Nichole’s Picks 8/1 +8/2
August! Â Yikes. Â Slooooooow down, summer.
Pick #1 Â Â The Thomas E. Lannon
Thanks to Kim Smith for reminding us that kids sail free on Saturday mornings on the Thomas E. Lannon. Â Take advantage of that great offer and receive one free child ticket for each adult ticket purchased.
Pick #2 Â The Stage Fort Park CATA Trolley Shuttle
Thanks to Joey for reminding us that the CATA Trolley departs from Stage Fort park and makes stops all around Gloucester. Â Parking at Stage Fort is FREE if you are riding the shuttle and ticket prices are the best take around at only $1 or $3 to hop on and off all day long! Â Seriously!
The boys and I will often grab some smoothies and an ice coffee and just go for the round trip ride around the Cape to kill some time. Â Totally an awesome thing to do….and even better if you want to hop off at Harbor Loop for a bit, or spend some time at Good Harbor Beach without the hassle (or cost) of parking, or walk around Rocky Neck and grab a bite to eat or an ice cream. Â My only wish is that it was available on weekdays too! Â For now, it is just weekends and holidays.

HUGE SHOUT OUT AND THANK YOU AMAZING TEAM OF ANDREW BUTLER LEATHERNECK LANDSCAPING AND SEAN NOLAN EXTREME TRUCK AND AUTO REPAIR
Andrew Butler and Crew
I only wish we had before photos but trust me when I say the weeds were waste high!
Thank you to Harbor Walk Friend and Volunteer Amy Kerr, who contacted Sean Nolan of Extreme Truck and Auto Repair, who got in touch with Andrew Butler of Leatherneck Landscaping. Sean, Andrew, and a crew member mowed, weed whacked and raked, despite the extreme heat and humidity. They did this on a volunteer basis, absolutely free of charge. Andrew and Sean plan to stop by several times a month to lend a hand and I just can’t tell you how grateful we are for the help.
Amy also reports that Sean and Andrew help greatly with many community clean ups around town.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, and ninety nine thank yous more, to Lynn Bird, Amy Kerr, Andrew Butler, and Sean Nolan for your tremendous help with the HarborWalk.

Open House at the White-Ellery House Saturday August 1st
Historic Home free and open to the public for 17th Century Saturdays
The Cape Ann Museum, which owns and operates this historic property, will open the White-Ellery House on Saturday, August 1 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Museum docents and staff will be on hand to educate the public about the unique house and its history. The house is located at 245 Washington Street at the corner of Poplar Street in Gloucester and is open to the public at no charge on the first Saturday of the month from May through October as part of Escapes North 17th Century Saturdays. Parking is available off Poplar Street in the field behind the house.
The White-Ellery House was built in 1710 and is one of just a handful of First Period houses in Eastern Massachusetts that survives to this day. Unlike other structures of this period, the largely unfurnished house has had very few interior alterations over the years. Stepping inside today, visitors enter much the same house they would have 300 years ago.

My Joey Dog Experience
Personally I love dogs – all dogs. My worst experience with dogs has been too much drool and a little dirt on my clothes when they jump up on me. But this morning I had a bone fide Joey dog experience. I was walking out Eastern Point Blvd. by Three Waters, and this vicious, snarling beast raced out the driveway at me, obviously wishing to leap and sever my juggler vein. Fortunately, I was too tall for that and he quickly realized the folly of his evil plan and turned and ran away. Those who walk out on Eastern Point, beware! I’ve never seen him before, so he must be the new guard dog forThree Waters.

Yes, please
have you seen this little number out in Gloucester Harbor right now?
Private, not chartered. Â A quick google search just told me that the yacht belongs to Mark Cuban. Â As in the owner of the Dallas Mavericks and Shark Tank fame. I love that he has a basketball hoop on board!
