Thank you Gloucester Fire Fighters for extinguishing this fire. Terrible fire on Monday.  No one was hurt but sadly pets did not make it.

Once again our community stepped up for the Left-Right-Center fundraiser at the Gloucester Elks. Over $28000 was raised to benefit the Lily Jean families with the amazing support of area businesses and individuals. We sincerely feel blessed by all the donations for the raffles and auction as well as cash donations. It was an amazing night. Thank you Gloucester Elks, John Jerome, Anthony Saputo and many many others including committee members Annie Rochon, Pam Parsons, and Linda Miller led by the incredible Dee and Steve Noble. There was a great deal of support all around. Bless this community and our fishing families.

This is why restaurants and restaurant patrons should be horrified that Sysco is buying Restaurant Depot

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The second I read this when it was announced I railed on about how bad it would be for small restaurants especially. You broke it down perfectly. For people grasping to make comparisons- look at what has happened locally when the big supermarkets started getting bought up and consolidated. Supermarkets consolidation happened with debt, debt costs money and that debt cost gets pushed to the consumer. When Supermarket competition was reduced because the supermarkets were getting bought up and without competition, it was even easier to push food prices up. Remember prices at Stop and Shop and Shaws before Market Basket came to town? If this happens to the food supply chain for restaurants, their food costs will go up and they’ll have to raise menu prices or squeeze their already thin margins. This is a nightmare for restaurants and restaurant patrons.

Essex Piano Trio at Gloucester Meetinghouse

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Gloucester Meetinghouse presents the Essex Piano Trio performing “A Conversation among Friends” on April 18th

The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation proudly presents the Essex Piano Trio as part of its Tenth Anniversary Series on April 18th at 7:30pm in the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church. The trio, playing a combination of the piano, violin and cello, will perform pieces that explore the friendships between the late 19th and early 20th century composers including Ravel, Vaughan Williams, Tchaikovsky and Arensky.

After playing together for several years throughout New England, the musical friends known as the Essex Piano Trio formalized their working relationship in 2017.  Their signature concert title “A Conversation among Friends,” borrowing a descriptive phrase from American biographer Catherine Bowen, alludes to their audience-friendly concert format of interesting music interspersed with casual commentary.  The trio’s primary goal has been to grow as musicians while making the best music possible to share with audiences. Essex Piano Trio members bring many perspectives from their academic backgrounds and professional lives as educators and performers.

The historic Meetinghouse is located on the green at the corner of Middle and Church Streets (GPS 50 Middle Street). General admission is $30, students $10, under 12 free. Tickets are available at the door and online (recommended) with more information at: www.gloucestermeetinghouse.org.

Parking is available on the Green in front of the Meetinghouse (enter between the granite pillars) and at other locations around the Historic District. An accessible side entrance with a lift is at 10 Church Street.

Join us for this outstanding concert by the Essex Piano Trio!
