The first shot is an old postcard view out the back window of The Greenery in 1970. The second shot I took while sitting at the round table to the left while having lunch with my daughter and her friends in the Spring of 2009.
Amazing how nothing has changed out that window. (OK, I know it isn’t the same Motif #1.) Unfortunately it all changes tomorrow as there is an auction starting at 9:30 AM to sell off everything inside The Greenery. The other shots I took while I was there show a lot of paintings on the walls and the identical table and chairs from the 1970 shot. Might be a chance to walk away with a little piece of history.
When I was in the process of buying a house in Rockport in 2008 I spent more than a few afternoons using the Greenery free WiFi reading my email and having a cheeseburger. I could also swing by in the middle of the night and park in front and download updates.
Good Morning Gloucester

Sorry to say according to the Gloucester Daily Times it is kaput as of tomorrow:

It’s a bummer as I loved the food there, (fresh and well done), and the waitstaff was always very friendly, (told me all sorts of things about my new town.)
It is such a killer spot it cannot be closed for long.

I was there right from the beginning, actually the beginning was on the corner of School St and Main St. – way back.

That’s a shame. I agree with Dave – good food and very nice people, as well as killer views. I wish them luck in whatever they do next.
