Gloucester Perspectives- Chris At The Lone Gull

Chris, one of The Lone Gull regulars tells us why Gloucester is home.

Plum Cove Grind

I stopped by “the Grind” last weekend while in Lanesville.  What a find this little joint is!

Plum Cove Grind is to Lanesville what Last Stop Variety is to East Gloucester.  I had one of the most delicious sandwiches I’ve ever eaten from here.  It was a tuna sandwich but it also had (I think) candied walnuts and cranberries)  not sure what else was in the sandwich but it was excellent!  I mean EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!

You just gotta try it.  It’s worth the ride.

Downtown Block Party #2 Info

We cleared the first step with the liquor licensing board last night with a 3-0 yes vote pending  City Counsel giving their blessing.

If approved by City Counsel it will include another block, from  Pleasant Street intersection down through the West End.

We will have 5 different slideshow/movies.  Dun, and Jim B will be featured along with the work of Mark Teiwes, and a presentation by Chad Carlberg from Bait and Tackle Productions. (I may have a short movie in there as well)

I’ll let you know more as the info comes in.

Lane’s Cove Shack

Anyone know the history behind this shack at Lane’s Cove?  I’d love for someone to do a guest post detailing it’s history here.

There’s been a bunch of squid mixed in with the bait fish lately.  They’re delicious fried up.

Gloucester Perspectives- Katie Fontana President Of The Mother Of Grace Club

I stopped by the Mother of Grace Club to speak with the women who keep the tradition alive. I hope younger generations continue it. The Mother of Grace novenas are another thing that makes our community special -our faith.

While the Saint Joseph’s novenas pray for the safety of our fishermen, the Mother of Grace Club prays for peace.

Susie Byrd the woman who we consider one of the best back men in the business makes incredible art by fusing glass together.  I don’t know exactly how it works but the results are visually stunning.
