More on The Massachusetts Quarter Travesty
I guarantee if you took an unbiased poll of people around the country, the recognition and association of The Man At The Wheel would be overwhelming in relation to some nondescript building in Lowell.
But what really gets me is the utter disregard for Gloucester in all things political.
The South Shore gets ridiculous amounts of money to fund projects at Woods Hole. Some park that hardly anyone has ever heard of gets to bump off Gloucester on the Massachusetts quarter. Our fishing industry gets reduced to a fraction of it’s former self.
All these other places get funding and recognition.
We should just line up all our citizens and let them kick us in the balls and get it over with. It would be more painful at first but maybe we could get past it.
Where is our representation???
I hope to christ that they are on the phone screaming and taking someone’s head off. Enough is enough.
If you are as disgusted as I am won’t you join me in writing the US Mint?

The Man At The Wheel Gets Bumped For Some Park In Lowell?
This morning’s Gloucester Daily Times brought news that the state’s quarter will not be sporting The Man at The Wheel Icon even though it won in a landslide of votes, and is being bumped for some park that no one outside of Lowell has ever heard of.
You have got to be fucking kidding me!
Who the hell has ever heard of the Lowell National Park and does anyone really think that our State in any way should be associated with a park in Lowell rather than The Proud Man At The Wheel. This state was founded on Codfish you fucking idiots! What a laughing stock the state of Massachusetts will become if this travesty is allowed to happen.
They put it out to vote- The Man at The Wheel Won in a landslide, and now they are pulling the rug out from under us for a park in Lowell????
Lowell…………….. seriously??????????

Does The Park In Lowell Have a Song Like This Written About It????

Gloucester Water Ban Update
Posted by: tohanley on 09/04/2009 17:57:31
Updated by: tohanley on 09/04/2009 17:57:31
Expires: 01/01/2014 00:00:00
Water Update, September 4th, 6:00 p.m.
BOIL WATER ORDER STILL IN EFFECT
OUTDOOR WATER BAN LIFTED
We have a sufficient quantity of water in Bond Hill storage and the water level is continuing to rise. People are encouraged to resume their outdoor water use as this will help draw chlorine into the water system. If at any time the situation unexpectedly changes, the outdoor water ban could be reinstated. Although we expect to stop receiving water from our neighbors, we intend to leave the temporary lines in place should we need to resume.
WATER TESTING:
We are waiting for Thursdays results. As we disconnect from receiving water from our neighbors, we may experience a slight increase in coliform hits as the water system readjusts itself.
FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING:
Fire hydrant flushing will continue tonight starting at 9:00 pm.
DEP/EPA UPDATE:
The DEP continues to report that the system is responding positively to the actions we have taken to date.
A Microbiologist from the Office of Ecosystem Protection, EPA, toured the water sites yesterday.
CHLORINE BOOSTER PUMP STATIONS:
We currently have 7 Chlorine Booster Pump Station in operation throughout the city. Some of theses sites will change to boost areas that have low chlorine residuals.
Please note that you may have increased chlorine smell from the water in some areas of the city.
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS AND AFTER ACTION REPORT:
Once the situation has stabilized, independent experts from outside the city with the full input and cooperation of the DEP, will gather the information and attempt to ascertain the root cause of the increased coliform in the water system.
We will also have an independent contractor, again from outside the city, perform an after action report to evaluate the response of the city as well as the independent contractors.
PUBLIC INFORMATION:
Please note, updates for this weekend will be published once a day in the early evening.
The Mayor will be holding an information meeting regarding the water situation on Tuesday, September 8th at 5:00 pm at the Rose Baker Senior Center. All are invited to attend.
Mayor Kirk’s latest interview with Rick Moore is available at http://www.moorestuffonline.com.. The interview taped September 2nd with Cape Ann T.V. is now available on the city web site, and on Ch. 67 at 6:00, 10:00 and 2:00 am & pm.
The CODE RED system is being updated. If you know of any friends and neighbors who do not have access to the internet, please help them out and register them at the City of Gloucester web site, http://www.ci.gloucester.ma.us. (Click on CODE RED )
LOCAL BUSINESS:
All of this weekend’s events are proceeding as planned.
In recognition of the efforts of our local merchants to remain open during this difficult event, please continue to support local businesses. All restaurants and coffee shops are open. Cape Pond Ice is producing ice in their off site facility and distributing it to local customers. Again, please support your local businesses.
The boil water order is still in effect while we attempt to resolve this matter.

As you climb up the stairs get steeper and narrower and narrower.
The pigeon crap covers everything and if you want to use the hand rails- you’re gonna be touchin’ the poop. There’s just no way around it. When I got back to the dock I scrubbed my hands for about 15 minutes with joy dishwashing soap.

Here’s Daniel Macintyre who brings an impressive culinary resume to the Culina Cafe. Play the video to hear what he has in store for the place and why Gloucester is the right place to locate his business.
