Meg Lee Has Some Nice Things To Say After A Visit To G-Town
Well, the month of July escaped me so I was long overdue for a visit. I decided that not only was I going to make it up to the Gloucester Sidewalk Days, but I was going to take a vacation day from work to do it. My kids, Melee and Freddo made the trek up with me.
The excitement always hits me when I make that turn onto Stacey Blvd. It’s always like seeing it for the first time. What a view – the flags flapping along the boulevard, the Fisherman’s Wives memorial, the Man at the Wheel and the gorgeous view of the harbor.The weather was perfect for that casual stroll up and down Main Street, visiting all the booths and chatting with the merchants. We stepped into Dogtown Bookstore, at Freddo’s request, since he enjoyed it last time we visited. We made a stop in Mystery Train Records, at Melee’s request, which was a first time visit for all of us. I expressed that we could literally spend hours there – what a time machine that place is! At one booth that supported our troops, I was happy to score an official Red Shirt Fridays teeshirt. I have personally been wearing a red shirt every Friday since 2006. I was thrilled to actually be able to purchase an "official" red shirt, which I will now wear proudly every Friday until our troops return home. Further up Main St., Melee scored a colorful abstract print from a booth manned by two young men selling their art to fund their college tuition.
A G-town visit is never complete unless you swing by Rocky Neck. I wanted Melee to visit the GMG/Kahn Studio Gallery, to take in some fantastic art and photography, and to meet kindred spirit E.J. Lefavour. We had a great visit and wonderful chat with E.J. We were also given a special treat by E.J.. She showed us two paintings of hers and recited the poems that told the story of each painting. It was an honor to receive such personal attention from her. Before leaving I was happy to score a Caroline Stella print – a photo of the iconic face of Man at the Wheel. Great to see you again, E.J., and hope to be back for a visit before summer ends.
As always, time flies when you’re having fun, and I’m always a little bit sad when we turn onto 128 South.
Until next time, G-town…..
Meg Lee
Good Morning Gloucester
