Congratulations to Powers Family Dental: 2024 expansion, a new location, and on being 4th-gen local legacy business right here in #GloucesterMA!

Posted on by Catherine

What an impressive family affair! Congratulations Dr. Powers and Dr. Powers 🙂 !

Powers Family Dental has moved from 26 Dale Avenue to 18 Dale Avenue. Dr. Conor Powers, Dr. Michael Power’s eldest child, has joined the practice and is as congenial, warm and fastidious as his father. What hasn’t changed? The wonderful staff and dental hygienists! Michael’s sister Gina Muniz and niece Candace Balboa also work at the office. The expanded practice features six gleaming exam rooms outfitted in comfort and style with the latest and innovative equipment, efficient dental chair tech, custom sound system, and imaging–the x-ray being the sole carry over from the prior digs.

The new headquarters is closer to Central Grammar, directly across from the post office, with plenty of windows and views. Parking is available on Dale Avenue plus there are a few spaces on the building lot. From Dale Avenue, the accessibility entrance integrates a classic New England architectural detail into its design: a sweet and safe bridge crossing walkway to the front door. More Power To You 🙂

Portraits: Drs. Powers providing dental care since…1926!

“Walter Powers Sr. started the business in 1926 on Middle St. In 1957 Walter Powers Jr. joined and they moved to 26 Dale Ave. In 1999, Michael Powers joined at 26 Dale Avenue. On September 16, 2024 Conor Powers joined and the practice moved to 18 Dale Avenue.” – Candace Balbo

Michael Powers maternal grandfather, Reginald Courant, was also a dentist- on Middle Street!

This spring awakening is calm. Most of the homes remain prepped for winter.

Do you know how many front row cottages line Long Beach?

Motif Monday: Gloucester Crossing

Posted on by Catherine

It’s not common to integrate a bridge into New England homes. From where I was standing, a few of the intriguing thresholds in Gloucester and Rockport that announce their entry. Whether simple or ornate, necessary or whimsical, or both –who doesn’t like a journey and a bit of suspension? I enjoy thinking about themes of transition, space and connections.

#BOOM! Coastal Living magazine calls Gloucester a "Coastal Dream Town"

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joey,
More positive national media coverage for Gloucester: Coastal Living has a great article on Gloucester in next month’s issue. The article calls Gloucester a "Coastal Dream Town" and says Gloucester has a "rare combination of urban spirit and historic charm."
"An enthusiastic nightlife scene featuring live theater and local bands is bolstered by a restaurant renaissance," the article says about our city.

Great job by you and local Remax Realtor (and GoodMorningGloucester contributor) Kenny MacCarthy for talking with the reporter and providing colorful quotes in the story.
Matter Communications started talking with Coastal Living, one of the top lifestyle and travel magazines, about Gloucester two years ago so  it’s nice to see such a positive story finally come out! Matter works with the Cape Ann Chamber and local businesses to put the good word out about what a great place Gloucester is to live, work and visit.
Readers can see the Coastal Living story here: http://capeannchamber.com/Tourism/Coastal%20Living.pdf
Congrats, Gloucester!

John McElhenny From Matter Communications Alerts Us To Coastal Living Island Related Photo Request

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joey,

We all know Cape Ann has some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere. The great images in GoodMorningGloucester everyday are proof!

National magazine Coastal Living is asking people to send in their best island-related photos for an upcoming issue about islands. Think Ten Pound Island. Salt Island. Thacher Island. Straitsmouth Island.

Photos should be sent as attachments to coastallivingmag@gmail.com , with the name of the sender, phone number and description of the photo (including where and when it was taken) in the body of the email. The image should be in .tif or .eps format and at least 300 dpi. One photo entry per reader.

More than 625,000 people read Coastal Living every month, so we would be showcasing Cape Ann’s beauty to a large, national audience.

Thanks,

John McElhenny
