“Twilight Lounge” on Pleasant Street
Just got this note from Meg of the “Neighborhood Apothecary“:
I came up with a crazy idea the other day that we will be trying on Sundays from now until November. There will be a “Twilight Lounge” in the courtyard in front of the shop (17 Pleasant Street) from 5:30pm to 10pm. It will feature tea for $1, dancing, and some great old tunes. Dress is casual or retro, whichever people prefer. There might be sweets if I can get some of the local bakeries on board. Very family friendly.
Have a good one!
Meg
Mayor Kirk stopped in to the Neighborhood Apothecary recently, and I just happened to be there to snap this photo of Mayor Kirk with Meg:

Happy Labor Day and don’t labor too much,

Sefathia Writes In
Today in Gloucester as I write there is a rush to get ready, who is doing there hair, getting their red carpet dress the buzz is this is the event of the year..I am in Newport enjoying my time with friends and family even though I would be there in a heart beat, I can’t so I am writing this to Felicia (Sister Felicia) as were all now gotten to know her as. I want friends to know that I couldn’t be more proud of her. Not because of the cook book but the dedication behind it, proud of her family( husband, children, mother and brother ) who had to endure her crazy long nights to get the recipe down perfect to make sure it was done right, which turned out easy to make and taste delightful. I would go over and really razz her oh come on Sista your grandmother didn’t do this we would laugh and joke but really she got every grandmother Sicilian grandmother’s recipe changed them around figured the little bit of this a little bit of that some of this too and made it a recipe for all and then she would make it to today’s reality of spices and ingredients etc. She made a series of cook books to make sure the Sicilian-culture is kept alive, she made it so our children can cook the old recipes of our ancestry. Pretty amazing if you ask me in between she missed parties, and gathering to finalize the book for over a year we all got a little taste and yes Sister Felicia got a lot of teasing (all in good fun) from the Godmother who she calls Padrina, and we had a lot of fun nights getting crazy ingredients from all over, but in the long run she was determined and tonight is her night well deserved she has made the Sicilians of Gloucester proud, and yes her Padrina couldn’t be more proud of her.
Lots of love Felicia the Godmother Sefatia

‘From Ships to Shores’: Doryman left fishing to pursue painting
Doryman left fishing to pursue painting
By Gail McCarthyStaff Writer
The son of a Gloucester fisherman, the late Paul Francis Frontiero Sr., began fishing with his father at the age of 12.
He did not know then that this would become his way of life for many years. He never finished Gloucester High School because his father was injured while fishing and he had to leave his studies. As a result, he spent many years laboring in jobs at sea.
Frontiero, born in 1925, even worked as a doryman, an avocation that became extinct; with the innovation of the motorized trawler, the dory fishing industry began to wither in the late 1930s. However, he remained in demand on the port’s fishing vessels because of his skills as an engineer and cook.

Paula Cole’s Noise Interview is a MUST READ for every musician and music fan!
Yesterday we were treated to one of our new monthly pleasures: T Max dropped off a few copies of the September issue of The Noise Magazine. It’s one of the perks of living in Magnolia, which, since T Max moved to Gloucester, happens to be right on his delivery route as he takes The Noise to Beverly, Salem, and on down to Boston.
This is an especially good issue, the highlight of which is Eric Baylies’ wonderful interview with Grammy-winner and Rockport native Paula Cole. Paula invites us into her creative process and shares her profound wisdom on the music business in one of the most insightful artist interviews since John Lennon’s 1980 Playboy interview. Paula gives us too many wonderful quotes to list here. You’ll just have to read the article. Kudos to Eric for asking all the right questions, to T Max for printing the whole thing and especially to Paula for allowing herself to be honest, personal and profound in print, without so much as a care in the world for the usual hype and meticulous grooming that usually attends a new CD release from a major star, such as her.
Among many other gems in this issue are two exceedingly entertaining reviews by T Max of live music at Beverly’s Block parties and the Big Shot of Inge Berge by Sheila Roberts Orlando, which proves that Inge is one of Gloucester’s most creative artists!
Good Morning Gloucester
