During the Block Party on September 20, 2014, TBT Post at 33 Main Street, Gloucester, MA has a great fun way to win a gift certificate. Richard and Mario have made little candy treats with the colors of the Italian flag for customers. Inside the treat bag is a raffle coupon with a number. There will be no need to fill out the raffle ticket with your name, because when the raffle ticket is picked, Richard and Mario will post the winning numbers at the store. Love this idea.


Tommy Porter in the office talks about his days on the Hannah Bowden.
One of the great storytellers of our time.
My dream team for a reality fishing show- Tommy Porter, Tuffy, bring Carlo Moceri out of retirement, Scrobie, Pete Mondello, Pete Libro back in his crazy days, Mark and Tom Ring.
I’m 46 years old and have been down the dock since I was 9. To date there was never a better show than when we were offloading Carlo Moceri’s Morning Star. Inevitably Carlo would lose his shit and start screaming and I’d never seen anyone turn a shade of deeper red in the face than Carlo. Carlo is one of the most passionate guys you’d ever wanna meet and an awesome guy.

Cape Ann TV’s Field Switcher
Be on the lookout for the Cape Ann TV mobile production van!
This year Cape Ann TV has invested in a portable field switcher that was proudly unveiled at the September 11th Manchester/Essex vs Rockport girl’s field hockey game at Manchester/Essex Regional High School.
This field switcher allows Cape Ann TV to cover more events with multiple cameras and dramatically enhances the production quality. Turnaround time will also increase significantly because games and events will be edited live, right in the van!
“We are thrilled to bring this powerful new equipment to the community. This is a huge step toward improving the depth and breadth of not just our high school sports coverage, but coverage of all types of events on Cape Ann,” said Executive Director Erich Archer.
If anyone would like to get involved with these productions please contact us at 978.281.2443. Classes are going on now.
The field hockey game will air on Cape Ann TV’s Channel 20 on Friday, September 19th at 3:00 p.m.

Rapha Super Cross Gloucester and the Hive to Host Photo Exhibition
For two days a year, the beauty of Gloucester’s Stage Fort Park serves as the backdrop for one of the biggest cyclocross races in the US. The historic race is also a stop on the global tour of the Rapha Super Cross Series, spanning Japan to England, Australia to the US.
Ben Ingham’s Theatres of Cross: Exhibition explores the essence of Gloucester’s character – and the character of the other stunning race locations around the world – during those other 363 days. This seaside town’s long history and understated beauty feature prominently in this photo exhibition as it travels to Manchester, New York, San Francisco, and Gloucester’s own art space, The Hive.
The opening reception from 7-9 pm on September 25 will feature light refreshments. The exhibition will remain on view through Friday and Saturday, coinciding with racing events at Rapha Super Cross Gloucester.

Gloucester Writers Center and the RAPHA SUPER CROSS GLOUCESTER sponsor presentation by author Lorenz J. Finison on “Boston’s Cycling Craze, 1880-1900.
September 27th, 2014, 7:30 PM
Cultural Center of Rocky Neck, 6 Wonson Street, Gloucester
There will be a presentation and book signing by Lorenz J. Finison, founding member of Cycling through History and author of Boston’s Cycling Craze, 1880-1900 on Saturday evening at 7:30 at the Cultural Center of Rocky Neck. The event will follow the Pro Cyclocross Race held Saturday at Stage Fort Park. Finison explores the rise of Boston Cycling through the lives of several participants, including Kittie Knox, a bi-racial twenty year-old seamstress: Mary Sargent Hopkins, publisher of the Wheelwoman; and Abbot Bassett, a vocal cycling advocate for forty years. Finison reveals the challenges facing these riders in a time of segregation, increased immigration, and debates about the rights of women.
Fro 1877 to 1896, the popularity of bicycles increased exponentially, and Boston was in on it from the start. The Boston Bicycle Club was the first in the nation and the city’s cyclists formed the nucleus of a new national organization the League of American Wheelmen. Massachusetts had the largest per capital membership in the league in the 1890s and the largest percentage of women members.
There will be a suggested donation of $10.00,. $5.00 for students with proceeds benefitting GWC community education programs. As always at GWC events no one will be turned away for lack of funds. For more information go to gloucesterwriters.org.
After the chill of early morning filming, my favorite place to stop along the way home is Brothers Brew. The coffee is really, really good–smooth, flavorful, never bitter, and always super fresh (even the decaf). Their housemade doughnuts, TO-DIE-FOR!
Brothers Brew’s current seasonal selection of delicious donuts includes apple cider and pumpkin glaze.
