Breakfast at Sugar Magnolias
I had not been out to breakfast in a while and since I was downtown, I went to Sugar Magnolias. It was very busy Friday morning but the staff was friendly and efficient.
Yummy sounding offerings on the specialty drink menu.
The menu offered plenty of choices so I went with the East Main omelette with tomatoes, spinach, swiss and bacon. It would normally come with home fries but that’s not my favorite thing so the omelette might look a little lonely here but it was delicious and filling nonetheless. Thanks for a great experience Sugar Mags!

TEN DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS CAROL COUNTDOWN WITH “YOU AND ME”
“You and Me” isn’t a Christmas carol but I include the song with my Christmas playlist each year because it’s so sweet and because of the story of how this demo by an unknown soul group that was recorded in 1970 became popular today–so much so that you may recognize the song from the movie Blue Valentine and an Oreo cookie commercial.
The forgotten demo of “You and Me,” recorded by Penny (Nannie Sharpe) and the Quarters (Penny’s three brothers), was discovered at a yard sale by a record collector who later gave the track to the Chicago reissue label Numero Group. Forty years after the demo was made, Ryan Gosling heard the song and recommended it to the director for the film Blue Valentine. Even at the time of the release of the film, the identity of Penny and the backup singers had yet to be discovered.
The sweetly irrepressible song has taken on a life of its own since its rediscovery and you can read the full story here, here and here.

New Business opens in Gloucester – Cape Ann Electric Bikes – “portable convertible”
Owner Kathy Reed opened the first and only AddMotor exclusive retail shop in the country a month ago, in the off season, in order to gear up and be fully ready for a busy 2019 rental season
Cape Ann Electric Bikes rolled into “The Commons” plaza at 214 Eastern Avenue, Gloucester, MA, in the corner space formerly occupied by The Urchin Exchange. “The Commons” shopping center is just past Pond Road and Common Crow along Rt. 127. Stores include Cake Ann and O’Neil Fitness.
Cape Ann Electric Bikes are bikes (“not scooters!”) equipped with an optional motor assist that’s set to a maximum 20mph for safe rentals. There are many styles and options to try out. All of the bikes are fitted with fat tires to accommodate year round enjoyment, all terrain, and New England weather. Snow? Sand? Wet leaves? Check check check. Bicycles built for two? Check. There are accessory trailers for tools, coolers, pets and kids. The shop will deliver rentals to your home or business. Cape Ann Electric Bike offers free assembly for bike sales and will comp a full day’s rental towards any purchase if you want to try before buying.
Fun facts:
Cape Ann Electric Bikes will be showcasing their NEW business –and Gloucester and Cape Ann– at booths in the New England International Auto Show, host to 75,000 visitors annually and “voted the #1 consumer show in Boston by Bis Bash Media for the last 3 years.” Stop by January 17-21.
Owner Kathy Reed grew up in Gloucester and resides in Essex. She is a Mayor’s daughter. Can you name the Mayor? She’s currently favoring that bike with the blue wheels.
