Winter on Main Street. Frozen solid. I think we can all relate to this photo right about now. This is exactly how I’ve been feeling the past couple of days.

GHS JV Ice Hockey

Posted on by Pat D

We started our New Year’s Eve at the Talbot Rink watching our very own JV Boys Ice Hockey team. A couple of our favorite GHS students play for this team and we wanted to cheer them on and show our pride. The team came away with a decisive win 5-1 over Beverly. Though these photos aren’t great largely due to the wonky lighting at the rink, I thought some of you might enjoy this photo dump. Great job team! We look forward to watching the development of your team.

News From Stone’s Pub and Eatery

BREAKING GOOD NEWS

We are now opening for lunches seven days a week as well as dinner! Hopefully you all will be as excited as I am to be returning full-time for lunches starting this coming Monday, January 5th, 2026. I am so looking forward to being there with all of our Stones Pub staff and of course our customers who make Stones the Cheers of Cape Ann.

We are starting a new era here at Stones or should I say going back to the beginning! This year marks 15 years of Stones Pub serving our amazing community which has been incredible and so special to me. I have been part of it for many years 15 plus years at Jalapeños with Alex, Jaime, Luis and Steve, Il Porto which was above the Rhumbline with Georgie DeAngelis, Paulie & Mikey, Outrigger/Madfish, Blackburn Tavern with Bob Vallis (now owner of Brown Dog in Ipswich) way back to the Rock-a-Way which most of you probably don’t remember! Gloucester and all of Cape Ann is truly blessed with a restaurant community which is incredible and supportive of each other as well as Cape Ann in so many ways. I have been a part of it for so many years and want to make sure I thank every single restaurant person who supports not just Stones but our entire community and each other as we move forward.

These can be trying times and we are here to provide a place to take a breath. I am here baking macaroons to be handed out to anyone who just wants a little something sweet as I first did when we opened along with our fantastic carrot cake. Come on by to say hi. If you have time please feel free to just relax, unwind and hang out with me chatting or enjoy the hockey/football/basketball/polo game or play a round of cribbage/scrabble/pass the pig or whatever makes you happy.

I feel this is me coming full circle to be able to be there to take care of my people on every Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday!

Out With The Old, In With The New

Posted on by Pat D

So long 2025 and welcome 2026. Jim and I wish you all the very best in the upcoming year with just enough disappointment to allow you to cherish the joys. It’s a lot to ponder when you think about the past year and anticipate the new one, but don’t put extra pressure on yourself because of the date on the calendar. In the meantime, I hope you can appreciate just a few more pictures of our beautiful Lobster Trap Tree this year; some taken at angles you may not have previously seen.
