GloucesterCast 122 Cape Ann Real Estate With Kenny MacCarthy and Host Joey Ciaramitaro Taped 3/18/15
Kenny MacCarthy started the GloucesterCast with me over 4 years ago. I love how Kenny doesn’t sugarcoat anything to do with Real Estate. There is so much to learn from him about the inner machinations of the Real Estate world today.
If you have a home to sell or want to work with someone that you can trust to give you the straight information instead of trying to sell you something at all costs whether it is the right fit for you or not, Kenny is your guy.

Sigrid writes about her new location for Sigrid Olsen Art, “This is for all of my customers who have walked up and down Pineapple Ave in Sarasota looking for my shop, and those who, in the future, will be pondering my absence on Rocky Neck. I am sorry. I miss my little retail snapshots of both communities but am enjoying a new chapter. I have collected all my belongings, my artwork and set up a studio and office in my new home on Siesta Key in Sarasota, Florida.” Read more on her Facebook Page here.

Early this morning daughter Amanda and I were reminiscing about this years Novean while looking through dozens of photos downloaded onto my computer. It’s with mixed emotions I write todays post. Feeling incredible blessed to be surrounded this year by so many who share a devotion to St. Joseph. As a group through the power of prayer we have come together to continue the deep rooted Sicilian tradition for future generations. It’s been wonderful to see the young kids join us in prayer and song each night. It truly warmes my heart to see them inthustically following their prayer books eager to learn the Sicilian words! It’s been a wonderful 2 weeks of prayer and preparation for our celebatory feast on Thursday March 19th. It’s hard to believe that tonight is our last “Novena” of the 2015 celebration. I have to thank my faithful Novena ladies for everything they did to make this years so special…the memories we made, the laughs we had, the tears we shed, and the jokes we told, and the stories shared will be remember for a lifetime. As Andrea reminds us each night “we got at least 30 more years of this together ladies!” Please know from the bottom of my heart ,I thank each and everyone of you for being by my side night after night and I very much look forward to the next 30 years together. Tonight we pray one last time together, and tomorrow we celebrate our Patron Saint Joseph!
Viva Gesu Maria Giuseppe….Viva!

Don’t get me wrong. I grew up at the awesome Ground Round in Danvers where you could watch little film strip movies, play games, and chuck peanut shells and popcorn all over the floor. It was fantastic.
Fast forward, however, to now….and to Halibut Point Restaurant.
I love it there. I’m all for a quick meal and a beer sitting at the bar talking with Jack. I’m also not afraid to dive into the basket of peanuts that is inevitably placed directly in front of me. I do, however, while snacking….place my shells in the extremely convenient glass bowl that is ALWAYS strategically placed in close proximity to the peanuts themselves. What I don’t do is channel my inner 7 year old….and chuck the shells all over the floor.
So, that being the case, I was a little surprised to watch someone eating peanuts and throwing the shells with reckless abandon…this way and that…all over the floor last night (that may be a slight exaggeration).
So, I ask you… If and when you happen to dine at Halibut Point…do you use the bowl or do you chuck shells on the floor? Be honest.

Three years ago, the nation’s top utility executives gathered at a Colorado resort to hear warnings about a grave new threat to operators of America’s electric grid: not superstorms or cyberattacks, but rooftop solar panels.
If demand for residential solar continued to soar, traditional utilities could soon face serious problems, from declining retail sales and a loss of customers to ‘‘potential obsolescence,’’ according to a presentation prepared for the group. ‘‘Industry must prepare an action plan to address the challenges,’’ it said.
The warning, delivered to a private meeting of the utility industry’s main trade association, became a call to arms for electricity providers in nearly every corner of the nation.
Three years later, the industry and its fossil-fuel supporters are waging a determined campaign to stop a home-solar insurgency that is rattling the boardrooms of the country’s government-regulated electric monopolies.
Wow, solar has come that far that the Electric companies are fearing them as making them potentially obsolete. I had no idea when Brian O’Connor signed up and qualified for Solar at his house that he told me that it’s actually going to pay him to have solar panels installed.
In my mind solar went from not to long ago something that rich environmentalists did to feel good about themselves to now a viable financial alternative that makes sense not only for the environment but also for the pocketbook and for the common man.
Check out what East Gloucester’s Brian O’connor’s Solar Energy advisor had to say in our interview a couple months ago-
Hi Joey,
Just a quick follow on Brian and Diane O’Connor’s Solar evaluation.
Brian and Diane’s home has qualified and they have decided to put rooftop solar on their home in Gloucester. (Only 15% of homes in MA are eligible.)
Because of their home’s orientation to the sun and other factors, their entire cost will be covered by various federal, state and utility incentives. In fact they will actually be making money over and above their cost. And getting 90% of their electricity for free.
If anyone else would like to find out if their home qualifies, I just need their contact information and our techs will initially rate the home via satellite. If it qualifies, we can up with a time for us to talk about how it all works. (About 90 mins.)
I am in the process of working with several other Gloucester residents and will keep you posted on their progress.
