Good Morning this is Robert Liebow Superintendent of Schools. I am calling today to inform you that there was a serious physical assault in the middle school hallway this morning before school started which involved two middle school students. One student has been transfered to the hospital and the other student is in police custody at this time. Rockport police are here at the school and have determined that it is safe to continue with school today. They will be here throughout the day today. Of course as parents you have the right to dismiss your students as you see fit. I will contact you again later today as more details become available.

I couldn’t help but take a quick photo of this couple stealing a quiet moment on the beautiful deck of the Beauport Hotel early last night. All bundled up (and unrecognizable) in front of both the fire and a gorgeous sunset.

OK, so maybe a better title would be “Hearse House Along the Highway”, but I didn’t think that had quite the same ring to it……. It’s still quite pretty in its own way.

I noticed the open window because a bird hopped in. I didn’t stop to see what ensued but I was reminded about a GMG reader question: Who remembers Cher Ami and homing pigeons of Gloucester?
There’s a 2nd little pane missing on the Main Street side.
What’s in a name?
The 1810 brick building, Gloucester’s first, at the corner of 2 Main and 3 Washington Streets, now features Tonno Restaurant. The exterior has remained relatively unchanged since it was built in 1810 by Col. James Tappan. On the inside it’s been mixed use more often than not (various businesses, restaurants and lodgings). As a result it’s gone through a lot of rebranding: Puritan House, Tappan’s Hotel, Atlantic House, and Capt Bills are a few of the names associated with this historic structure. The Blackburn Tavern signs were added in 1978 for a restaurant.
Still Standing
The brick building at the other end of Main Street with Halibut Point Restaurant & Pub was Howard Blackburn’s actual tavern.
Fun fact: Col. Tappan taught young Daniel Webster.

Good Morning Gloucester
