Goodlinens Video From Doug Mclean

Hi Joey,

First off, my wife and I love the blog and have been longtime readers! We’ve just moved back to town after being away for several years and are now running our own small video production business called Yellow Hook Productions. Not sure if this is something you’d want to post, but we wanted to share a video we recently made for our friend and neighbor Joanne Chirico’s business Goodinens.

We love her towels and really believe in what she’s doing and thought other folks in the area might like to know about it – plus the video was filmed entirely in Gloucester! We’d also love to spread the word that we are very interested in working with other local small businesses on their video needs.

Thanks so much!
Doug McLean

How the Hell Does The Blue Lobster In #RockportMA Not Get More Love On Social Media?

Uhmmm,  $7.95 For homemade hash with Hollandaise and two poached eggs over English muffins. With views of Motif No 1 and Rockport Harbor.  Stupid good,  and way too good for none of the Rockport twitterati to ignore.  Thanks for a great meal.

Seen in Gloucester From Rich Sagall

I saw the Apple Maps van in the Dunkin’ Donuts on Eastern Ave. this AM. The Bing Mapping van was in our office parking lot earlier this week. 

Gloucester is really going to be on the map.

We can turn back the hands of time, but not that far …

Just when you’ve lost a few pounds, gotten yourself into decent shape, and are feeling good and proud of yourself, you stumble across that 45 year old photo which tosses all illusions out the window.  Surfing buddy, Karen Husby, and I at Ogunquit Beach, ME, circa 1970.

Cape Ann Clergy Go All In On Gloucester Initiative

Dear friends,

Under the leadership of Police Chief Leonard Campanello, the Gloucester Police Department recently began the Gloucester Initiative. Through the Gloucester Initiative the Police Department has offered itself as a conduit for on-the-spot treatment for those who suffer from opiate addiction. Anyone who is ready to receive help can come to the Police Department and be immediately connected to a treatment facility without arrest.

As clergy we understand the deep, hidden pain of people struggling with addiction. We have seen the stigma that drug addiction, in particular, causes. We believe that the love of God and inherent dignity of every person compel us to come alongside those who struggle and suffer, whether they are in positions of power and prestige or have been relegated to society’s margins.

We are so pleased to voice our support for the initiative and its accompanying angel program. We gladly lend our voices and hands of support to the efforts of the Gloucester Police Department and the many groups and organizations who have already partnered with them. We encourage others to do the same.

With hope,

Cape Ann Clergy
