Thank You Minglewood Harborside!

We thoroughly enjoyed our inside meal at Minglewood Harborside this week. Distanced tables, masked (friendly) staff, and a nice breeze flowing through the dining area made us feel safe and welcome. I had my favorite baked haddock and Jim got the combo plate. Fresh and delicious meal with refreshingly cold drinks added up to a terrific dining experience. Thank you Zach and staff! Welcome back. See you again soon.

Screen Porch Dreaming

There are few things more delightful in the summertime than a screen porch. As New Englanders, we recognize the need to make the most of the months we can spend outside. A screen porch makes that easy.  Instead of dispersing to your own corners of the house, the whole family will be able to spend time together, outside, and without the bugs. This space can both add value to your home and increase the amount of quality time you spend with your loved ones. Screen porches can do it all.

Halibut Point State Park Parking Open Again

We are very happy to see that the parking lot for Halibut Point State Reservation has reopened! Our first clue was the lack of parked vehicles just beyond the “no parking here” signs along 127. And, in case you were as unaware as I was, parking is free in the lot for Trustees members with pass displayed. I am looking forward to going along those trails again very soon.

New Fish Workers Mural Coming Along on Commercial Street

This new mural, located on Commercial Street not far from Cape Pond Ice, is coming along very well! I love it already.

Commissioned by Awesome Gloucester, the Fish Workers Mural is “intended to honor the legions of people who have made a living “on fish” by working jobs on land.” Thanks to Josh Falk and Dane Woulfe of Studio Fresh and Awesome Gloucester for this new work of art in the neighborhood.
