You may have heard that 80s power-pop hitmakers, The Smithereens, are coming back to the Larcom Theatre (right down the road in Beverly) this Saturday 4/2 and they’re bringing award-winning keyboardist Andy Burton, of John Mayer’s band and HBO’s hit series Vinyl — these guys are LOTS of FUN!
You can’t buy a back-stage meet & greet with the band, but you can WIN it — and because you are an FOB, you’ve got the first chance to enter.

A little background on the statue can see over right shoulder a rice field below not planted yet and part of the road that swings around the mountain. Sorry the photos were not better this was taken with a regular cell phone not smart phone older model.
Some history behind the statute Date I did take a picture of the English version comments but picture picked the sun not clear (
The resting place; “The Tomb of Soosunggum General, Choi Yu Lim (1426-1471).”
Hommie flew with me and Kim for a walk to a very sacred place in the woods. This is our normal route and walk 6 km round trip we pass and pay tribute homage and honor to those who have created a path for us to follow.

My neighbors were so nice to drop by some yellow tulips for easter! I’m enjoying these beauties as they were basking in the sun on my table and couldn’t resist a quick snapshot of them. We have the best neighbors! Pretty soon we will have some popping up outside too!
So good.
The Barrel House is on Cabot Street in Beverly…and totally worth the trip. I’ve been a couple of times, but keep forgetting to write about it. But, after having gone back last Friday afternoon, there was no way I was going to forget again.
First of all, the ambience is my kind of perfect. Dark, lots of brick, leather, an amazing tin ceiling, reclaimed wood…all gorgeous.
Secondly, any place that serves oysters and Almond Butter Brie Fondue is right in my world.
Third, the bar can’t be beat and my Moscow Mule was super yummy.
We had some oysters, the Mac & Cheese (smoked gouda, fontina, pecorino, herbed panko crust), the Brie Fondue, and….because why not….the Fried Dough Wrapped “Twinky” ….complete with chocolate hazelnut sauce and ice cream.
CHECK OUT THE BARREL HOUSE HERE

How long have you lived in Gloucester?
All my life (except for a few years “up the line” as a youth while my Dad worked in Marblehead).
What is your favorite season In Gloucester?
Fall..although summer can’t get here quick enough!
Do you have any secret outdoor spots in Gloucester where you go to “get away”?
My favorite spot is Annisquam Light at sunset sitting on the rocks or Plum Cove at sunset while taps echoes along the beach.
What is your favorite pizza joint in Gloucester?
Sebastians….Linquica pizza
What is your favorite sub shop in Gloucester?
Destino’s Meatball sub….My Aunt Margaret Destino used to make the best meatball subs 😀
What place would you go for a romantic dinner in Gloucester?
My date nights are most always at the Azorean, although the Franklin is our #2 spot.
What is your favorite bar in Gloucester?
Not into the bar scene much, but on a nice summer’s afternoon you might find Neil and I with drinks on the decks of Capt Carlos or Mile Marker.
What is your favorite breakfast joint in Gloucester?
That’s a tough one….depends on what you are in the mood for.
George’s, Sugar Mags and Morning Glory are in our regular rotation.
What is your favorite local event in Gloucester?
Fiesta…it’s in the blood.
In the summer do you prefer the beach or to be on a boat?
Definitely the beach or on a kayak 😀
Who is your favorite local artist?
Far too many greats to choose just one….I couldn’t even begin to try!
Which is your favorite local beach?
Good Harbor, 1st board walk
Who has the best chowder in town?
You’ll have to ask the fish eating community that one lol!
Excluding GMG what is your second favorite local blog?
The Gloucester Clam makes me LOL
Do you prefer haddock chowder or clam chowder?
Again….seafood….can’t do it lol!
What were your thoughts on The Downtown Block Parties last year?
Only made one last year but it’s a great night to see and connect with people.
What is your favorite local band?
Don’t really get to hear many bands…I don’t get out much….sad but true.
What about Gloucester sets it apart from anywhere else?
It’s community is like no other. We are unique geographically which makes us tighter knit than most other communities. In my opinion there is no other town with as much beauty and character (but I may be bias!)
Thanks, Joey

Having fun in the kitchen this week creating new recipes using Easter Dinner Leftovers! Yesterday a delicious Cream of Roasted Veggie Soup made from a Roasted Veggie medley Kate made, and today Grilled Lamb , Artichoke and Roasted Red Pepper Salad was made with a leftover grilled lamb and artichokes! I encourage you to serve your leftovers in a more exciting fashion this week rather than the usually re-heat and serve it again we all seem to be guilty of more often than not!
