“Stay in the street,” we tell the Zip Line Kid, who sees 20 friends at the Block Party
No pictures (if you want pictures click here). Just a quick note to say that one main goal of the Block Parties (to build community) was realized last night for kids and adults alike.
Now that John has his own phone (more about that here) we figured he could enjoy a bit of freedom at the Block Party as long as he stayed within the blocked-off section of Main St. (sounds funny telling your kid to stay IN the street) and checked in with us every fifteen minutes or so.
At the end of the night, I asked how many friends he saw. “At least 20,” was his immediate answer. “Kids from the cast [Holiday Delights], kids from school, kids from camp, kids from St. Ann’s, kids from all over.”
Vickie and I connected with at least as many — and met a few new friends.
The Block Party worked!
But there’s more — a dozen live music choices on Cape Ann today. Keep the momentum going. Don’t stay home. Check them out here.

Sea Turtle Sighting From SAL RANDAZZA III
Hi, Joey
My wife Joan and I were on our way back from Tillies Bank about 17 miles SE from shore when we spotted the turtle. We thought it was a piece of debris. I have spent lots of time on the local waters and have never seen a sea turtle. It is no shark but it was pretty cool to see.

Two photos of the Thomas E. Lannon, taken aboard the Ardelle, towards the end of the sunset cruise to benefit The Gloucester City Hall Restoration. The first is a sunset photo and the second at dusk. It was a fun event with great food and entertainment on a calm, beautiful summer night in Gloucester harbor.
Take care — Christopher Lewis

Fun at the Block Party
This was my vacation week and Mike and I enjoyed an amazing stay-cation, right at home in Gloucester. I can’t believe I have to go back to work on Monday! Today we had an amazing day paddling with Cape Ann SUP (if you haven’t done this yet– what are you waiting for?) and tonight Mike and I spent the evening having fun at the Block Party.
First we had dinner at the The Franklin on their roof deck; which I didn’t know they had until tonight (the food was awesome and was devoured before I took any pics).
We also did some shopping and bought this awesome pillow from Pop Gallery. The pillow is double sided with the Kraken and ship on one side and a New England map/Jolly Roger on the opposite. Perfect for our guest room.
I hope you got to enjoy the Block Party too. It’s obviously a great event to bring the community together and great for local businesses. Any local business that wasn’t involved is just silly. It’s a must-be event!

Topside Grill Serving Al Fresco Tonight!
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that tonight we have a beautiful outdoor seating area set up today for the block party!! Come enjoy dinner and cocktails on our patio an watch all the fun stuff going on around you. We will be accepting reservations as well if you want to guarantee yourself a spot. The Gloucester Block Party is a fun time where all of Main street closes down for the public to enjoy. All the store fronts stay open late and set up on the sidewalks. All the rest of the shops and restaurants do the same thing. There will also be entertainment and live music. The city does it 3 times a year (3rd Saturday of July, August, & September) If you haven’t checked it out yet, definitely try to come and see what it’s about!! Hopefully see you tonight 🙂
Thanks,
Doug Silva General Manager Topside Grill

Robert Louis Stevenson Quote of The Week From Greg Bover
July 20, 2012
To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 – 1894)
Born to a Scots family of lighthouse builders and the product of a strict Presbyterian upbringing, Stevenson suffered ill health his entire life. After a desultory attempt at an engineering degree, he devoted himself to his art, first as a travel writer and later, a poet. In his early twenties, he moved to the south of France for his health and wrote much of his best known work, including Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He married an American woman, Fanny Osbourne, and moved to Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks. With the financial success of his novels he continued to search for a climate that would improve his health, traveling widely in the South Pacific, befriending the King of Hawaii, and eventually settling in Samoa. He spent much of his few remaining years working against the European missionaries and colonialists who dominated the politics of the islands, taking the name Tusitala (Storyteller). He died of cerebral hemorrhage at 44. During much of the twentieth century he was dismissed by academics as a writer of children’s adventure tales, even though Hemmingway, Kipling, Borges, Nabokov and Chesterton all cite his influence on their work.
