“Happy Birthday, GMG

One of the Times’ community blogs turned 3 last month.

Lobster dealer Joey Ciaramitaro of Capt. Joe & Sons began the “Good Morning Gloucester: My Life on the Docks” blog on Dec. 29, 2007. Thirteen thousand posts later, after its third birthday, Ciaramitaro is still promoting the city he loves.

“That first year I didn’t blog with the frequency I do now. There was several posts a day but not the hourly schedule of a post an hour every hour from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. with the occasional midnight post thrown in,” Ciaramitaro blogged recently. “In the entire 3-year run there have only been 13 days that went without a post, the last being April 15, 2008.”

He doesn’t do it alone; regular contributors include Sharon Lowe, Mike Lindberg, Laurie Lufkin, Paul Morrison, Thom Falzarano, David Cox, Paulie “Walnuts” Frontiero, Manny Simoes, Joanne Silva, Beth Swan, among others.

The blog regularly features pictures of Gloucester at dawn, the fishing industry, St. Peter’s Fiesta, the Block Parties, food served at local restaurants, and art around Cape Ann.

Ciaramitaro has been honored by the Senate and Congress for his work on GMG, and received an Action Inc. Outreach Award.

“The No. 1 thing that I cherish about this thing called Good Morning Gloucester is the relationships and opportunities to create friendships with so many quality people and that is worth more than awards, more than money,” he wrote. “Friendships, love, passion for creating and an outlet to express it all. What more could a man ask for?”

  1. There are two Pauls reporting at GMG and I think it necessary and only appropriate that the longer termed sage Paul Frontiero is allowed to be known by a nickname. I will post my 300 words as often as I can but it is unlikely I will ever rate a nickname as distinguished as “Paulie Walnuts”.
