One day in – new Jeks One (lobster?) mural on Harbor Village apartment building #GloucesterMA

This morning feeling an intricate hyperrealist & abstract nocturne, sort of mutant sci-fi, toxic-regal, lobster-crustacean-hybrid clone, with a hint of greed. A bit Alexis Rockman vibe. You?

Look up when you’re downtown!

Gloucester Education Foundation Grant Supports GHS Class of 2021 Celebrations

gloucesteredfoundation's avatarCape Ann Community

GLOUCESTER , MASS. – Gloucester Education Foundation has made a gift of $7,500 to the GHS class of 2021 to support the production costs of Senior Award Night, Senior Prom and Graduation.

“This grant is a departure from the type of projects that GEF normally funds in our schools,” said Aria McElhenny, GEF’s Executive Director, “but this year has been anything but normal, and thanks to our generous community, GEF can be flexible and step up to provide this one-time support where it is needed most. We’re so proud of these kids and the remarkable resilience and strength they’ve shown this past year. They deserve to be celebrated.”

Due to COVID-19 restrictions in the schools this year, opportunities for students to fundraise were limited. According to Dan Fleury, GHS Senior class advisor, the students’ best efforts fell short:

Clarification Regarding Beach and Resident Stickers

Sharing information from the Mayor’s office to clarify some information regarding Gloucester Resident stickers and Beach Stickers for the 2021 season. From Facebook:

Our office has been getting lots of calls, texts and social media posts regarding a news article which has shared incorrect information on beach/resident stickers. If you have already purchased a Gloucester Beach Sticker, you DO NOT need a new, separate resident sticker. Please contact your Ward Councilor or City Clerk’s office regarding which streets are affected and how to acquire a resident sticker if needed, but a beach sticker will also serve as a resident sticker. Thank you and happy summer!

The Magnolia Community Farmers Market is BACK and better than ever and OH How we missed you!!!!
Back on Lexington Ave, where we belong, the Farmers Market will be open weekly from 10am-1pm (closed the holiday weekends of July 4 and Labor Day).
Safety is still of our utmost concern. With state and local guidance lifted for outdoor venues, we will strive to make each market open and comfortable for outdoor shopping. Our Vendors’ and Farmers’ booths will be spread evenly down the street to make for ample space for distancing. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the market as well. Masks will no longer be required, though we ask everyone to practice kindness and caution to keep each other safe.
