Emily the Meter Elf

Posted on by Pat D

Meet Emily. Yesterday she was going up and down Main Street putting extra quarters in each meter as she went along. Just to be nice. Just to share a little holiday spirit. Just to give you the extra 30 minutes  you might need on a Saturday afternoon in December.  Her parents accompanied her every step of the way. BTW, they are FOBs! THANK YOU Emily and family for paying it forward! You certainly put a little extra spirit in my heart yesterday.

GMG RADAR confirms 1PM today Santa Arrival in Rockport

Posted on by paultmorrison

We thought Kris Kringel would chicken out since dead low tide is coinciding with Santa Sleigh-Boat arriving in Rockport Harbor. 1 PM and Santa will scoot up this ladder the way Sandra Bullock did in high heels!

Santa will have a longer climb today! Vegas odds: Old Saint Nick will make it.

Mason Jar Sip & Straws Are Awesome

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I don’t know about you but I love drinking out of mason jars.  The big ones with wide mouths.  In the summer, in the winter, I just love their timeless nature and heft,

These lids screw on the top and come with re-usable straws.

You can get them on Amazon here–

Grand Banks Building Products Give Back

Posted on by Pat D

We attended an Open House held at Grand Banks Building Products on Craft Road last Wednesday. Joey conducted a live to Facebook podcast interview regarding Grand Banks efforts to collect Christmas items on behalf of Wellspring, a local charity to be distributed this holiday season. It was a lovely event showcasing Cape Ann Olive Oil as well as pizza from Bravo in Manchester-By-The-Sea. Although the December 6 deadline has passed, I’m sure you can still participate by contacting Wellspring Holiday Wish List at http://www.wellspringhouse.org. Just looking around their showroom had me wondering how they might feel about providing products for work in Central New York……
