July 2014–Shuttle Faces

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

As a season ticket holder for the Harbor Shuttle, I use the shuttle to go to Rocky Neck and or just ride on a hot day.  It also gives me an opportunity to meet people visiting Gloucester, and even local folks.  I  met my neighbors for the first time, even met the daughter of the landlady that we rented from when we came to the USA,   on the shuttle.  Below are only some of the many people I have met.
