Maritime Gloucester Pier To Be Named For Harriet Webster
Maritime Gloucester recently began the final stage of the restoration of the main pier. This project represents the culmination of a decade-long effort to upgrade our public waterfront access to Gloucester Harbor. We could not have accomplished this extraordinary task if not for the tireless efforts of our longtime executive director, Harriet Webster.
The pier will be named for Harriet in recognition of her many contributions to Maritime Gloucester. Maritime Gloucester will host a ceremony dedicating the pier to Harriet and recognizing her public service to Gloucester on May 20, 2012 at 2:00 in the afternoon. We hope that you will be able to join us.
Sincerely,
The board and staff of Maritime Gloucester and Harriet’s Family

Remarks:
Above the clouds this spectacular condo is just steps to Boulevard. Panoramic waterviews from Cupola in this gorgeous 2 bed/2 bath residence offering a unique floor plan with ample room & all amenities. Terrific architectural details throughout. Residence was completely renovated & refurbished. Offers kitchen w/granite and stainless, custom cabinets & multiple built-ins. Outstanding value!

Haddock? Yeah The Testaverde’s Midnight Sun’s Got That!
Sunset From The Dock 2/17/12
After reporting to duty down here since I was 9 years old and after school and summers in High School and every day since graduating from Bentley I sometimes take the view for granted. But then every once in a while when it’s slow I stop for a second and get bowled over by how lucky I am to have this view from our dock.
Shhhhhhhh…. be very, very, quiet

Ann Kennedy Finds A Bit Of Gloucester MA In MO
Ann writes-
Hi Joey. Yesterday I was wandering through a local (Liberty, MO) flea market and from across the room a dusty old postcard caught my eye. I could hardly believe it when I picked it up and read the caption, "Surf at Eastern Point, Gloucester, Mass."! I especially love the sentiment written on the back: "The ocean is wonderful. I never tire of looking at it." I couldn’t agree more.
Happy New Year to you and all GMGers! I look forward to more great coverage of all things Gloucester in 2012!

Fort Square Café Features Holiday Gifts In Addition To Fantastic Food and Sparkling Conversation!
As I’ve stated ad nauseum there is no where I’ve ever been that has as many incredible breakfast joints as we have here. So to be in business in Gloucester serving breakfast you have to be special.
…and the Fort square Café is just that- very special. With Rusty making EVERYONE feel welcome the way only he can work a room to Heidi’s incredibly creative menu (yesterday she was making peppermint cheesecake) the food is always outstanding.
If you want to get a real feel for the people of this town just belly on up to the breakfast counter and let the master of ceremonies Rusty entertain you while Heidi works her magic at the helm of the kitchen.
Soooo good!
