Hi Joey,

Here’s a shot of a mooring marker near Gloucester Marine Railway.  The water had a painterly look about it.

Thanks!

Hi Joey,

Last Saturday, Ocean Alliance let the Phyllis A Marine Association use the

old Paint Factory for our annual retreat.   I thought I’d share a few shots of 

the other sides of  the Paint Factory that we don’t all see too often.  What 

an interesting old building.   I’ve included one shot of the attending Phyllis A

board members in the 2nd floor conference room and a couple of the Phyllis A

herself as she looks sitting in the Gloucester Marine Railway parking lot.

‘1959 Pink Thunderbird’

An evening of two comedic one acts by James McClure.

Our evening takes place in Maynard, Texas, where we meet folks longing for the past and its happier times.

The characters in these two well-crafted 45 minute comedic one acts, stumble clumsily, lovingly,

and laughably into adulthood, leaving behind the illusion of their identity and discovering what matters most.

Performances April 9-12 & 16-18

Dear Joey: 

I  thought I would send along some info on this upcoming benefit concert.  It will be an incredible event, held in the Gloucester UU church – which has a large hall with excellent acoustics.  Bach’s Mass in B minor represents the culmination of his achievement, and we will also have a pre-concert talk by eminent musicologist and Bach biographer, Christof Wolff.  The musicians are top notch.  This is part of our music and lecture series, but it really represents a one of a kind event due to the logistics and number of musicians involved.  If you can swing it, come and hear the talk, enjoy an hour and 45 minutes of some of the most sublime music ever composed, and enjoy a Gala reception.  Proceeds will help preserve our beautiful and historic building (the last of it’s kind in the area).

GloucesterCast 122 Cape Ann Real Estate With Kenny MacCarthy and Host Joey Ciaramitaro Taped 3/18/15 #GloucesteerMA

GloucesterCastSquareGloucesterCast 122 Cape Ann Real Estate With Kenny MacCarthy and Host Joey Ciaramitaro Taped 3/18/15

Kenny MacCarthy started the GloucesterCast with me over 4 years ago.  I love how Kenny doesn’t sugarcoat anything to do with Real Estate.  There is so much to learn from him about the inner machinations of the Real Estate world today.

If you have a home to sell or want to work with someone that you can trust to give you the straight information instead of trying to sell you something at all costs whether it is the right fit for you or not, Kenny is your guy.
