Thanks Donna for submitting this pic.  I’m bringing back the “It Doesn’t Suck” series in your honor!

Failed Gloucester Landing Proposal at I4 C2

Compare the public access we would have had instead of the fenced off field of weeds that is there now.   Could you imagine the farmers market in this courtyard, how awesome that would be?  With the parking for it tucked away underneath?  All built with private dollars and not taxpayers, but instead increasing our tall rolls?

God for-freakin-bid!

Good Morning Lobster

Ok…I went out last night,  listened to some music, had a couple of beers.

Got up this morning.  Opened the fridge to get OJ. Jumped out of my skin as this guy reached out and scared the crap outta me.

I’ll get my revenge later….at dinner time.    —Sharon

Paul Frontiero Delivered The Fundraising T Shirts This Morning

Paul brought the first batch of T Shirts for the fundraising effort to benefit the Children of Matteo Russo.  They came out great.  I’ll be here at the dock this morning if you would like to pick one up.  100% of the money goes to the family.   I’d also like to thank the kind folks at Brown’s Yacht yard who bought 14 shirts.  You can come down the dock to pick one up in the early morning or come to the Guerilla Art Project at The Cape Ann Community Cinema (Gloucester Stage Co) this coming wednesday night for the event.
