Maritime Gloucester Lecture Series THIS Thursday at 7pm

maritimegloucester2's avatarCape Ann Community

The lecture series continues with Viking Gustafson entitled “Hauling the Commercial Fleet: A harborside chat with Gloucester Marine Railway

Since 1859 the Rocky Neck Marine Railways, now known as the Gloucester Marine Railways Corp., has maintained and repaired thousands of fishing, commercial and pleasure boats from the wooden schooners of the last century to the present day steel and fiberglass vessels. With an impressive list of services and many hauling options, this essential yard has been operated for the past 21 years by Viking Gustafson. Join us as Viking gives us a look inside the workings of a centuries-old marine railway in America’s oldest port and tells some stories of projects past and future. If we are lucky, we might even hear about the time she hauled 25,000 honeybees!

Viking Gustafson was born in Jamestown, New York. She has her BA from Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, and her MDiv…

THIS Thursday, April 25 from 7-9PM: Restorative Yoga with Acupuncture $60

Join Ayurveda Wellness Healing and North Shore Restorative Yoga and Greta Williams. Lic. Acupuncturist for an evening of BLISS.

FOR OUR FATHERS, an evening of song and art with Ute Gfrerer and Lisa Rosowsky on Sunday April 28th in the Gloucester Meetinghouse

chasnaz's avatarCape Ann Community

UteGfrerer_hi-resInternationally acclaimed Austrian soprano Ute Gfrerer and renowned Boston artist Lisa Rosowsky, present a deeply moving evening of song and art, based on the legacy of silence of their two fathers during World War II, one an Austrian member of the Nazi Youth Party, and one a French Jew. In a unique collaboration, the two artists present a Holocaust-themed program of music and mixed media artworks, based on memories of their fathers.

LisaRosowsky_hi-res

Singer Ute Gfrerer, accompanied on the piano by William Merrill, and artist Lisa Rosowsky present a program based on a chance meeting in 2017, when they learned that they both suffered a legacy of silence and grief from their fathers’ very different experiences in World War II. Gfrerer’s father was a member of the Nazi Youth Party and a soldier, while Rosowsky’s father went into hiding in France after his parents were arrested and sent to…

Where’s the affordable housing?

prattbrandon's avatarCape Ann Home

Six.  That’s the amount of single family homes for sale in Gloucester under $500k as I write this post.  There are 61 single family homes for sale in Gloucester in total.  So that means 55 of the remaining homes for sale in Gloucester are listed at over a half a million dollars.  MLS shows the average list price of homes for sale in Gloucester currently at $1.389mil…that’s not very affordable.

The good news is that you don’t have to spend close to $1.5mil to buy a home in Gloucester.  It just means there is a shortage of homes for sale that are considered affordable.  The majority of the current homes for sale are on the water, marshes and beaches of Gloucester….some absolutely beautiful homes.   This is common with the spring market, as buyers would want to be in Gloucester for the summer.  This is prime second home buying season.  We…

A Tale Of Two Weddings In Photos.

It’s true Kate and I are officially married. Two beautiful days. One in the snow by the ocean. One in the sand by the ocean.

Simple elegant days without the aggravation of a huge event worrying about such things as flower arrangements and seating plans and guest lists. We did it on our terms throwing conventional tradition to the wind.

We couldn’t be happier. Thanks for all the well wishes on social media.

There will be a party when we get home. No one will need to buy a $400 bridesmaid dress that they secretly can’t stand.  There won’t be an obnoxious shower on Fiesta Saturday or Fourth of July that anyone would grudgingly have to shop for and attend.  It’ll be a party for our friends that haven’t had the chance to celebrate with us and the only thing I can guarantee is that there will be booze.

Here are a couple photos from both days.
