My View of Life on the Dock
Kristy’s Hair Salon had burnt down along with Magnolia Pizza many years ago in that devastating fire on Fuller Street. Now Kristy’s hair salon is back. The salon is located at 15 Lexington Avenue, Magnolia, Gloucester, MA.
She is very happy to be back.
Are there schooner fishermen in your family tree? Not just those who fished from Adventure’s dories, but any schooner. If so, you and your family members can sail free of charge with us on Sunday, August 18, from 2 – 5 pm. It is a great opportunity to experience some of what your forefathers went through to put bread on their tables and fish on tables across the country. Bring the kids so that they can see a little of what made Gloucester what it was then and is today. Join us for the afternoon and share your family stories with others, help raise the sails, and learn some family history.
Call the Adventure office at 978 281 8079 to sign up today, space is limited.

From Kevin Henry
Elinor Teele, a local author, has teamed up with Spike Wademan, an award-winning artist & illustrator, to launch a FREE chapter book for kids on her website.
• It’s a comic tale called Fisher Jim: http://elinorteele.com/fisher-jim/
• Read Chapter One: http://elinorteele.com/fisher-jim-chapter-one/
Please share the book link with as many folks as you like—this is a free resource that’s meant to celebrate the joy of reading!
ABOUT FISHER JIM
Told in the voice of a 10-year-old, Fisher Jim is the hilarious saga of a boy’s adventures on the ocean. Though names have been changed for fictional purposes, kids will recognize Essex, Ipswich Bay, Lanesville, and many more Cape Ann landmarks in Jim’s story.
HOW THIS ONLINE CHAPTER BOOK WORKS
Just like magazine serials of the 1950s, two illustrated chapters will appear every Wednesday on Elinor’s website, from August 14 until October 23, 2019. Families can enjoy each chapter in a digital form or download it as a PDF for printing.
LOCAL ACTIVITIES
Perfect for reading aloud, Fisher Jim is a true North Shore tale, full of salty humor and local characters. The book site also includes plenty of links to kid-friendly activities and organizations around Cape Ann. Choose your own adventure!
This Saturday August 17th The Jantelles will be performing their 50’s & 60’s Jukebox Hits for your bowling enjoyment!!!
When the bridge goes up on the Stacy Boulevard, pull over and check out the beautiful harbor and city we call home.
