Sidewalk Butt Buttlers
Thank you to Gloucester’s Clean City Commission for Magnolia’s two Butt Buttlers. On Wednesday, Nick, a volunteer with the Clean City Commission installed two buttlers at The Magnolia Library and at Magnolia Landing. Please remember that cigarette butts are litter and DO NOT BREAK DOWN. They get into our ocean and pollutes our air and ocean, streams, rivers and lakes. Please use these buttlers. I will be emptying them and will bring to the DPW. Hopefully this stops the mess of butts on streets and sidewalks.

Garden Blessings
The gardens are put to bed for the winter. I will miss the beautiful days in the sun tending them this summer. The beauty of the flowers, birds, butterflies, and all the other friends that stop by. There is so much peace in the gardens by the sea, the waves lapping against the shore, the boats passing by, wind surfers and beach goers. The seasons pass and the garden sleeps till spring renews!

Nest Real Estate Completes Gloucester’s Third Largest Single Family Home Sale in Last Ten Years
Gloucester, MA. (October 30, 2017)— Nest Real Estate, LLC is pleased to announce the sale of 129 Atlantic Avenue, Gloucester MA, known as “Terra Firma,” for a sale price of $3.85 million.
Previously linked to rumors about a potential purchase by Mark Wahlberg, the sale of 129 Atlantic is the third highest single family home sale in Gloucester over the last ten years, according to MLS records.
The sale is also further evidence of a resurgence for high-end properties on Gloucester’s “Back Shore,” as it follows the recent sale of 24 Bass Rocks Road for $4.4 million on August 30th. Sales of this magnitude are a rarity in Gloucester, as MLS records show only nine single-family homes trading in excess of $3 million over the preceding 10-year period.
“We worked tirelessly to market this listing” relates Syndi Zaiger, Nest’s founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Bass Rocks is quintessential New England, and Good Harbor Beach is one of the best family beaches in all of Massachusetts. “With direct views out to Thatcher Island,” she adds “this is one of New England’s most spectacular settings. ”
Founded in 2014, Nest Real Estate is a cutting-edge, boutique real estate agency, with headquarters at 21 Union Street, Manchester-by-the Sea, MA.
Participating in the sale alongside Ms. Zaiger were Nest agents Krista Julian and Jill Fucillio-Ciaramitaro.

Back in the Day: GHS 1944-45
I recently purchased a copy of the 1944-45 Flicker, the Gloucester High School Yearbook and was intrigued by the story it told. So step back and take a look through the eyes of high school students in 1944-45:
The high school football team apparently had a very good season!
Remember these?

Emergency Motion! Berkshire Museum dramatic courtroom hearing
On Wednesday, November 1, 2017, there was a hearing in Berkshire Superior Court concerning efforts to block the upcoming Sotheby’s sale of Berkshire Museum art. Judge John Agostini presided over the hearing. Apparently the plaintiff cases were not enough; the Attorney General’s office filed an emergency motion DURING yesterday’s two hour hearing. There was a large audience. More than one observer felt that the courtroom scene looked like a Norman Rockwell painting. Judge Agostini said he will make his decision soon.
Here’s the conclusion from The Berkshire Eagle article by Larry Parnass (they’ll be getting awards for their coverage):
Trustees acted unreasonably, she said, by treating the art collection as “fungible.”
The term refers to a commodity that can be traded for something else, such as cash.
Instead, Aladro said, the board turned away from its “core legacy” as a museum and took steps that will sever its connection to cultural institutions it needs to hold future exhibitions. “You ask what the museum did wrong,” Keating said to the judge. “They violated their own written policies.” Briefs filed in the case show that trustees voted to sign a contract with Sotheby’s weeks before removing provisions from policies that prohibited selling art in the way it intends. Keating also accused trustees of secrecy. “They knew there would be pushback. They didn’t want to face this.” He pointed to an email sent last May by the trustees president, Elizabeth McGraw, that asked fellow trustees to keep quiet. The subject line of the email read, “Loose lips sink ships.” “They didn’t want this ship sunk,” Keating said.

Creating The Ultimate Sandwich On The @WeberGrills Weber Q 200
The Mrs wanted a gas grill to cook outdoors. After a search on Craigslist I picked up a Weber Q 200 that had great bones but needed a good amount of douching. A couple of hours or elbow grease, a rubber scraper and a scotch brite pad she was ready to cook on.
I can see why a Weber charcoal BBQ guy would like the Q series as a gas grill. They are very simple to put together, the parts are readily available (thank you Boots at Foster’s Grill Store), and they have some great features like the way the grate is designed to prevent flare-ups and grease drippings from clogging your burner tube.
I’d recommend a Weber Q over any Sears bought $100-$800 gas grill that will disintegrate in a year or two’s time.
Here’s a fantastic sandwich I made yesterday on the Weber Q 200 at the…
