Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

Stage Fort itself was used during the American Revolution, which is evident in the cannons that line the path to the top of he rocky cliffs.

Who Is The Fruit Cup Ninja?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Bill Cox writes-

For the life of me, I can’t figure this out. When Melissa and I cleaned this area out a few weeks ago, we must have found a dozen or so fruit cups. Today I find another….I am vexed! Do we have a fruit cup ninja running around? Was there a fruit cup truck accident I was unaware of? Pagan ritual item?

THEN and NOW–Paint Factory (A New Beginning)

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

A lot of people don’t realize there is an open courtyard space that runs between the brick and wooden buildings at the Paint Manufactory. (see post card image)

As part of the restoration process, one of the courtyard spaces is currently being cleaned up by Kerr and his crew.

A pretty spectacular space.

THEN and NOW – Hotel Gloucester / Savoy

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

Hotel Savoy, then it became Hotel Gloucester, located at the bottom of Elm and Main Street.  I believe the street shown was Water Street, no longer there.

Our next dance is Saturday, August 24, 8:00 PM at the First Baptist Church, 38 Gloucester Ave., Gloucester.

Joey:  I noted the photos on Good Morning Gloucester of Adventure sailing again last week.  Here are a couple I took in 1988 – the first of Adventure returning to Gloucester, and the second of her appearing in the Labor Day schooner race.  Best, Pat Morss

The current church was built in 1914, after the original church burned down.

The church was modeled after the Santa Maria Madelena church in Madelena, Pico, Azores, shown above in a mid 1900 circa post card.

Wednesday morning action on the harbor from Lowell Peabody

OMG, OMG they were so good. The large tail is left because I had both of our legs and knuckles that I love. I mentioned to my hubby, maybe we should get smaller ones, his response: “why on earth would we want to do that?  Miss having lobster rolls?  Are you crazy?”  I suspect we’ll be back next week.
My very best friend who now lives in SF, grew up in Cambridge (and was close to Julia child, yikers) will be visiting around  our son’s wedding. She wants lobsters, so we will call ahead for a small order. She taught me ( from Pittsburgh) how to eat lobster and doesn’t leave a smidgen except the shell behind.
Thank you!  Thank you!
I am stuffed ( in a delicious way)
Best,
JoAnn
