I, like many others really miss seeing local personalities Dave and Lorre Anderson and their sweet and beautiful dog Chloe and newest family member, Kenzie at the Black Swan! It was a sad day when they closed their doors, but I hear they have ‘new beginnings’ happening soon!! A reminder that “when one door closes…, another opens.” I wonder if GMG readers remember the ‘Buddha of Main Street’ Gloucester that rested outside their lovely store??! I am interested in hearing of the experiences they may have enjoyed when they encountered this lovely Buddha Statuary, and look forward to what GMG readers have to share. I am hoping to compile readers responses as a ‘gift’ to Lorre and Dave for their many years working in Gloucester and for ‘sharing’ their amazing ‘Thai Reflecting Buddha’ with all of us. Also, if you liked them before be sure to ‘Like’ again and give them a Shout on Facebook! ~ Karen Pischke
