My View of Life on the Dock
Make a point to swing by Googans Galley in downtown Essex over the weekend. Finn and I stopped in for a Pumpkin cold brew and a grilled cheese sandwich last weekend….both were delicious. The baked goods looked wonderful as did everything else on the menu. There is also a really great selection of items for sale that I look forward to going back and browsing when I have more time.
As the seasons change and we realize there are things we need around the house, it seems like a good time to go check out what’s new at Second Glance on Pond Road. We did that and were reminded that winter is coming! There are holiday decorations and clothing now available (thinking about the Ugly Sweather party?) though we were looking for some furniture. We did find EXACTLY what we wanted at a very reasonable price. It’s definitely worth a look-see AND you are helping the Open Door at the same time. Win Win.

Cape Ann Paddle Tennis Club New Location To Open in November
Taking Limited Number of New Members
During the pandemic many outdoor sports realized unprecedented growth and that certainly was the case for Platform Tennis which saw a 30 to 40% increase in players according to Noah Seidenberg, founder of Xenon Paddle, a new manufacturer in the Platform Tennis Industry.
Cape Ann Paddle Tennis Club experienced the same growth in players and will be moving from their current 3 court location in Annisquam to the site for Spindrift YMCA near Wingaersheek Beach. With the move, they have purchased 4 new courts and plan to build a paddle hut in the near future.
While the club had to turn away new members until they move to the new location, they are now taking a limited number of new members.
WHAT IS PLATFORM TENNIS?
Platform tennis is an American racquet sport played by thousands of people of all ages and ability levels
across the country. Developed to be enjoyed outdoors in cold weather, this easy to learn sport offers vigorous outdoor exercise combined with friendly interaction. This unique game attracts people who desire fresh air, competition and social engagement – even on a chilly winter’s day or night. The sport creates and builds strong communities, because most facilities offer compact courts and warming huts, which are a fun place to gather and be active together.
The game is played on an aluminum deck about 1/3 the size of a tennis court and is surrounded by a 12′ high superstructure with taut, 16-gauge “chicken wire” fencing that allows play off the walls, as in racquetball and squash. The court surface is infused with grit so that play can continue in inclement weather. Players often colloquially refer to platform tennis as “paddle” or “paddle tennis”. Platform tennis is a great game on many levels. Unlike golf or tennis, learning to play is relatively easy. In addition, strategy is equally as important as raw power. In that sense, platform tennis entails the power and speed of tennis mixed with the strategy and patience of chess. It is, as a consequence, highly addictive.
WHAT ACTIVE PLAYERS SAY ABOUT PLATFORM TENNIS:
“It’s the very best outdoor activity in town that is affordable to all age groups. Camaraderie, friendship,competition, social play, great time after the play in the hut, girl’s night out, men’s and ladies’ leagues, you name it this sport provides it. The club is the place where members bring their friends and family to spend quality time together.” Ania Kazakevich, Manager, Head Professional Wilmette Park
District
“Paddle tennis is a blast, and the culture is one of good sportsmanship no matter where you go in the country.” Alyce Dwyer, Jamestown, RI
“One word, addictive, my kids love it, my husband loves it. We can spend time together”.
