Haircut & a shave with a view inside and out
BlackBear Barber Shop, 260 Main Street, Gloucester, MA

My View of Life on the Dock
East End Main Street, Gloucester, Massachusetts, street-level retail news
Before building out a new space at 261 Main Street, next door to Alexandra’s Bread, The Black Bear Barber Shop will set up instead across the street at 260 Main Street. The business will be the first commercial tenant in the new 260 Main Street multi use building. (Cape Ann Animal Aid was the last tenant in the razed building.) There was a chance to customize plumbing for a ground floor retail space and it might mean more customer parking.

Settling into 260 Main Street rather than 261 means that 261 Main Street (Eastern Point Lit House was last there and seasonally PRESENT) is available to rent.

From the Times:
The Cape Ann Symphony celebrates spring with the Spring Pops Concert this weekend to herald in the warm season.
This lively concert features the return of soprano Junko Watanabe to perform a selection of arias. The orchestra will showcase works by Tchaikovsky, Barber, Glinka, Rodgers and Hammerstein and local composers Tom Vignieri’s “Sonic Debate” and Robert J. Bradshaw’s “The Schooner Adventure” — a musical salute to Gloucester’s restoration of one of the last of her proud sailing vessels.
A wine bar as well as light refreshments and snacks will be open a half hour prior to the concert and during intermission for both performances.
The concert takes place Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m., at the Fuller Auditorium located at Blackburn Circle, Route 128, Gloucester. Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for senior citizens, $20 for college students and free for children under 18 years old.
