Annisquam River at mid tide

Took this from the Annisquam Footbridge.  The light was so pretty and love that there are still boats in the ocean.

Another business affected by this horrible virus

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Sherry’s Corner Cafe, we are so sad to hear this.  We always loved going there.  Please try to support our local businesses.

Dear Family, Friends (old and new), and customers….
It’s with a heavy heart that I find myself writing this post. As everyone knows 2020 was one of the hardest years for so many of us in all ways, especially those who have a small business. We hoped here at Sherry’s that 2021 would be off to a better start, but that clearly is not the case. With little help from the government at both State and Federal levels and Covid-19 regulations becoming stricter (and sometimes illogical), we have decided to close our doors for good. A year ago today we never would have thought this would have been the case but the pandemic has taken an extreme toll on us.
I am grateful for all the customers who have supported us along the way, with many becoming more like friends and family. I am grateful for my staff who have worked so hard and adapted to the crazy changes we now find our new-world norms. And most importantly, I am grateful for each and every one of you who have walked through our doors and welcomed us to the Magnolia community. Starting tomorrow, January 19th, 2021, we will be closing our doors effective immediately.
Thank you again for the past three years. You have all humbled me with your kind words and friendships over the past 3 years that I am forever grateful.
-Sherry & Chris ❤️
