Hi Capt. Joe,

Please find attached a photo I took of the Blue Church steeple in Bay View after big February snow storm (Nemo) with two gulls on the ridge.

I hope you might like to include it on GMG.

Thanks,

Statues & Plaques" in Gloucester From Peter Dorsey

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Peter Dorsey writes-

Joey,

From time to time I like exploring Gloucester, and finding important things that I never noticed before. There are several important statues and plaques

around and about which memorialize the men and women of Gloucester in different battles and wars. I’ll send you my photographs of these, and you can put up the ones you think are interesting.

Here is a Civil War statue on Leonard Street that honors the men who fought and died in that war from Annisquam. It is in a quiet little grassy area this is across from the entrance to Rockwood Heights I think.

I am have been a residential real estate broker with Coldwell Banker for 26 years. Also I have started rowing down on Harbor Loop with the Gloucester Rowing Club at Maritime Gloucester. I have roots in Gloucester that go back to 1919 when my father was born here. Every year, as I do business in this city, and travel around Cape Ann, I find more and more interesting things. I like to share some of these finds with my camera.”

Paint Factory Restoration – Progress on “E” Building

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

IMG_0285  Ian Kerr from Ocean Alliance takes notes on progress at the Paint Factory.

They have come a long way. Removed all the paint pasted to the floors, installed radiate heat in the floors, all new walls inside, carpeting, plumbing, yet maintaining as much of the original wood as possible.

See GMG Video on the beginning.

The “E” Building is becoming a love of hard work and dedication.

This will be one of Gloucester’s Pride Land Mark.

GMG will keep you posted on this project.

Below are some photos of the Progress:

Cape Ann Giclée

prints 
Giclée, great quality and good service right here in Gloucester MA.
There have definitely never been so many options before when it comes to finding a good printshop. When I started making prints it was at the New England school of Photography using film. Box after box of paper and hours in the dark room. Now with digital its pick your best shots and print. I had stuck with my film shop after they went digital and was happy with what I was getting. However as different employees who knew certain kinds of jobs well started to change it was time to find a new printshop.

People are happy to tell about good experiences they’ve had with printshops so I’m happy to say that one of the best printshop I have found in New England is right here in Gloucester MA.

Cape Ann Giclée Printing. I needed prints made for client that wanted them for his office & for the Rockport Art Associations shows so it was time to roll the dice and try a new printer? Do I change my loyalties after 30 years of using the same printer? Do I flip-flop from printer to printer? Yes and no.

Time to change from my old printer and no more flip-flopping. Printing is an art combined with craftsmanship. Many printers own great equipment, but that doesn’t mean they know how to run it. The team at Cape Ann Giclée not only knows both so well it sets them apart from the others I have used in the past. Where do my loyalties lay now? Giclée, great quality and good service right here in Gloucester MA.

How many mangled lobster traps are in this photo?

Mangles Lobster Traps
Mangles Mess of Lobster Traps near Magnolia Beach

I figure this jumble looks like about 3 traps.  John thinks it’s 9.  So we settled on 6 and based on that we counted 36 mangled traps on a small stretch of rocky Magnolia coastline today (see map here).

Joey, maybe you and some of your suppliers can estimate the number of lobster traps in this mangled mess more accurately and we’ll adjust our count accordingly.

Anyone else wanna take a shot at guessing?

Phyllis A From Bill Cox

Thanks again for all your support! Thought I’d send something in for the blog besides another fundraiser flyer and took some photos this past Saturday while we were doing some work.  I haven’t sent pictures in to you before so if there is something else you need me to do, just let me know!

I think I would title it: Even in the dead of winter, there is work being done on the Phyllis A.

Thanks and have a good one!
