How long have you lived in Gloucester?
We closed on our house on leap year day 2008, so it has almost been exactly one year. I was hoping that the city would allow us to pay our water bill annually on that day! I grew up in a neighboring community on Cape Ann.

Excluding GMG what is your second favorite local blog?
I don’t subscribe to any other local blogs. I do subscribe to the feed from the Gloucester Times.
Do you prefer haddock chowder or clam chowder?
Depends on my mood, but I’m a big fan of chowder in general. (I’ve always wondered why the two chowder questions aren’t next to each other.)
What were your thoughts on The Downtown Block Parties last year?
I was only able to attend the first one but I had a GREAT time! We had some friends visiting and they thought that Gloucester was a pretty impressive place based on what they saw that night. It was great to check out all the shops on Main Street as it can be hard to get there before 6 PM on normal day. I loved that we suspended our puritanical ways for one night and allowed al fresco dining on the street with *GASP* real drinks.
What is your favorite local band?
Don’t have one yet… You should feature local bands on GMG with music downloads.
Thanks for putting so much time into producing such a great site, it is a real asset to the community.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Great idea about featuring local musicians. As a musician myself I have lots of content. I will try to post some.

Thanks!
PEACE!
