My View of Life on the Dock
Hi Joey,
I just posted a short video of Marvin Tighe (Rocky Neck) striper fishing off Flat Rocks at Rockport.
He lands a schoolie and gives some commentary on bait.
Blaze our 10 year old jack russell loves to watch the gulls go crazy at the State Fish Pier in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Filmed last year.
Huge thank you to CWO2 Luis Munoz for his warm hospitality from him and his crew.
They are incredibly professional and courteous and we had a fantastic time.

This Video is from last years Horribles Parade. The GMG Group held out well, right to the end.

Meet Will Toppan, The Owner of the last “Art, Rock’s!” Rock.
Will and his Dad found that Rock in record time. I received an email within an hour after it was posted on GMG.
Here’s the email I received from Will and bill;
Mr. Frontiero,
thank you, my son has been on a mission to find one. You have made his day. Words can’t describe his expression upon finding it. You have a special following, please continue, I’m sure more smiles will follow.
Bill and Will Toppan
Will Toppan’s “Mission Accomplished!”
Thanks to my Son Chris for dropping off the “Art, Rock” this morning. At this moment he’s watching the time on His Ipod. At exactly 10am He will release the Rock where he was instructed to do so. Here are a few Photos. Sorry about the out of focus Rock photo. It’s hard doing things with only your left hand when your right handed.

I have some time on my Hands or should I say hand? At the moment and I’ve been checking out twitter lately and I’ve changed my mind on it.
I didn’t like it at first. Couldn’t figure out what the big deal was about. But, it gets addictive. It gives you up to date info on what’s happening on what your interested in.
I follow “TWITS” on Cape Ann, Artists and News.
Here’s a list I found on Artists and photographers. Cape Ann Arts Map is listed here among thousands of others from around the World.

Follow me and maybe you’ll find an Art Rock this weekend.

I wanted to see if using Twitter for This “Art, Rocks!” thing would work. It did. Here’s the email I received;
I found the “Art, Rocks” at Good Harbor Beach. Nice sketch. I have to admit that I must have walked by it 2 or 3 times (I went across the street to look right after your tweet that you left one). The photo clue was what did it…I have been back and forth enough times on my first venture to have pretty much memorized the rocks along the sidewalk :-))).
HarborWalk – Under Design
Community Meeting of March 1, 2011
Cambridge Seven Associates (C7A) presented an emerging design developed from the initial community workshops and their evaluation of the existing conditions along the walk. Followup to meeting.
Got a Moment?
Along the new harborwalk, granite posts will have simple etched glass or pressed metal markers that tell a story of Gloucester. If you know a story – a special piece of life in Gloucester – share that for the harborwalk! Contributions will be accepted until April 15th.
Cultural Art Installations
When the design is further along and possibly under construction, we will be seeking eight cultural art installations. We will rely on the arts community to coordinate this effort. Look for details coming soon!
Gloucester awarded $500,000 State Grant
The City received a $500,000 grant from the Massachusetts Seaport Advisory Council to fund creation of a pedestrian pathway, that will extend public access through the heart of the working harbor to the historic and cultural sites along Harbor Loop.
The HarborWalk
The HarborWalk will provide improved access to recreational and cultural opportunities such as the Fitz Henry Lane House, Maritime Heritage Center, harbor businesses and restaurants, and provide greater public access to the water’s edge. The HarborWalk will provide educational opportunities for residents and visitors to learn about the harbor’s history and Gloucester’s unique maritime heritage as well as to see and understand contemporary maritime activities. The HarborWalk will be designed to stregthen connections among the working harbor, downtown attractions and Main Street businesses. Strong design, consistent use of materials, interpretive features and public art will help create a distinctive urban landmark for the city and provide an inviting experience for visitors, residents and employees of surrounding businesses.

There was Shooting going on at the Beach!
And this is what they shot.
Funny that we had the post from Bill O’Connor about ID’ing the harbor porpoise and what do you know he surfaces up in front of our dock the at about the same time Bill’s post went live.
Good Morning Gloucester
