BREAKING NEWS: Stage Fort Park Trolley Shuttle is BACK!

Posted on by Vickie & Peter
Stage Fort Park Trolley Shuttle

We just got word from Bob Ryan at CATA that, since the Blynman Bridge weight restriction has been lifted, he was able to scramble and get the Stage Fort Park Trolley Shuttle up and running starting on June 21!  See the trolley schedule here.  This is excellent news for everyone who drives in Gloucester during summer weekends because it means fewer cars — as well as anyone who benefits from tourists coming to Gloucester (which is just about everybody who lives and/or works here as I explain in this post).

Way to go Bob!

My name is Ashley and I am a four-month-old Retriever mix.  I will be medium in size when I am fully grown.   I am smart eager to learn and looking for a forever home.  I am here at the Cape Ann Animal Aid (CapeAnnAnimalAid.com), located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter, Four Paws Lane in Gloucester.  I have been asked to tell you about the Sato Reunion to take place on Saturday, June 7 at Stage For Park in Gloucester, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. (rain or shine). I hope it doesn’t rain, I can’t do anything with my hair when it gets wet.
Maybe I will be adopted in time to attend the reunion!

Dory Row, Gloucester

I shot this dory photo with a Nikon 500mm mirror lens. The heavy 500mm beast is known for recording reflected points of light as circles, or "doughnuts." Measuring almost 12 inches long, a tripod is required for sharp photos. Doughnuts do not a great lens make, and I was happy to unload it a couple of years ago.

You know how repetitive the work we do down here is.  Without a creative outlet I’d probably lose my mind.

Hi Joey! I have attached a poster for a small exhibit of photographs
opening at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum this Saturday in case there
is room this week. We were given an album of photographs taken in the
early 1920’s by David E. Burnham and have enlarged some of them.
Although the photographer died in 1943, were he alive today I think he
would have been an enthusiastic GMG contributor. Thanks. Nancy Dudley

CRAIG’S FAV JOINTS – SURFSIDE PIZZA & SUBS

Posted on by Craig Kimberley

This is the inaugural episode of my new series that showcases anything I’m really diggin’ at the moment. And right now, I’m feeling me some SURFRIDER PIZZA. You may know that they have great subs on fresh baked bread, but do you know how awesome the pie is there? This place churns out some amazing specialty pies, one of my favorites being the Pollo Pesto, trust. But in this episode, I go in deep for the classic: pepperoni and cheese. For me, it’s all about hand tossed, freshly made thin crust. I’m not about some sweet sauce either, that’s just wrong. Some call in New York style, I call it proper. Whether it’s a white garlic pizza, pesto, red sauce, you name it, SURFRIDER has something for ya!
