So Proud Of Our Team Once Again GMG Absolutely Shines In Our Saint Peter’s Fiesta Coverage

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I couldn’t have asked for a better more dedicated effort than the one put forth by our team.  35 quality posts in the First three days alone including the winning greasy pole walks, novena, procession, seine boats, Fiesta 5 K, faces in the crowd.  Hell we had something like six different quality posts on Fiesta 5k alone. 

Now I understand certain media outlets take heat for trying to stuff as much Fiesta content as they can into their pages but that’s the beauty of GMG.  We don’t have no stinkin rules. 

We don’t have to cover the puss. 

We cover the good and we cover it to death.

FIESTA BABY! WE OWN THIS SPACE!

#BOOM!  THAT JUST HAPPENED!

Great Job Team!

Hi Joey-

My little brother Owen Bryan, 11, made this Lego Greasy Pole and we thought you might want to share it on the blog.  Here are a few pictures that we liked. 

Buona Fiesta!

Adam Bolonsky Requests Recipes For fresh Calamari

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Lots of anglers are catching 6" to 8" squid off the inside edge of the Eastern Point Breakwater with Sabiki rigs. 

Anyone have a good spicy recipe for what to do with the fresh catch?

By the way, now that the Audubon Society runs the lot at the breakwater, don’t forget that it costs $5.00 to park there for the day!

As for access, tell the guard at the gate by Niles Beach that you’re headed for the breakwater. There’s a public right of way along the AEPR (Association of Eastern Point Residents) private speed-bumped roads. 

As for Niles Pond, it’s a Great Pond open to public use.
