GloucesterCast Virgins Death Row Meal/Sub Picks
Here are the updates from this past week’s podcasts. These first time Gloucestercasters (“virgin podcasters”) are asked what sub they would order if on death row. They are also asked what would their last restaurant meal be. Here are this week’s answers to those searing, thought-provoking questions……. thanks to everyone for participating!

Here’s the previous week’s list for reference, because who doesn’t want to reference last week’s answers?

We stopped briefly at Pebble Beach recently to soak in some of the relaxing sights and sounds of the waves and the gulls. Except to take these pictures, we stayed in the car to ensure social distancing. We had been out and about looking for potential blog material and we stayed just a short time. But it was long enough for a driver passing by to shout a suggestion that we “go back to f***ing New York”. So much for humanity and understanding on this person’s part. For myself, I hope I always remember how isolation has felt. I hope I always remember to reserve judgement as we don’t know the other person’s story. And I hope I’m never heard shouting the F word in public………
So here’s some actual relaxation I do hope to remember and repeat.

GLOUCESTER, MASS. (May 7, 2020) – In an effort to boost the city’s spirits during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cape Ann Museum is presenting a CAM Contemporary exhibition involving the projection of an illuminated multilingual message on the nights of May 6 to 8, 2020, saying “Thank You Frontline Heroes.” The installation is called “In Gratitude.”
“We know many of our neighbors, friends, and families are struggling at this time of social distancing, isolation, and anxiety around health and financial concerns from the coronavirus,” said Museum Director Oliver Barker. “We want to send a message of solidarity, gratitude and hope to our community.”
This “Thank You Frontline Heroes” illumination planned for the side of the White-Ellery Barn at the Cape Ann Museum Green, 245 Washington Street in Gloucester, was created by Stephanie Terelak Benenson, a North Shore artist and founder of the nonprofit, Harbor Voices…
