My View of Life on the Dock
While in New York recently I checked out a fruit and vegetable cart at 93rd and 2cnd. Got to speak with a few other people at the cart too. Overall pretty grumpy crowd of former football and baseball fans… Even though they decided I was not to be liked, I was allowed to represent GMG!
No explanation needed for this headline — unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks.
Lots going on tonight — if you hurry down to Mile Marker One you can catch Dan King’s last set. See today’s full schedule, below. Great music all week long — see here.

Hi Joey-
Yesterday, when we returned from our morning row, we saw two (very nice) workers who are in the process of inspecting the integrity of the docks in our Harbor.
Looking up, we also saw our (always nice) Harbormaster, Jim Caulkett.
Smiles all around-a great way to start the day!

Hey Joey how are ya? Was wondering if you could advertise for us, Bailee is having another event next saturday Oct 26th, she will be selling Hot Apple Cider to raise money to buy toys, coloring books, crayons and stickers to bring up to Beverly Hospital to the pediatric ward, Bailee was hospitalized in the end of August, and was not allowed in the toy room because they were not sure if she was contagious, so all they really had was a old coloring book that was filled, and a baby wipe box full of broken crayons, Bailee was inspired to do this event so that throughout this flu season kids that are on precautions and arent allowed in the toy room will have the opportunity to get their own “prize” a toy, coloring book, etc, we are just asking for no stuffed animals….

Hey Joey,
This is Stefanie over at Alchemy. We have an event coming up on the 29th of October called the Pumpkin Challenge. It is a competition between 2 chefs ( our chef Scott Jensen) and Stacy Cogswell from the Regal Beagle in Brookline using a pumpkin as the main ingredient in each dish. We are also doing a pumpkin carving challenge as well among the guests to see who can carve the best pumpkin. First prize is $100 and second prize is $50. For each pumpkin that is entered into the contest, $5 will be donated to the Open Door Foundation.
I was wondering if you could post something about the event on Good Morning Gloucester.
Hi Joey,
During two Trails and Sails weekends and the last Block Party, the Committee for the Arts (CFTA ) was pleased to participate and spread awareness about municipal art. One event: during the block party we were at Main and Parsons, near a very busy Markouk booth (always busy at Cape Ann Farmers Market, too), fried dough and candy truck (not just kids buying!), Dress Code’s charmingly illuminated booth, and Joe Ciolino’s. What a gorgeous night! We spoke with dozens of folks including the group of twenty youth from Ocean Classroom en route from Maine to Puerto Rico with a stop in Gloucester and a night out downtown. Parsons Street public art mural by James Owen Calderwood.
Send us your photos and we’ll add them in! gloucestercfta@gmail.com
Enjoy photos from Saturday’s Gloucester Committee for the Arts/Block Party/Trails and Sails!
Gloucester Block Party is making some “best of” and “top” event lists. Here are a couple of nice mentions:

I loved your recent turkey photo. When I travel across the state via Amtrak (the slow route), the autumn fields are full of flocks of wild turkeys, seeking corn leftover from the harvest. The train eventually travels along the Missouri River, and sometimes I’ll see a turkey at the river’s edge.
I hope you enjoy this marvelous season, and I look forward to your new and interesting posts. By the way, I might enjoy your meatloaf since it includes bacon:-)
Kindest regards,
Ann

Visit Ann’s stellar blog, Haddock and Dill, which was inspired by a 40 year written correspondence between her mother and grandmother. It is a blog of letters that chronicle the life of one American family. The collection of nearly 2000 letters, notes and cards contain photos, clippings, and comments on everyday life, beginning in 1941.
While talking with Thom Falzarano the other day, he was saying how much he was enjoying photographing up in New Hampshire where there was rusted old farm equipment and grazing horses to photograph. Although these are grazing donkeys, not horses (I know my barn animals) – that is a cool old rusted piece of farm equipment, and they are right here in Gloucester. Does anyone know where?

Salem is Rocking this month. It’s a lot of fun walking around and seeing all the people who get into the spirit of the time. But of course there’s always someone who wants to ruin it for all the others.
