The picture is not out of alignment, the City Hall Tower still has a lean to it.

Christmas Celebration At Gloucester City Hall circa 1900

In years past City Hall was used for celebrations.

These photos come from the Cape Ann Museum through Maggie Rosa.  The Banana Glam O Rama should be a real celebration and great fundraiser to help restore City Hall.
I’ll post some more old photos of City Hall over the course of this week leading up the the Glam o Rama.

View From Gloucester City Hall Bell Tower 9/01/09

As you climb up the stairs get steeper and narrower and narrower.
The pigeon crap covers everything and if you want to use the hand rails- you’re gonna be touchin’ the poop.    There’s just no way around it.  When I got back to the dock I scrubbed my hands for about 15 minutes with joy dishwashing soap.

Maggie Rosa emailed and invited me to take some video and pictures in the City Hall Bell Tower.  I’m pretty happy with the footage.  You’ll see them over the course of the next few days.
