Hi Joey,
You may have covered this, but if not, I think it would make a great story: I always assumed that the Ben Smith playground, opposite Zeke’s, was maintained by the city. It is always in excellent condition, great for little kids. One day recently I was there with my grandchildren and saw a little old lady come in with her watering can and her weeding and pruning tools. She gave the place a once-over. She told me that, in fact, the city does not maintain the playground; she and her husband do. He comes by with his lawn mower once a week; she takes care of the plants. Sadly, I did not get her name.
What I did get is that people can make contributions to cover the costs of materials through The Gloucester Fund.
I think it would be a nice story if you interviewed this couple.
Thanks!
Miriam

Paul Bruce Talks About Community Involvement At Benjamin Smith Playground
Good morning!
I saw this post about lost glasses found and wondered if there is a lost and found at Good Harbor Beach?
My daughter lost a bracelet possibly in the parking lot ( sentimental value) and I wondered how I could help her search or contact anyone who may have found it!
Thanks for your help or info!
