Passports Seafood Mariscos
I’m not one to mix up my seafood in one dish. If I’m gonna have shrimp in my pasta, I don’t want lobster in there too. If I’m gonna have lobster newburg I only want lobster, not scallops too.
I’m crazy like that though. I know plenty of friends of mine that when we go to Passports have to get this dish every time.

Dillon, Assistant Brewer At Cape Ann Brewing
Here is Dillon, the assistant Brewer and manager of the front of the house at Cape Ann Brewing in Fort Square. Not often do you see bar managers wearing rubber boots, but when said bar manager is actually producing the beer you are about to consume it all makes sense.

Looking For Old Yearbook Photos For These Pages
If anyone has any old GHS yearbooks, I would love for you to send in any up close pictures of interesting local people for posting on these pages.
Preferably people that many of us would know or GMG readers.
This could be a regular GMG feature. If you have any and would like to contribute, leave a comment on this post with your email address. I have to approve all comments so don’t worry I won’t post the comment you leave me with your email address in it, it would just be so that I could contact you on where to send in the digital yearbook photos.

Gravestone in Backyard
We’ve been doing some research on this small gravestone in our rental property on Wall St. It has it’s own raised up plot with a wall surrounding the built-up area. And it’s level with the kitchen window, so every morning we’re face to face with Maria.
We’ve asked the landlord and he thinks it may have been a pet, but pets don’t usually have first and last names or live for 85 or so years.
The engraving is somewhat difficult to read unless the light is just right. What I think it says is “Maria Niemi y26-6-1842 t 3-9-1927”
We’re curious as to who she was and the history behind the gravestone.
Anyone have any ideas or where we might look to find out?
At least we’d know who’s peeking in the window! —-Sharon

From Charles Nazarian
Hello Joe-
I just wanted to thank you for posting the flyer for our benefit concert on Sunday, February 22nd. This was part of our Rockin’ the Meetinghouse! Series in celebration of Black History Month. Despite the wet and cold weather we had a fine audience and Gordon Michaels gave a stunning, humorous and wonderfully musical performance of Fats Waller songs.
Although some of the original lyrics were a bit naughty for a church performance, Gordon reworked them to suit and had the congregation roaring with laughter. The ticket receipts were $1,065! Even after expenses and sharing the proceeds with the performers a good sum was added to our Meetinghouse Restoration Fund.
The exterior of the 1806 landmark structure, which is on the National Historic Register and Gloucester’s oldest standing church building, is now nearly complete. We are intent upon restoring the Federal Period interior to its original glory, including the beautiful horse-shoe gallery, for a total of 600 seats. In the process we will be making the building accessible to ADA standards, adding practical elements like a lift, off-street parking and lavatories. The auditorium has wonderful acoustics and we hope that it will be used for all kinds of community events, theatre productions and concerts.
If any of your Good Morning Gloucester members would like more information they can visit the website www.gloucesteruu.org or they can make a tax-deductible donation to ICC Meeting House Restoration Fund sent to 10 Church Street, Gloucester, MA 01930.
Thanks again for the publicity on your website, which has become the pride of Gloucester!

Beautiful Industry- Voyager Herring Boat Block
Just like the net reels on the Mid Water Trawlers, the blocks they use on these boats are ginormous compared to anything we use on the shore side docks. This block is probably rated for 20 times the weight or more (I totally pulled that number out of my ass) than the blocks we use on our hoists.

Beautiful Industry- Blynman Bridge
Note to boaters- If you think it’s gonna be close, don’t chance it and try to sneak under. I got a feeling it’s just not gonna be worth it to slam into one of those huge I beams head on with your vessel. It will be ugly not to mention costly to repair and you’ll look like a complete tool to all the people looking over the railings to check out the pretty boats passing through.
