As long as supplies last if any GMG folks want a bumper sticker but can't drop down the dock, just send a self addressed and stamped envelope longer then 7 and a half inches and I'll drop one in the mail for you.
Send the self addressed and stamped envelope to the dock at 95 East Main St Gloucester Ma 01930 care of Joey (put my name in big letters to make sure it gets to me)

Good Morning Gloucester 
Is this part of Fort Squre by Pavillion Beach?

This is a picture of the Randazza’s house where the Doucette’s lived as well, and the playground before it was made one.. My Grandfather Dutchie Vegliano lived in the white house on the right. My Mother, as a kid, told me she remembered the playground spot was a barn with animals. I lived in grandpa’s house young married in the 60’s and when it was foggy I used to go to the end of the playground and talk to smaller boats coming in the harbor to tell them they were headed on the rocks at the playground. Some kids once piled oil drums eight high and set them on fire, What a show with the police chasing the kids across the beach and the fire department too afraid to go near the missle drums. All the drums missed any houses but it was quite a show. Mr Olson used to stroll by with his cup of coffee or whatever every summer evening and enjoy the folks and the view. He was a curiousity and a view to watch as he was so tall bearded and heavy set. It was a happening place, never boring. Once in a while a large vessel would be grounded on Pavillion beach and create a stir. Someday they will build an expensive Hotel on that spot if nature doesn’t claim it first.

I’m amazed by the vacant land going toward the harbor end of the Fort. Was this urban renewal or what? This is puzzling. I need help on this one.

Yes, before the playground was built. The house is where Billy Doucette lived. His grandparents, (Randazzas?) Owned it. The structure in the front is a pump house for Cape Ann Fisheries. The curving street is Fort Square, a one way circle hitting Commercial Street.
