My View of Life on the Dock
‘Tis the season for lots of care and maintenance to get boats back into the water. When watching all the work getting done in boat yards, the Railways, and on the waterfront you can definitely tell that summer is inching closer.
Sharing information regarding 5 Star Phresh Phood from their Facebook page:
We took a ride and stopped to watch happenings along the Ipswich River a day or so ago. We were delighted by this trio of loons hanging out and feasting. They obligingly stayed close enough to watch for a while. It’s another sign that spring is upon us! Check out additional pictures and story details on Facebook at Pat D’s Photos and Adventures.

The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation presents Miranda Aisling in concert on April 5th in the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church
Local interdisciplinary artist Miranda Aisling (ash-lean) will perform a folk concert at the Gloucester Meetinghouse on Saturday, April 5th at 7:30pm. Aisling will be joined by musicians Matt Lefebvre on bass and Phil Benjamin on guitar, adding rich layers to her evocative folk sound.
Aisling’s original folk songs blend frank vulnerability with insightful social commentary. A classically trained pianist who shifted from Bach to the Indigo Girls, she brings the lively spirit of a folk festival to her performances, engaging audiences with a mix of sung and spoken storytelling.
Since moving to Gloucester in 2019, Aisling has performed to enthusiastic full houses at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center, the Manship Artists Retreat, and MAGMA (Movement Arts, Gloucester, MA). As a member of the Treehouse Charlatans, she has performed at the Lanesville Music Festival, the Cape Ann Museum, and Art in the Barn.
The Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church is located at the corner of Church and Middle Streets (GPS 50 Middle Street). Parking is available on the green. The admission for the event is $20 General, $5 Students (all ages), under 12 free. An elevator is available from the side door at 10 Church Street.

Even though it was not a totally sunny day on Tuesday, our walk was nice, and the sunset did not disappoint,
Inbound…
Should be a great night at Harbor 9.
Please leave a comment. Thanks, Joey
We stopped by the newly re-done Charlie’s Place for lunch this week. For the record, it feels like exactly the same Charlie’s Place on Bass Ave that you remember, just a bit fresher. The service is the same friendly efficient service you are accustomed to. I ordered the reuben that was on the specials sheet for the day and Jim got a grilled cheese and tomato. The reuben was outstanding….I like my to KNOW there’s sauerkraut on my reuben and this one hit the spot. Jim always enjoys his grilled cheese which must be fairly popular as I heard others placing the same order. But the highlight of my visit to Charlie’s is always the strawberry shortcake. I love the warm biscuits and the real strawberries. Perfection. Thanks Charlie’s! We are very glad you are back!
I used Flowbird App at 3:32. Get ticket at 3:34. I’m a guy that respects and actually feels bad for the meter maids. I take responsibility when it’s my fault and don’t pay but it’s really irritating that this system can’t get it right It’s frustrating for me, a guy that is extremely technologically saavy. This Flowbird app is definitely keeping seniors who may be intimidated by technology from coming downtown.
The Magnolia Pier with the curve makes it very inviting especially as the sun is setting. So grateful
Good Morning Gloucester
