Then and Now – Good Harbor Beach Area (1889–1900)
The first photo is around the 1900’s, the second old photo is from 1889. The photos appear to have been taken from what is now Bass Rock Golf Course.
Note that at that time there was two bridges crossing the creek, only one is visible in each photograph. The Sherman Cottage had open decks all around.

New gem from the heart of Gloucester’s most prolific songwriter says it all
Check out this video of Allen Estes’ new song, “We All Fall Down”, which premieres on his show Local Music Seen with Allen Estes tomorrow (WED) at 6:30pm on Cape Ann TV Channel 12. Allen had been working on this song before the marathon bombing, which gave the song a more profound meaning closer to what we’re all feeling right now. If this song doesn’t move you, nothing will.
In this special show, Allen is his own guest and sings four new songs and one older one from his Nashville writing days. He ends with one of my new favorites, “Swimming” or “The Good Harbor Beach Song” — a perfect way to get into the Cape Ann Summer spirit!
More Allen Estes videos here (including Swimming)

On March 30th I pegged the over under in the podcast we taped that day with Paul Morrison and Paulie Walnuts as the Third Saturday In May and I took the under based on the City wanting to have it open in time for Memorial Day Weekend-

Foot Bridge Repair – Day Five
Amazing how much was accomplished in just Five days. There is still more work to be done, such as replace the iron railings in the center structure, and secure some more of the under carriage.
My thanks to the DPW work crew that put up with me for the past week, taking photos and just getting in their way.

Good Harbor Beach Footbridge Almost Ready for Fun!
Not yet fully functional with still a few wobbly, rotted, and missing boards, but any day now the footbridge will be ready for summer fun. I walked along the marsh edge early this morning and saw a single Great Egret, cormorants, gulls, geese, ducks, robins, and a Mourning Dove. I put my feet in the water and it was numbingly cold, but that didn’t prevent a half dozen paddle boarders from enjoying the foggy frigid surf.
