Good Morning Gloucester

12PM Parking Ban for Sunday, February 7

PARKING BAN

A snow emergency parking ban will be in effect beginning Sunday, February 7 at 12 PM and will remain in effect until further notice due to an upcoming winter storm.   

Parking is available at all municipal and school parking lots but it is at your own risk. Due to the possibility of minor coastal flooding parking will not be available in the lower lot at Gloucester High School.  

The City of Gloucester will give residents ample notice when the parking ban is rescinded to allow for the removal of cars from off street parking areas before parking enforcement teams will begin ticketing and towing.

 All residents and businesses are reminded that they are responsible for clearing snow from sidewalks adjacent to their property. Please make every effort to shovel out hydrants at, or, near your homes, and please check on your elderly and disabled.   Your cooperation during this parking ban is necessary for efficient and safe snow removal efforts.

EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE

If you are in danger, call 911 for immediate assistance. Emergency teams are prepared to assist anyone in need so call 911 right away. We remind all to take caution while traveling and to make safety your top priority.  Thank you for your assistance and please use 911 for any emergency needs. Stay safe!

Hi Joey,
Could you post letting people know that our 20% off jewelry sale tomorrow, February 7th, is cancelled due to the storm forecast? We will not be at the store tomorrow, and will let people know when we’ve rescheduled. Thank you!

Hello Joey, 
Build Back Better. I am a jewelry designer from Gloucester, MA. I have a compelling story of how I changed the narrative of the pandemic into one of opportunity and affirmation.
The American Craft Council recently published an article about my jewelry brand. Here is the link: https://www.craftcouncil.org/post/unexpected-path-deeper-practice
I would love to continue this narrative for your audience. I look forward to connecting with you.

All the best,

Derek Mirabiliochief designer & owner

I was fascinated by the color and shapes the ice and frost took at Niles Pond during the recent cold snap. The ice looks a little bit like frosting on a cupcake on that stone!
