Did you know that you can get your Gloucester tourism related business listed in the www.GloucesterMA.com website for free?

Well you do know sucka!  Thank your boy Joey.  We went to the meeting for you and listened to the Mayor and the E-Board talk about what is happening to make this tourist season one of the best yet and I know with people’s busy schedules that it’s tough for business owners to get to all the meetings, but that’s where we come in.  We went and taped the speeches from Mayor Kirk, Jan Bordinaro and Sheree Delorenzo (before we ran out of memory space on the camera.

We learned of a bunch of things on the GloucesterMA.com website that can help you and tourists know what you need to know.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

East Gloucester- Click the picture to enlarge it.  I’d appreciate anyone to fill in the details of the exact location and what they see in the pictures from this series.  There are 15 pictures in 15 days.

What I know of this picture is again the slide is in backwards because when you click on it to view it full size you see the numbers on the white boat are backward.  I believe it says

W 04
