Thank You GoodMorningGloucester
Dear Joey,
My family and I would like to thank you and the other contributors of GMG for helping us find our new home here in Gloucester. 3-4 years ago my wife and I started the path of picking the neighborhood to move to and raise a family. 2-3 years ago we realized we wanted to move to Gloucester. (Seeing as though it used to take me a yr. to shop for a CD player, picking a new neighborhood seemed daunting) So we starting taking day trips from Medford as often as we could. We wanted to explore and learn as much as we could about this city. Thankfully we found GMG. This site offered so much information and community input that we would NEVER have gotten from any other resource. It’s been amazing. Early on we recognized how much people loved living here and sharing it. There was always some cool event or some place new to see. Without this site we wouldn’t have found hidden gems like Lobster cove, Lane’s Cove, Cressy Beach, and all the great restaurants. With each visit we got to enjoy all the new things we discovered through GMG, like Stage Fort Part, Rocky Neck, Heritage Museum, or Main St. I’ll never forget the day I finally got to witness the Greasy Pole Contest on a beautiful day in 2010. We moved here in July and have been enjoying everything about it.
Thank you all so much for opening the doors.
Rich, Jess, and Emily Bean

We found ourselves moving to Gloucester in much the same way, but without as much deliberation. We’ve been here since May, 2010 and have loved every minute. What is truly inspiring is the fact that folks who are life long residents are as enthusiastic about Cape Ann and Gloucester as are we newcomers. That says a lot.
GMG was a major factor in our move and now being able to make some small contributions to the blog is quite rewarding.
Welcome and best of luck.

thank you Kathy! I didn’t mean to post my link to advertise or anything. I just do my own music for fun. I started going to Open Mic on Tuesdays at the Dog bar which has been a lot of fun.
