With the former Soviet republic of Belarus much in the news, popular North Shore speaker Doug Brendel will present a lively talk about the country, with visuals.

Belarus was the country hardest-hit by radiation after the Chernobyl disaster, and has continued to struggle on multiple fronts since then.

The evening at Magnolia Library will include a no-holds-barred Q&A.

This free event begins at 7 pm on Thursday, January 13th, at Magnolia Library & Community Center, 1 Lexington Ave. in Gloucester MA.

Doug, along with his wife Kristina, has led the NewThing.net humanitarian operation in Belarus for 20+ years.

Each attendee at the Thursday evening event will receive a gift of appreciation for their time and participation.

Hi Joey

We live on old SalemPath. Thought you might like this shot from this am.

Hi Joey!

We are transplanted North Shore residents, who moved to this general area (about a1/2 hr from St Pete), when our daughter & son in law were transferred to FL & asked us to please move with them 2 yrs ago. But, Mass & Gloucester will always be home.
We keep in touch via GMG, & thought that since you’re in the St Pete area, we’d recommend a few places we think you’d like.
We agree that St Pete has a pretty cool vibe- they’ve done a great job there. The Imagine Museum is worth a visit.
if you have time, you might want to visit Dunedin, only about 1/2 hr from St Pete. It’s a small seaside town with a Scottish heritage. Al Fresco Cafe has good food & a nice ambiance. While in Dunedin, be sure to take the Causeway to Honeymoon Island. You can take a beach walk there at North Beach, if you have time & the inclination.
We miss Gloucester, Mass & New England, Harbor Cove Dental, walking the blvd by the Fisherman’s Statue, and more…….But, we didn’t miss the 10′ of snow that Mass just rec’d.
We also feel lucky that the GOAT is here with the Bucs. Gronk too.
Have a great time!
JB & Family

Not all towns have the texture enough to carry a blog like we do on GMG. I think you could do a pretty good job coming up with interesting things to write about in downtown St Petersburg. This is a really fun town with one of my number one requirements for travel- a long street lined with outdoor cafe’s and restaurants. St Pete has them in spades.
