My View of Life on the Dock
This video makes me laugh every holiday season. “Holiday Bartender” with Matt Catanzano summarizes many a girls’ night out! Click here to see the video.
We had a wonderful time for the Middle Street Walk and especially Deck the Docks and Lobster Tree lighting. What a beautiful tree this year! Special thanks to Gloucester 400+ and to Maritime Gloucester for making the day very memorable for so many. Santa thinks Gloucester is full of very very good boys and girls of all ages.





Hanukkah falls between December 7th-15th, 2023. Temple Ahavat’s community lighting ceremony to mark the beautiful Festival of Lights and hope will be held on December 12th this season.
I’m reposting a photo from last week that showed how the Lobster Trap Menorah looked in the morning snow, and at night; also public menorahs on Main Street Gloucester and Rockport. Swing by to see a new candle lit daily after sundown.

Photo & video caption: Scenes from the Dedication Ceremony and reveal for the new permanent public art commission on Stacy Boulevard, ‘Fish Baskets’, 4 bronze planters by sculptor Chris Williams. Landscape design by Ann Gilardi Johnson. Support for the project was spearheaded by Generous Gardeners, Gloucester DPW, the City & State, Gloucester 400+, and generous donors. Ann Gilardi Johnson and Chris Williams have the long color design goal in mind. After several years, the four bronze planters will naturally oxidize as a protective coating forms, covering the surface with a green patina. They are intended to age and complement the iconic and cherished copper-green of Gloucester’s Fisherman at the Wheel.
