Supreme Roast Beef Dinner

Supreme Roast Beef Dinner, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

Back in High School we would go to this joint in Danvers Square called Supreme Roast Beef. The owner George was always tolerant of our young juvenile behavior. The man must have the patience of a saint.

In February of last year he opened up the second Supreme Roast Beef location in the site of the former Chic’s Roast Beef. George, his son Tony and daughter Irene have spruced up the place and are always very pleasant. It’s been a nice upgrade.

Here is a picture of my Roast Beef Plate. Three way(sauce, cheese, mayo). It cost $7.65
Fantastic.

Fishermen’s Wharf, Latitude 43, City Hall

You can see to the left in this picture how large Latitude 43’s deck is. Looks like it’s gonna be a hotspot this summer.

A cold and gray day. Hopefully cold enough to break down the San Diego Chargers who will be playing our beloved Patriots this afternoon.

St Peter’s Dock Looking to Latitude 43

This is the view from St Peter’s Park loking to Latitude 43. The deck loos to be good sized. Should be a great spot this summer.

Beautiful room. Warm, inviting.

A huge thank you should go out to folks that have the confidence and willingness to investthis kind of dough in Gloucester.

This place is yet another reason Gloucester has it all over the muckey muck towns a little further up the line that pretend to be great but have no soul.

Winter Down The Dock

Lobsters slow down, boats sit idle.

This is one of my favorite pics ever!

Is it wrong that I actually would like to frame a copy and hang it up somewhere?
