Yes, you DO want to see CODA on the big screen (in case you were wondering). Even if you have already streamed it, it’s a different show on the big screen. If you have company in town, they REALLY need to see CODA while they are here. That is also a special part of the experience. Gloucester Cinema on Essex Ave sells tickets online and they will be available through April 21. It’s a no-brainer.

Beau is a local surrender looking for his perfect match. He is a loving pup who enjoys being with his people and also loves all the other dogs he meets. He does have his reservations when it comes to strangers though. He can be reactive towards people he doesn’t know so his new owners will need to continue working on this with him. Because he loves other dogs so much and doesn’t love being left alone, he is looking for a home with another dog to keep him company. He would also like a home with no kids, please. He has been working with a trainer, so a session with her is included with his adoption. He’s a handsome guy, with very cute markings, and he’s just the perfect size to become you and your canine friend’s new bud!
Wildlife was abundant on a drive around town a few days ago. I had not seen the seals lately in Brace Cove, but on this day, I counted 11. When I got home, I found a least 2 more hidden in the photos. They seemed very happy. The turtles were also sunning themselves and egrets were busy on the hunt. Must be winter has left town and spring has arrived!
