Testifying at the State House in support of Great Neighborhoods Bill- artists, seniors, housing
On May 2nd I joined people across the state who were asked to testify before the Joint Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government in support of the Great Neighborhoods Bill. Partners for the bill include Ma Smart Growth, The Trustees of Reservations, Mass Audubon, and MAPC. I was speaking about artists, seniors and live/work space, accessory apartments and multi family housing. I’ve never testified at the State House before, though I’ve been there often for events and art visits. The last time I went to the State House was when I went with Fred Bodin. This day was a long hearing, so much so it required a move to continue. The entire building was brimming with impressive hearings. It was fascinating to hear the testimonies and see the committee members in action. They don’t want anyone leaving MA!

Good Harbor Beach inspires 1972 Chevrolet Blazer Building a better way to see the USA tagline
Chevrolet. Building a better way to see the U.S.A.
“72 Chevy Blazer. Because the good places start where the good roads end”
Well, yeah. At Good Harbor Beach, Gloucester, MA.
Vintage ad with Chevy trucks Oh and people on a picnic probably atop piping plover nests. Now we know better…Anyhow, this creative campaign was inspired by the Bass Rocks motif with that iconic Edgar J Sherman house on Sherman’s Point, parts bolted down nearly a century by then. I like the green truck’s wheel tucked in with the gang.
Here’s the song from the commercial (mentions Cape Cod). Dinah Shore was part of the 1950s version.
and I enjoyed this timeline of Chevrolet advertising. The image for 1972 features a lobster shack stop in Maine
“Chevrolet ended a sponsorship of the Soap Box Derby that dated to the Depression (see 1935) and began to sponsor another youth-oriented event, the Junior Olympics. In dropping the derby, a Chevrolet executive said: “With today’s changing life styles, young people in America have different needs, attitudes and interests. To keep pace with the changes, we must develop creative new programs that are responsive to modern attitudes.” Interpublic Group of Cos. bought Campbell-Ewald, marking what at the time was the biggest agency acquisition in history (based on billings). Interpublic already owned another major GM agency, McCann Erickson. Chevrolet promoted its 1972 line with the theme, “Building a better way to see the USA,” recasting its 1950s theme. 1972 Chevrolet U.S. vehicle sales: 3,037,885 U.S. market share: 24.0%”

In case you missed this morning’s sunrise!
Just in case you missed this morning’s gorgeous sunrise! I caught it out at Farnham’s in Essex. It’s amazing how the skies change in such a short period of time. It started out as rain showers and just bloomed from there. These were taken at 4:45, 5:15 and 5:30am. What a great way to start the day!
