Submitting a photo for the boat dog series. This is my friend’s dog, Goose! His owners are Joe and Beth Shafner.
Love seeing all the dogs! Thank you!

In the Groove…

Last spring Marshall’s Farm Stand underwent an extensive remodel that allows them to push out their shoulder season well past Halloween through December 2023. The unassuming door on the right was relocated–broadened into two and centered for the new entrance into an expanded country market with a great selection of fresh produce and fare. An impressive fleet of cold and freezer cases lining the length of one wall are stocked with customer favorites, supermarket standards, and assorted frozen meals, all with a focus on local. I imagine this expansion saves residents in the immediate areas a trip past the rotary. For everyone else on a scenic drive or going for a walk on Wingaersheek Beach, it’s nice to know Marshall’s Farm Stand is open in November and December and worth the trip.

Gloucester small business owners serving Cape Ann: Salon 127 (978) 283-2555
The stylists at Salon 127 are creative and talented. The salon’s vibe is laid-back and uber professional. There’s no pressure for clients to sign up for more than they bargain for or to purchase products. It’s the kind of beauty parlor where after you go friends will compliment you and want the name. Eventually your spouse books a haircut, then your kids, your mother, neighbors, summer guests visiting or in for a wedding– and all and all everyone is pleased with the results! One day, owner and stylist Meghan Harnish called, “I have an appointment on this day and time. Does that work for you?” She noticed everyone else had cycled through, but I hadn’t taken any time for myself. I grabbed the cancellation, and my hair returned to its natural color :). Great customer service. Walks in are welcome.
