Joey,
Thanks to you and Good Morning Gloucester, GMG readers over the past couple years have followed the good things happening at Burnham’s Field including the clean-ups, the newly painted backboards and the new Burnham’s Field Community Garden. Here is some of the great GMG coverage of Burnham’s Field
With all of GMG’s support, it’s no surprise that so many people have rallied to make Burnham’s Field, the largest green space in central Gloucester, a more beautiful, family-friendly place. Here’s some breaking news: The City of Gloucester just won a big grant to continue that process and fix up Burnham’s Field even more. It’s great news for the countless kids and families who use Burnham’s Field every day. Open spaces and playgrounds matter!

Thanks to you and the GMG community for all you do,

Good Morning Gloucester 
Sargent St. Memories
08/25/2010
I can invision corner to corner the Landmarks of each end
From our first home next to Linsky’s Junnk yard
T o Kyrouz’s Market George & Johnny and friends
Johnny Zions with its loud singing to the juke box
Or Nelsens Bakery where the kids gathered for treats and talk
Jimmy Salah’s Market and the kids running in and out
Ma Todd down near the junk yard yelling at us to come and eat
With her roaring loud and rantactious shouts
Merchants Box Factory and its loud machines
With Linsky’s trucks loaded for the Chelsea run
Judy Millett’s Parlor and the horses to ride
Just a bunch of Sargent St. kids having fun
Sargent St. was not just about Laughing and play
It was also the lessons of life we learned at each end
Such as the wisdom of Morris and Rem and all they conveyed
Words like if you work for what you want you’ll never go astray
So this is my first street of Gloucester in the begining of teen life
Which has long sinse vanished or faded away
Many a times I listen at the sounds and the words of those nights
From those who gave us the wisdom that guided our way
