade and as many fireworks displays throughout the year that we have.

Then ask them if they have a beach that compares to Good Harbor, Wingersheek or Niles.

Then ask them if they can name their neighbors that live more than one house away from them.

Then ask them if they have the number of killer little mom and pop places to eat around their town instead of the generic chains.

Then ask them how many people they recognize when they walk into the local coffee shop if they even have a local coffee shop.

Then ask them if have the Dory Races and an ability to pay $50 for yearlong use of a Grand Banks Dory with a tie up spot on the water.

Then ask them if they can launch a small boat or kayak from a public landing in their town.

Then ask them if they can walk down to just about any spot on the harbor and take pictures or enjoy a sandwich watching the boats go by.

Then ask if they have an arts community that is one tenth as strong as ours.

An intimate setting, make reservations early if you want to eat here. The place fills up for a reason- the killer food that Ken and Nicole prepare in the heart of East Gloucester.

Cuckoo Charlie and His Quest For Gold

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

This is Charlie.

Charlie believes he knows where there is a sunken treasure off of Manchester that holds $500,000,000 dollars worth of gold. He believes this and will start his quest to find this gold once he has this boat ready.

Good luck Charlie. I hope you find it.

So you can laugh at everyone that calls you nuts behind your back.

side note: If Charlie ever corners you in a bar for a conversation, run like the dickens. If he get’s your ear you’re doomed. Run. Trust me on this one.  Charlie is a nice guy but he tends to talk right up in your grill in about ten decibels higher than your normal human being.

Gloucester City Hall Restoration Sponsored By Trojan Brand Condoms?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hey, what do you think about this idea presented to me by lobsterman Mark Ring. He tells me that the shroud that covers the City Hall tower looks like a big green condom when he looks at it from the harbor while hauling traps.

We turn lemons into lemonade and sell naming rights for the City Hall Restoration project to Trojan Brand Condoms. They could market new big huge green condoms that look like the shroud that covers City Hall right now. We could get the expensive project completely taken care of with a few timely banner ads.

Maybe another birth control pill company might sponsor the other side and we could get the sewer project paid for too. With all the media exposure those pharmaceutical companies would surely jump at the chance at that advertising opportunity! Now that’s some outside the box thinking right there!

In case any of you are wondering, no I’m not serious.
