Do you know “Where Zat?” Take a guess, and watch for the challenge of identifying a Cape Ann location each week. Answer correctly, and you’ll become a member of the “I Know my Cape Ann” club! Good luck and have fun!  ~Sharon

5:08AM Pre Loading The Blog For When I’ll Be Away

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

See those sheets of paper to the left? it’s a scheduled grid I made three years ago. There are 7 columns and 15 rows- 7 days a week across and every hour on the hour from 6am to 8pm going down where we fill time slots. 

In one or two more days all of my scheduled time slots will be filled through the 12th.  Except for a few that I’ll leave open in case I get that creative urge while I’m away.

It’s not easy cranking out quality material every hour on the hour.  Thankfully I have the greatest contributors in blogging who have just as much passion.

2012 in the books. Bring on 2013 #Boom!

Harbor Cove Dental To Open January 7th On Main Street!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hello Joey, I’m Leif Bakland and am new to reading and visiting GMG. I’ve lived in the Fort for almost 15 years and operate a Dental practice in Nbpt, where I’ve been for 32 years. I have been looking for an opportunity to open a practice in Gloucester for the last several years since this is where my wife and I call home. Several of my patients who make the drive to Nbpt to see me have asked me when I’ll be opening an office in Gloucester. I’ve signed a lease with the Cape Ann Savings  and after 5 months of construction, will open for business next Monday the 7th of January!

The address is, 123 Main St., Gloucester, 2nd floor right over ” Kid’s Unlimited “.  The E-mail address for now is: harborcovedental@gmail.com, a web site is being produced now. For almost two years now I’ve been working on this project, and I can’t say enough about the Quality of people I’ve been involved with. It’s exciting to finally be opening in Gloucester. The office phone # is : 978-865-3360
Thanks Joey for any help you can give me. Regards, Leif

Tradition on Rocky Neck

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Fred Bodin writes-

For the past 26 years, my good friend Bob Rubin has made amazing Christmas trees of his own design. Every year Bob and his sweetheart Harriett host a dozen or so friends (including Joey C’s Uncle Tony) around New Year’s Day for a “Tree Viewing,” where one enjoys sumptuous hors d’oeuvres and fine wines. There is history and tradition here:
