Uncle Frank’s Pizza

Posted on by Nichole S.

Uncle Frank’s Pizza. I picked Thatcher up at work the other day and he was starving. With Finn off with friends, I told Thatch we could order quick take out. He asked if we could get Uncle Frank’s Pizza. I, for some reason, had not heard of it, but was happy to give it a try. Thatch gave it high praise and evidently he and his friends order it quite a bit. Uncle Frank’s Pizza is located in the Commons Plaza at 214 Eastern Avenue on the way from Gloucester into Rockport. We ordered the Four Cheese Pizza, Thatcher’s choice, and it was delicious! He was happy to tell me all of the other things he has tried….and I look forward to ordering it again. Delicious food, really friendly staff, and a super convenient location! Give it a try!

Another Great Day On The Water

Posted on by Pat D

We recently took a trip with Cape Ann Whale Watch and spent another great day out on the water. We did not have to go far, but the whales seemed to be deep feeding so time spent in camera range was very limited. It was delightful to see mom Pinball and calf together. If the naturalist Jessica was right, we got to watch a little bit of the calf being fed by mom Pinball. We also spotted a number of minke whales. Capt Johnny Karvelas stopped along the way back to show us a number of seals off the rocks. When we go toward Jeffrey’s Ledge (north) we also get the chance to view the twin lighthouses coming together in line and then apart again as you see here. So even if there isn’t an abundance of intriguing whale behaviors, it’s always a good trip. The other crew names I caught were Angie, Jesse, Dave, Ashley, Brynn and Zoe. I am sure I missed someone but all were, as usual, terrific. Highly recommended activity!

Stage Fort Park Playground Groundbreaking by Gloucester Rotary

Posted on by Pat D

The Gloucester Rotary held its weekly meeting today picnicking at Stage Fort Park prior to breaking ground for their signature project at the playground. From the Rotary website:

The Gloucester Rotary’s signature project is supporting the Stage Fort Park Playground and Bandstand.  Since 2007, the group has gifted several major pieces of playground equipment to the City of Gloucester.  In addition, the group has raised funds to support major repairs and maintenance on the bandstand, including partnering with Precision Roofing Services of New England to replace the bandstand roof in 2021. 

A great turnout hosted by emcee Senator Bruce Tarr, who had several shovelfuls of “dirt” upended!
