Margarita Monday At Machaca

We took advantage of Machaca’s early Monday opening celebration of Cinco de Mayo by stopping in for Margarita Monday (naturally). It was jam packed in there with people celebrating this unofficial holiday but our service was on point, efficient and friendly. I had the Blood Orangita. I do love their sour mix! Gracias Machaca!

Help Build Gloucester’s Future Today

2025 Sawyer Free Library 🌸 Spring Appeal

The future of the Sawyer Free Library is rising on Dale Avenue—and it’s breathtaking. On schedule and on budget, our modernized library is nearly complete and set to open its doors to the Gloucester community this fall!

This transformation is about more than a building. It’s about what happens inside, and every floor tells a story of inclusion and innovation.

On the Ground Floor

  • A cutting-edge Digital Learning Lab 💻
  • A Local History Research Center with an 85” interactive display and digital archive
  • A 100-seat Community Room for performances, workshops, and forums

On the First Floor

  • A warm, inviting Reading Lounge and expanded collection 📚
  • A Quiet Room for focused study and reflection
  • A newly expanded Matz Gallery showcasing Cape Ann’s artistic talent 🖼

On the Second Floor – 9,500 square feet devoted to Young Minds

  • A Light-Filled Children’s Room
  • An Early Learning Center supporting literacy from the start
  • A Creative Program Room for hands-on exploration
  • Gloucester’s only dedicated Teen Space and Creation Studio

We’re building more than a library—we’re creating a future where knowledge, equity, and opportunity can thrive. This is a library for everyone: every age, every voice, every dreamer. But we’re not quite there yet.

To everyone who has supported the Sawyer Free Library project—thank you. Your generosity has brought us this far, and we’re proud of what we’ve built together. Now, as we prepare to open the doors, we invite you to help us complete this transformational project by donating to the 2025 Sawyer Free Library 🌸 Spring Appeal.

Tuesdays At Hammond Castle

Did you know that the Hammond Castle offers free admission to Gloucester residents on Tuesdays? It happened to be rainy this past Tuesday, so we decided to take advantage of that offer to go take a look at the special vinyl records exhibit currently running at Hammond Castle (Hesperus Ave). We were not the only ones taking advantage of being inside during inclement weather as there were plenty of other visitors on hand while we were there. If you haven’t been in a while, maybe Tuesdays would work for you to plan a visit sometime soon! The vinyl record exhibit is fascinating.
