The fog rolled in yesterday morning and the scenes from the boulevard were pretty spectacular, especially the flags. I also caught the Tuna Hunter coming in and out of the fog bank. Have a happy 4th!

Gov. Baker announced that most of Massachusetts will move into Phase 3 of the reopening plan starting Monday July 6. Boston is excepted, but those allowed to loosen restrictions and/or restart include gyms, tour buses at half capacity, casinos, fitness centers, museums and cultural venues (all with capacity and distancing restrictions in place as well). None of this loosens our personal mask wearing and social distancing guidelines! We must stay alert.  Importantly, phase 3 will not allow bars and and nightclubs to open yet.

Boston Globe coverage can be found at this link. The Massachusetts state website also provides information here.

Here are some snapshots from yesterday’s (July 2 2020) daily update. It was disappointing to see the number of deaths shoot up a bit after the dramatic ZERO day recently so we know we need to keep our guard up even as we are stepping forward. For myself, I cannot wait to get back to my microfilm research at the library!

Sean Nolan and his team are the most reliable, honest car repair guys I’ve ever dealt with.  There are other good shops but I’ve never received the kind of boutique level service I’ve got at Extreme.  if you’re having problems trust me on this one, go see Sean.

The luminArtz Facebook page announces the following scheduled for this weekend (July 3 and 4th)! It sounds like an awesome event, especially since we can’t have fireworks this year…….

Friday and Saturday Night starting at 9:15 luminArtz and Communications, Ink will “Light Up The Night” for a celebration of Independence Day, 4th of July celebration by projecting on the paint factory on Gloucester Harbor. This beautiful display of oceanography with images of fireworks will make this holiday very special and memorable. Ocean Alliance, our partner, has been a gracious host allowing luminArtz and Communications, Ink to transform this iconic building into a work of art for the whole community to experience. We hope you will tell all your friends to wear a mask if you’re viewing from the boulevard or the I4C2 location in Downtown Gloucester. We hope to instill pride in all who live in this great community of Cape Ann. Tune in live here on our Facebook and HAPPY 4th!

We had a wonderful dinner at The Studio on Rocky Neck last night. Lovely evening, half price food, seeing friends, staying masked and distant….it was a great experience. The menu has new and returning items for you to select from. My baked haddock with lobster bisque was absolutely perfect! Jim had the lobster rolls and there was none left to share. I highly recommend you check it out. I don’t know how long the half price food special will last. Call or check their Facebook page for updates.
