My Musical Guest: LIZ FRAME!

One of my all-time favorite songwriters, the great Liz Frame
returns to our Rhumb Line Stage this week. With shrewd,
biting lyrics, the girl simply tells it like it is – and kicks some
serious ass while she’s doing it. It is always an honor for me
to have the chance to sit in on such sharp material. Come
and join in on the fun, which starts, as always, at 7pm! ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!
*Each week features a special, invited musical guest
The Rhumb Line Kitchen……features Morgan Forsythe! Dishes are better than ever before!
Plus a fine, affordable wine menu!
Upcoming…
2/20 – Bradley Royds (guest host)

At tonight’s City Council meeting a resolution will be discussed and [we hope] signed to send a message to the statehouse – it’s time to take action on nip litter.

Back in the Day Main Street

Posted on by Pat D

The 1943 photographs taken by Gordon Parks for the Farm Security Administration have been discussed in previous Good Morning Gloucester posts but I just thought it might be interesting to show you one example of a view of Main Street in 1943 and one taken 2019. Very different and yet much the same. Other photos from this collection can be viewed here.

NOT ONE, BUT TWO SNOWY OWL BOYS!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Not one, but two, Snowy boys were well camouflaged amidst the rocks. They were far apart from one another when one flew toward the other. The stationary fellow didn’t move an inch and barely opened his eyes, while the flying fellow hid himself expertly behind a clump of dry wildflowers. The two sleepily hung out together, positioned not twenty feet apart.

I wished I could have stayed to see if they would behave territorially, but frozen fingers chided me off the beach.

I see you little Snowy Boy!

A flock of Snow Buntings foraged in between the rocks and they too were well-camouflaged.
