Listening Post March 9,2010
From Sarah Garcia- City Of Gloucester Copmmunity Development Director-
Hi Joey,
A bunch of us have been meeting for a year, looking at the sad state of most of our City buildings. Our community has to make some clear long range choices or else we’re going to be paying for emergency repairs that do not get us what we need – good buildings and easy to use services.
SO…. We’re holding a Listening Post and hoping for really good citizen comments and feedback that we can use to guide recommendations about what to do and how to pay for it. The Listening Post is on Tuesday, March 9th at 7 p.m. at Kyrouz Auditorium.

Give a Kid a Camera…
Almost 11-year-old Kylie (littlest grandkid) went out shooting with me last Friday right after the storm. I gave her the D70 to use and showed her the basics. She loved using the camera and she quickly got the hang of it. She’ll be ready for an exhibit this summer!
Straight outta the camera!

GMG Facebook Impostor
Unfortunately someone has started a facebook page titled GoodMorning Gloucester and stolen our logo.
I’m pretty disapponted and hope that the person that has done this will take it down voluntarily without me having to take time from the family while on vacation to deal with it.
I always thought the idea of a GMG fan page would be cool but for someone to steal the GMG logo ands pose as this site’s Facebook page after all the work to get GMG where it is is completely unacceptable.
So I’m asking here first nicely that if anyone has any information about it or if you are responsible please take the Facebook page down, no hard feelings.
Thanks

Who’s got “First Flower”?
On December 6 Sharon posted a frozen chrysanthemum as last flower. What I want to see is first flower. It might reach 50 degrees tomorrow and right through the weekend. So can we make a contest for who can get a first flower posted? Crocus, Pussy Willow, even just the buds on a Weeping Willow will do it for me. Extra points if there is a boat in the background.
If there is a Crocus flowering in your yard Miss Etiquette says it is OK to drink Gin and Tonics in the backyard. Find that crocus.
