Hi Joey,

Could you help us get the word out to those who need to know? The storm this week as well as the holiday closing has had an impact on people’s ability to get to the food pantry. The Open Door will offer additional food pantry hours on Saturday, January 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to serve those who missed their appointments due to the holiday closing and storm conditions this week. People who need to use the food pantry should come to 28 Emerson Avenue in Gloucester between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 4.

Thanks!

Julie

First Storm Report From New GMG Weather Team Peter and Marcy. No one brings the passion to local weather that these guys do and I couldn’t be happier to have them on our team.

Hi  Joey,
I moved to Annisquam in April, and have followed you every day since. Big fan.
I was out in the storm earlier taking pics….I liked this one, particularly, and hope you do too.  Happy 2014 to you !
Thank you for Good Morning Gloucester.

Joey,
 
Wishing you a great 2014!…Stay Positive.

Customer Appreciation Night!

Dear Joe,

Topside Grill will be closing for the season this Saturday (January 4th). It has been another wonderful season and we would like to personally say thank you to everyone that has been a part of our success. We had a fantastic 2013 and have a lot of great things lined up for 2014 already! Please come celebrate with us on Saturday if you can.

Buffet!!!

We will be having a complimentary buffet starting at 8:00 pm serving some of our favorite dishes and appetizers for you to enjoy!

Can’t Make it?

Sorry if you will not be able to join us on Saturday, but we wish you all a happy and safe 2014! We will be reopening Tuesday April 1st for another year.

I guess the question I have is if the sailfish could have taken the bait at any time or was it investigating?
