Here is an old brochure which Mark Ring brought over from his mother’s house. There is no date on it but all the boats are powered by sail.
If you click on the picture it will bring you to a flickr page where the image is hosted. Then click the option above the picture that says “all sizes” to view it larger and more clearly.

Ned’s Desserts and Free Cheese Sample Plate
Ned’s Deserts and Free Cheese Sample Plate, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
This is the cheese that the cheese swiper was clipping when the owners weren’t looking.
I say if someone puts out cheese samples you should take one and if you really wanted another one you should politely ask.
The cheese swiper was scarfing em down every time they turned their backs.
What a rat.

Pamela and Patricia’s Funky Purple Traps

Shawn Cromwell, skipper of the Pamela and Patricia heads out to set his funky new purple traps.
It’s a first for me (I’ve never seen purple traps)
He ought to put little disco balls inside so the lobsters can have an eighties party once they trap up.

Geno’s Dory Shop at the GMHC
Geno’s Dory Shop, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
From now on I’m calling the Maritime Heritage Center the GMHC.
Anyway I have a series of photos I took from Geno’s Dory Shop over at GMHC that I’ll be posting throughout the day.
I’ve seen a ton of old photographs of the flakeyards in Gloucester but could never distinguish one from our dock in East Gloucester until I stopped by and saw Geno. He happened to have one among the sawdust and I was blown away at the size and scope of the buildings that once sat on our property. The buildings were 3 stories high and lined East Main Street and went out over the water. My father often tells me stories about when my grandfather bought the place from Gortons and they handed him a huge round key chain with a ridiculous number of keys that lined up side by side touching each other all the way around this key ring like spokes on a bike only like it was about 200 keys for all the different rooms with locks.
Geno is going to make me a copy of the picture. Thanks Geno.

Something very cool about Ned’s-
They had samples of different cheese in a couple different locations of the store.
Something not so cool about Ned’s-
There was a woman (not the one in this picture) that I saw gobbling down this cheese every time the owner and guy behind the deli counter turned his back. It was pretty scummy. I think she thought that no one noticed. I did.

This poor fella has seen better days.
Anyone else remember back about 20 years when you couldn’t drive down Rogers Street without seeing a run over seagull?
Those were the days.

Ned’s Groceria, Washington St
Ned’s Groceria, Washington St, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
For some reason I thought the name was Ned’s Groceteria and had named all my picture files and flickr titles as such. Upon further review of this picture it is Ned’s Groceria. I wonder if selling stuff out of a van makes you a Groceteria and selling out of a storefront makes you a Groceria. Any of you Ned’s regulars want to stop by there and find out for me?
I got a Cuban panini that was very tasty. It was pressed through and the center ingredients were warm (a pet peeve of Mark Ring is a cold centered panini). I’m happy to report Mark that the panini was properly prepared.
As is the case with any of the pictures posted on the blog if you click on the picture it will bring you to the flickr page where it resides. Along the top border of the picture there is an option for “all sizes” when selected gives you a nice full sized version of any of the pictures posted here with much greater detail. I prefer if you like a pic to check them out on the flickr page using the all sizes feature. Viewing them on this page you are reading does many of the photo’s disservice.
Here is a link to my Ned’s Groceria slideshow including other Ned’s pics in larger format.

Leo D Allen recently changed the pieces he had at Passports. I dropped by to pick up my lunch today and took a couple pics.
