Off the island…Kansas City

We are enjoying a beautiful few days in Kansas City and especially some Baseball in our annual field tour!  We are hitting our 12th ballpark here at Kaufman Field.

One thing we try to do each year while we enjoy the game and tour the fields is fund what delicacy each park is infamous for.   Kaufman Field boasts the “pulled pork patty melt” which is a funnel cake, with pulled pork, cheddar and Monterey cheese, jalapeño, onion straws and coleslaw sprinkled with powdered sugar.   Sounds unappetizing but surprisingly it was pretty good!  The second item was a sunrise dog which was a hot dog with sausage gravy, bacon, cheese and fried egg on top.  That one was not so appetizing lol!

Gloucester Fishermen Pride in Maui

Check out this car spotted in Maui!

Despite the fact that they’re not representing GMG, it’s pretty cool to see the Gloucester Pride being displayed so far away.

Thanks to Peter Horovitz for snapping this photo!

Free Admission at Sargent House Museum Today Friday August 25, 2017!

Shannon Cardinal's avatarCape Ann Community

The Sargent House Museum invites you to attend our Free Back to School Internship Day on Friday, August 25, 2017, from 12:00 – 4:00 PM. While the event is free to the public, donations are encouraged in order to support our Summer High School Internship Program in the hopes of expanding the program in the future.

Unlike our traditional tours, the Back to School Internship Day is an opportunity for the public to explore the house at their leisure while our interns educate visitors in each room. The Summer High School Internship Program provided students with an opportunity to explore the life, times, writings, and home of Judith Sargent Murray, a pioneering advocate of women’s education and equality. That said, this event is the culminating event for the internship program which consisted of a ten-week project-based program individually designed and executed by each intern. Interns’ projects explored areas…

Flags on the Boulevard

Joey–I was going through some pictures I took during our visit to Gloucester this past June and noticed you can pretty clearly see the name of the person being remembered on one of the flags flying at the time.
I thought you might like to share the picture with a shout out to the Dana Curcuru family.  It’s such a great project and the flags on the Boulevard always look so nice and do Gloucester proud.  Hope to see you soon.  Pat D

The Place on the Docks That Redefines “Place on the Docks”

Gloucester, Massachusetts

In the archipelago of coves and points in Gloucester, a narrow one-way residential street leads to a small marina. On the docks is a weathered old building that looks like it should be serving popcorn shrimp on paper plates out a window. Instead, it houses The Market Restaurant,…”

GOOD MORNING GLOUCESTER, BROUGHT TO YOU BY FAT AND FURRY CAPE ANN RIVER OTTERS!

For Joey, because I know how much he would love to encounter one of these beasts while swimming.

Soulful eyes of River Otters.

What a treat to come upon this North American River Otter family foraging along the pond’s edge. They are quite shy and mine was a brief encounter, but I hope to meet up with them again soon.

River Otters are returning to Massachusetts for several reasons, including better wetland conservation, pollution control, and the fact that the remarkable comeback of North American Beavers has also helped NA River Otters. For the few short moments that I saw the otters, the youngsters were playing with each other, while also intently feeding on frogs and tadpoles.River Otter Eating a Tadpole

Clam Alley | NESN’s Wicked Bites TV visits J.T. Farnham’s, Woodman’s, Village Restaurant, Clam Box!

Wicked Bites TV visited Essex and Ipswich in a big way this month to review “Clam Alley”. Visitors often ask what is the best place for a lobster roll? and fried clams?  “Clam Alley” extends throughout Cape Ann. In Gloucester there’s  Charlie’s, Gloucester House, Lobsta Land (another gorgeous marsh vista), Captain Carlo’s, the Cupboard and Lobster Pool in Rockport to name a quick few…what else?

Hey, you better be ready for the next ALL NEW Wicked Bites TV. On today’s show we visit CLAM ALLEY for the very best fried clams in the world. And, we have some special guest: Kim Gilder Carrigan and VB from the WRKOmorning show.”

“Oh, the fried clam! Mike Wendt hits Essex, Massachusetts at J.T. Farnhamsfor fried clams, seafood and some incredible fish tacos.”

Lost Dog

Hi Joey,
My name is Mara Cornetta, we live in Anisquam. We lost a brand new dog on Sunday night from our home. He slipped his collar and ran off. We had just brought him home from the airport where he flew in from Puerto Rico.
We have sightings of him from Tuesday 8/22 in Anisquam village. We are working with Animal control and MA missing dogs to try to trap him. He is extremely scared of people and does not know us or our home. I was hoping that you might post something because I know that you have a very large following. I have many flyers in the area but we need as many people as possible to be on the lookout and let us know if they see him and where.
It is extremely important NOT to chase, call, or feed him! We don’t want to scare him and drive him farther away and we want to keep him hungry so that we have a better chance of getting him to go into our trap which is baited with food.
I have attached a picture. He is 20 pounds, small/medium size.  Please ask people to call me or animal control with any information. Anyone in the Anisquam village area should check their garages, sheds, ect. He is likely hiding out somewhere. But- Do not chase him or feed him.
Thank you sincerely,
Mara Cornetta
