2011 Earth Day Trash Clean Up and Concert!

Your Questions Answered!

The Clean Up?
Saturday, April 23rd:  Participants are asked to come to the Stage Fort Park Visitor’s Center between 9 and 12 to pick up gloves and empty trash and recycling bags for their clean up.  Friday delivery of bags can be arranged by contacting Sharon.  See contact info below.

Collected Trash and Recycling?

Participants will be given yellow bags to put collected trash into and clear bags for recyclables.  We are asking participants to bring their collected trash and recycling back to Stage Fort Park.  The City of Gloucester, who is providing the trash bags, will also be picking up collected trash and recyclables.  

Where is the Clean Up?

The clean up is citywide and participants are encouraged to clean up a public area in Gloucester of their choosing – it could be their school grounds, favorite playing field, park or beach.  (We will also have a list of suggested sites on hand, if folks need ideas).  
What if we have a lot of trash or find a very heavy / cumbersome item (e.g. appliance)?
We do not expect you to transport really heavy / cumbersome items. If possible, it is requested that it be left in a location that can be easily accessed by a City truck or left where found if too heavy to move.  . In either case, it will be important to let us know the location so we can let the Department of Public Works know.
What should I wear?
Participant are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather and for the activity (picking up trash!)
My child would like to participate but I can’t make it?
Any young children unaccompanied by a guardian will work with Clean City Initiative and pick up trash at Stage Fort Park from 9 to noon.
Do we need to pick up trash from 9 to noon? 
We are asking participants to do what they can on that day.  There is no obligation to work the full 3 hours or those 3 hours.
The Concert?
The concert will take place at Cape Ann Brewery (11 Rogers Street) starting at 6 pm.

I know I’m right on this one.

I screwed up on yesterdays post: https://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/sheedys-beach-rocky-neck/

Plenty of people let me know. But I do appreciate it.

I have to make sure I do my research if I post any more Rocky Neck Photos. Especially if some of us GMG Authors become Neighbors with the Hard Partying Rocky Neckers. More on that later!

Granite Schooner, Lanes Cove

The three masted schooner Flora Condon loading Cape Ann granite in Lanes Cove. Granite blocks were wheeled on a gallymander along a ramp and then lowered with block and tackle into the ship’s hold. The schooner was 123 feet long, and was built in 1872 in Belfast, Maine.  She was lost off Cape Cod in December of 1911. John Ingersoll Coggeshall  (1856 – 1927) was an accomplished sea-landscape painter and photographer, for whom Coggeshall Road in Lanesville is named.

Gene Ehlert Asks About Old Bayview Postcard

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi, Joey,

Reading your terrific website from Lancaster, NH, way up near Canada. Have recently bought a small house in Bay View; have to rent it out for now until we can afford to move down. Soon we hope.

Bought an old postcard on ebay with a picture of Albion’s of Gloucester, located on Rte 127 in Bay View. Specialized in fried clams it says, and accommodated 150 guests.Our house is on Albion Court, a small dead-end road right next to the Brotherhood. Probably not a coincidence. No sign of the eatery these days, but was wondering if you or someone could remember where it was located. Perhaps where the fire station is today?

Thanks and best regards, Gene Ehlert
