Annisquam Exchange
A visit to the Annisquam Exchange (32 Leonard St., Annisquam) takes you out of the more frequented areas of Gloucester and Rockport and into the beautiful, historic, small-town atmosphere of Annisquam. Not that downtown Gloucester and Rockport aren’t charming, but Annisquam seems to me to have an even more magical air about it.
The Exchange is a consignment store that sells antiques, china, silver and collectibles (as described on their website), as well as some other cards, souvenirs, tee-shirts, etc. It is open from May to October, with hours that vary according to the season, clearly laid out on the website.
Here are a few photos from my visit!

Huge Thanks To My Partners On the Red Carpet
Huge thanks to The Beautiful Lillian LoGrasso and Top Community 1 percenter Rick Doucette for co-hosting the pre-Gala fashion red carpet festivities.
Also a monumental thank you to our good friends David Cox, Thom Falzarano and the incredible Kim Smith.
The night was an incredible success mostly in part to Felicia’s fantastic planning and Sherry DeLorenzo and her crew’s excellent execution at Cruiseport.
What I’m most happy about is that my peeps Thom and David and Kim came through in capturing the crowd- our friends and family and that is what makes this blog so special. That we try to make it about community.
Success all the way around due to the best team in the business.
Look for David’s photos soon as well as Kim’s awesome video coverage of the Red Carpet!!!

Adventure Returns, 1988
Fred Bodin Submits-
Schooner Adventure came home to Gloucester in 1988, twenty five years ago. The arrival was a grand event, and included the USCG, many private boats, and a blimp. Celebrations continued after she docked. The honoring of Adventure will commence again this weekend. She is the host and star of the visiting schooners.
No, that’s not the Hindenburg in the sky, it’s the Goodyear Blimp! This photo got me started on schooner photography. They are so graceful and beautiful. That’s John McNiff’s Whaler behind Adventure. This was a significant moment in Gloucester schooner history. What a day! A few years later, she was painted in her original “fisherman’s black.”

Salty Dog Day at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum
The Essex Shipbuilding Museum will be holding its popular Salty Dog Day on Saturday, September 7th, from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm (rain date Sunday, September 8th).
All are invited, with their 4 legged friends, to participate in this wonderful day filled with activities for people and dogs alike and to learn a little of the unique history between dogs and our maritime past. This year the museum will have special events which will be kicked off by the Salty Dog Costume Parade (for the dogs not the people). Prizes will be given for the Best Nautical Costume, Best Dressed, and Judges’ Choice. Demonstrations being done by dogs will happen throughout the day and will include: Newfoundlands doing carting and water demonstrations, Boston Snow Dogs doing mushing, and dogs from Fit-n-Trim Dog Training doing Agility. There will be live music by Livin’ on Luck. Gary Foreman from the USS Constitution Museum will tell us about the Guerriere the Terrier who was aboard Old Ironsides, and the Schooner Adventure will be reading “Skippy’s Adventure” a children’s book about Skippy who was on board the Adventure.
For those wanting to wander and try new things there will be lots of other activities for kids and dogs , and for adults there will be the Barque Avenue marketplace. Should hunger strike, wander over to the Salty Dog Galley.
At 2:00 pm there will be the opening reception for the new exhibit: Salty Dogs: A Maritime Legacy. Included in that exhibit will be the winners of the Salty Dog Day Photo Contest.

The Always Super Delicious Passports Restaurant Lunch
Lunch at Passports is always a treat. Daughter Liv had the very filling and super yummy pulled pork sandwich. I had the wonderfully tasty and seafood-rich Adriatic stew. I only had my iPhone with me and didn’t get a great snapshot of our waitress Laila, but she was wonderful as well. Thanks Laila and Eric for the fabulous lunch!
Good Morning Gloucester
