My View of Life on the Dock
Please see the attached press release regarding the availability of online applications atwww.lovecapeann.com for 2022 Cape Ann Community Foundation grants.
The Cape Ann Motor Inn is truly “on the beach.” Whether from out of town or nearby, you should put waking up to this view on your summer bucket list. Located on it’s own stretch of private beach at the quiet end of Long Beach, with a beautiful view of Thacher’s Island, Cape Ann Motor Inn is about as idyllic as it gets. Park your car, enter your room through one door, and leave your cares behind as you take in the view from the large sliding glass door at the other end of your room….. to immediately feel a million miles away. Every single room faces the ocean and sits beachfront. Walk onto your deck and have your toes in the sand within seconds.
We make a point of staying for a couple of nights each summer even though we live just a few short miles away. There is nothing better than staying on the beach late at night, walking to your room, and waking up to the sound of the waves early the next day. With long, easy days and no agenda but to enjoy the sun and ocean, it is truly the most perfect “Stay-cation.”

I had some time to kill over the weekend, so I took a little walk around the Railways to see what was new. I noticed some of our Wicked Tuna friends spiffing and polishing up their vessels as well as the Schooner Adventure getting some work done. Always interesting though I am careful not to go down during normal work hours.

Sunday drives never get old. Lucky.
The 1950 federal census was released to the public last week after its mandatory 72 year old embargo. It is providing historians, genealogists and the general public an intriguing peek into post WWII life. Here are some samples from Gloucester with some familiar family names. These are families living in the Fort Square area of Gloucester in 1950. Fishing is the predominant industry which may seem obvious, but it’s still neat to see the varieties of occupations within that industry.
If your name fell on a certain line within the census, you were asked additional questions including where your parents were born. In this example, nearly all parents were reported to have been born in Italy. Also seemingly obvious but verification is soothing.
Sometimes you find special notes such as the one you see here that 2 men at a particular address could not be reached for response as they were out fishing and no one knew anything about them or their return (or the neighbors just kept their lips zipped). These records are currently being indexed but are now available for browsing at this Archives link. Enjoy these image examples and your own browsing!
