A Room With a View

Posted on by Nichole S.

A room with a view. Admittedly, rooms with views are common in these parts, but that shouldn’t negate just how pretty it is along the Essex River. I was so happy to enjoy a nice lunch with a friend the other day at CK Pearl. The tide was super high and, even in January, the scenery was gorgeous. Those mussels too! …. But, that’s a post for another day.

Dinner With Friends At Oak To Ember

Posted on by Pat D

We went with our friends Susan and Leo to the new Oak to Ember restaurant on Rogers Street. Formerly the Cape Ann Brewing Company, the inside has been completely gutted and renovated to reflect an entirely new vibe. And it succeeds in being a real treat for the eyes as well as the palate. Our server Cheri answered our questions thoroughly and easily. We ordered calamari appetizer along with shrimp cocktail and oysters. Susan and Leo split a flat iron steak entree while Jim had the smoked chicken. I tried the wood grilled lobster, something new and delightful for me! We shared some apple cake for dessert. We lingered over our meal and drinks chatting with our friends. There was a steady flow of customers ranging from families to couples like ourselves. Cheri didn’t rush us out the door, which we appreciated. It was a delightful experience. Welcome to Gloucester, Oak to Ember!

January sky 1/25/2023, Gloucester, Ma. This morning’s elongated cloud roll/cloud shelf tube wrapped around the coast and tapered to a funnel horn tip. Views passing Good Harbor Beach and Long Beach

A shelf cloud stacks with the storm cloud. A roll cloud doesn’t. Both were at play today. The roll was prominent 8AM to noon.

I AM MORE PROJECT

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

From our talented friend and artist, Amy Kerr

For Immediate Release

I AM MORE EXHIBIT AT NORTHSHORE MALL

Portraits and essays addressing how we are more than our mental illness, health diagnosis, disability or life situation.

January 24, 2023, Gloucester, MA—From January 21st through February 25th the traveling exhibit I Am More can be seen at the Northshore Mall in front of Macy’s. The exhibit features pastel and colored pencil portraits by Gloucester artist Amy Kerr, accompanied by essays written by the subjects describing how they are more than their life challenges. This is the third I Am More exhibit hosted by Northshore Mall, and this year new portraits address surviving Covid, growing up with Alopecia, coping with hearing loss and tinnitus, cultural differences in dealing with mental illness, depression in the clergy, and coming out as gay as a teen.  The exhibit will include mental health resources and emergency number cards, and for the first time will include Spanish translations for all of the essays.

“Amy Kerr’s I Am More project is combining art and personal storytelling in a unique and powerful way, to bring the issues of mental health awareness out of the shadows and into public spaces to engage communities and start conversations,” says John Rosenthal, Founder of PAARI (Police Assisted Addiction Recovery Initiative), Friends of Boston’s Homeless, and Stop Handgun Violence.
