Thanks SO MUCH to everyone for your support of our opening weekend at 44 Main St in the West End (Gloucester). We saw so many of you in person which we are thrilled with. We hope you will come back and say hello. If you couldn’t make it yet, we hope to see you soon. All the retailers, bakeries and other businesses in that vibrant area of town benefit from your support.
Joey and I are making our plans for the store hours as we gauge our customers’ needs. We plan to have the store open on weekends Fri-Sat-Sun from 11-5. Weekdays will be as we are able to but any special events or holidays will certainly find our doors open. We will try to keep you all posted and I expect we will fall into a routine after a few weeks. Meantime, if there’s anything you need from either of us, please reach out to Joey via Gloucester Apparel or Pat via Facebook Pat D’s Photos and Adventures. (email GMGPatD at gmail.com) You can also comment as needed. Here are some samples from our new storefront! We appreciate all the kind words and support.

I brought our Shut the Box game to the Amvets Club to donate it to the game cabinet, played with some friends, lost several rounds, and got the worst score mathematically possible…. a 53 ….. but, had lots of laughs… so, I’ll call it a win.

The celebratory community event will feature story-tellers from the community, an interactive Gloucester trivia game, and a demo of the Library’s new interactive research tool.The evening is FREE and open to all to attend. No registration required.
Please join the Sawyer Free Library and the Gloucester 400+ on Wednesday, January 31 from6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Beauport Hotel Gloucester to celebrate the launch of theGloucester Timeline: An Interactive History and the relocation of the digital Gloucester 400 Stories Projectto the Library.
The Gloucester Timeline is the Sawyer Free Library’s legacy gift to the City to commemorate its 400th anniversary. The Timeline traces Gloucester’s unique history through culturally and historically significant people, places and events that have made Gloucester what it is today. Spearheaded by Sawyer Free Library with support from the Cape Ann Museum and Gloucester City Archives, the Gloucester Timeline also connects people to cultural organizations, archival repositories and historical collections where more information is available. Gloucester 400+ staff have made extensive use of the Timeline in 2023 to illustrate and highlight significant events in our history. The launching of the Gloucester Timeline by SFL makes this new interactive research tool available to the public online.
The collection of stories gathered over the course of the past year has been assembled into the Gloucester 400 Stories Project. This award-winning digital collection of stories, poems and videos, has until now, been available on the Gloucester 400+ website. The collection is about Gloucester people by Gloucester people and is a powerful voice of ordinary and not-so-ordinary citizens. The Gloucester 400 Stories Project too represents a 400+ legacy gift to the City.
Now that the quadricentennial year is over, the Gloucester 400 Stories Project collection will be permanently housed in the 2025 Sawyer Free Library’s new Local History Research Center located on the first floor of the newly renovated, expanded, and modernized Library, the Local History Research Center.
I am not certain when the amazing Lobster Trap tree will be dismantled until next year, so you might want to consider paying your last respects sooner than later. It looked especially majestic following the recent snow. The children’s painted buoys are scheduled to be available Jan 27 so plan your visit accordingly. **I believe the buoys may have been removed by the time this post publishes but I hope you enjoy a last look by these means.**

I just saved two Dovekies that appear exhausted from the Shaw’s parking lot on Eastern Ave. I’m letting them rest up, gave them some lobster and then releasing them on to Long Beach.
