I’m not sure I’ve met a person in the past year that has as positive an attitude as Stu.  He’s also a resident of God’s Country in the heart of East Gloucester.

 

Updated: Today’s Tennis Bags Are Large Enough To Smuggle Illegal Aliens

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I grew up playing tennis.  Played at least 5 days a week from the age of 7-18.  Never had more than one tennis racket,  never had a tennis bag.  I had a racket cover that zippered around the head of the tennis racket.

I see kids running around today with tennis racket bags that take up at least 50% of their body mass.  It’s insane. No clue what they could possibly be carrying around in there.

A couple tennis rackets, books, ipads, laptops, lunch, sweat suit, a midget or two, a couple of little people, some goats for milking and some extra room left over to use as a tent

Sailor Stan’s – A Very Cool Place for Breakfast

Posted on by God's Morning

In case you didn’t know, Sailor Stan’s is open for breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings from 7:30 until 11:30-12:00.  As season starts coming in, they will be open more mornings.  Sailor Stan’s is one of the coolest most colorful artsy spots on Cape Ann, which always reminds me of Key West.  Karen and Wayne are the nicest people, and will cook you a special breakfast treat.  Wayne has a great display of his bold paintings on display, so your eyes as well as your mouth will be busy.

By Golly I Believe I’ve Figured Out A Way To Get Heroin Addicts Off The Junk and It’s Called Bacon Marmalade

As you may know Passports Restaurant is nominated for the best Burger in North Shore Magazine’s BONS Awards.  You can vote for them here

Jeremy at Passports has developed a drug so powerful I’m fairly confident that it can be used to wean addicts off of heroin.   It’s called Bacon Marmalade.

Bacon Freakin’ Marmalade.

So here’s what you gotta do-

You sit the addict down at a table and you offer them a teeny tiny taste of one of the Bacon Marmalade burgers at Passports.  Then you give them two options-

Option A) Finish off the Bacon Marmalade Burger

Option B) Heroin.

I’m certain that once the addict tries the Bacon Marmalade Burger they’ll opt for the burger a hundred times out of a hundred.
