My View of Life on the Dock
A little wind and cold doesn’t stop these kids from sailing. I have always loved the juxtaposition of large fishing vessels heading to/from a long day of work next to the delicate optis and 420s with their colorful sails dotting the harbor.
Mark your calendars! Fiesta 2026 is on the horizon!
We were happy to see FOB Bex Borden during her recent visit to Gloucester. She’s been an important part of Good Morning Gloucester and we have missed having her around but we are glad to know she is settled into life in Maine. Welcome back friend!
Meet Aster, Arctic, Alaska, & Alba! This adorable four-pack of puppies made the journey from Georgia and are ready to find the loving families they’ve been waiting for! These sweet pups are everything you could hope for – friendly, affectionate, and full of happy puppy energy. They love people, enjoy playtime with their siblings, and are always up for snuggles after a good romp. Whether they’re chasing toys, exploring their surroundings, or curling up for a nap, their gentle and social personalities shine through.
Alba has joined our extended stay program, meaning her fee has been reduced in hopes to find her forever home!

Even on a dreary day, the beach makes me smile.
Still Winter…
Cape Ann masters, in their own words:
“Gloucester became an artistic challenge – all coastal days have a certain amount of ‘fog’ to them…I am always aware of the atmospheric shifts in sea air.” – Emile Gruppe (1896-1978)
“I became energized and revitalized…capturing the soft prismatic glow of air – atmospheric perspective.” – John Twachtman (1853-1902)
“I became a Folly Cove artist…capturing atmosphere and light – where people live and work and play.” – Leon Kroll (1884-1974)
Additionally, Theresa Bernstein (1890-2002), William Meyerowitz (1887-1981), Hayley Lever (1876-1958), and Gordon Grant (1875-1962) experienced powerful shifts in air, light and color captured by their ambitious experimentation while working on Cape Ann. Come experience our carefully curated display of masters showcasing their journey – while breathing rarefied air.

GLOUCESTER, MA – The Gloucester Council on Aging’s Rose Baker Senior Center is announcing a new name and brand identity, marking an important step forward in its ongoing commitment to meeting the evolving needs of older adults in the community.
Following a membership-wide voting event held on March 11, the Center’s new name and tagline were officially selected: Rose Baker Center for Aging Well, with the tagline “Where community comes together.” The process invited participants to help shape the future of the Center, reflecting that it is, at its heart, their space and their voice.
Supported by a grant from the Massachusetts Council on Aging, this rebranding was informed by diverse community input. The new name reflects a broader, more inclusive vision of aging, one that emphasizes wellness, connection, engagement, and a strong sense of belonging.
“This new chapter for the Rose Baker Center for Aging Well reflects Gloucester’s deep commitment to honoring and supporting our residents,” said Mayor Paul Lundberg. “By centering community voices throughout this process, we are helping to create a space that is welcoming, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of all who call Gloucester home.”
As part of this transformation, the Center will undergo several improvements in the coming months, including updates to the front desk, reception area, and lobby, new exterior signage, a refreshed mission statement, and the development of a new website, which will all be designed to better reflect the Center’s identity and enhance the experience for participants.
“This process has been rooted in listening to our community,” said Director of Elder Services, Elise Sinagra. “What we heard was a desire for connection, visibility, and a space where people feel welcomed and valued. The Rose Baker Center for Aging Well reflects that vision, and we’re excited to continue growing together.”
The Rose Baker Center for Aging Well remains dedicated to providing high-quality programs, services, and opportunities that support older adults in living active, engaged, and meaningful lives in Gloucester.

We happened to be driving through Manchester but had somewhere to be shortly so we decided to stop at Boo Bird on Central St for lunch. We are always pleased with our experience there. It was a little quiet mid afternoon on a weekday but the service and food was excellent. I ordered the American Rice Bowl and Jim had a chicken sandwich. Perfect portions, great setting and varied menu add up to a win-win.

Thanks To Frank Ciolino for these old pictures.
This picture is taken from where the Pigeon Cove Whole Foods/ Montagnino Building is looking from the inner harbor outwards. Note the broken down piers and abandoned boat.

Huge progress since we first checked in on Barbara Koen’s Dress Code Downtown Tomato Garden. I frankly don’t know what she’s gonna do with all the tomatoes that are growing in her little patch. There must be at least triple the amount of tiny green tomatoes gowning now than there were a couple of weeks ago. I also spotted what looked to be some basil growing.

Toward the end of the day on Saturday, decided to take a walk on Shore Road. The sun was out and the sky was clear.
