Good Morning Gloucester

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.

 

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.

Check out Three Lanterns Ship Supply for all your recreational fishing gear needs.  They’ll get you set up right!

 

Hey Joey this is my friend Hilda.  you’ve been to her house and dropped off calendars around Christmas time.  I guess everybody is Italian during fiesta week😎🇮🇹

The Mayor’s most recent COVID update (June 22) included the following information regarding dining outside on Main Street: Later this week, sections of the right side of Main Street from the Hancock Street area down to the west end will be cordoned off as some Main Street establishments prepare to offer al fresco dining – which will be available by this upcoming weekend. Let’s all continue to eat and shop local – by spending your dollars locally, you are helping support your neighbors and investing in our community’s recovery.

So, it appears it’s really happening this weekend since, as promised, sections of the right side of Main Street have already been cordoned off in preparation. This is exciting to see!

Hoping to see you on Main Street this weekend!

A cooling fog rolled in on a late afternoon recently. Half Moon Beach goers were not deterred.

I am ready for indoor dining, though I accept some of you aren’t ready yet. We went to Jalapenos on Main Street to celebrate the first day of the return of indoor dining this week. Service is presented a bit differently, we will all have changes to get used to. But the quality of the food and drink remain! I was especially missing their frozen raspberry margarita and GMG Jim got a beer. We had chicken fajitas (the picture is a bit cloudy from the steaming platter…..yum…..) and a chorizo quesadilla. It was so very nice to eat from real dinnerware again…..I didn’t realize how much I missed plates and silverware.
