Back on October 3 Marty luster came to Gloucester with his son Brian, a Brooklynite who runs the fantastic water blog A Movable Bridge
Brian came to Gloucester with his dad Marty and attended the International Dory seaon wrap up party and dory raffle determined to win the dory.
Marty fell so in love with Gloucester after just one visit he determined he had to move here.
He landed the day before yesterday and I’m sure he is deep into unpacking boxes and all that goes with a big move. But i wanted to welcome him.
welcome welcome welcome!
Here’s some video from the night marty arrived in Gloucester which he probably didn’t know at the time but ended up being a huge crossroad in his life.
You can go to Glazed where 200 tiles have been pre-purchased and you can design your own tile for free which will be installed on the walls of Toodeloos Toy Store at 137 Main Street once it opens Memorial Day Weekend!
A great free activity for you and your kids to make something that will be permanently installed downtown for years to come. Imagine year after year being able to pop into the store and see your child’s tile on the wall as they get older!
Here is Susan Parent and Don Boyle’s Toodeloos Toy Store Under Construction. Video Coming at 8PM
Notice how just about every square inch of wall space is covered with the types of shelving and boarding that you can hang stuff from? They plan to pack this place with toys.
