Good Morning Gloucester in Wikipedia!

image

After GMG got a Facebook page I thought there was something missing. Good Morning Gloucester started as a way for Joey to post photos of his favorite fishing city at dawn but it’s become much more than that. A resource to the community and really the place to go if you want up-to-date information on a wide spectrum of current information about Cape Ann. It’s been written up in area newspapers and magazines, won awards, and broken exclusive stories.

All of those things add up to a place that passes the Wikipedia notability requirement. So yesterday I thought I would take an hour and write a wiki page for GMG. Once I started I quickly realized how much GMG has done in the few short years existence and getting a rough draft took more than that hour. But as a first shot I think I got the highlights of the GMG story. Wikipedia wants "encyclopedic, only information that can be confirmed and referenced, no frivolity allowed". That was difficult trying to get the essence of GMG in dry terse format. Here is my first try. As I go down the list of repeating themes I realize all the stuff I forgot. "Cape Ann Sports Coverage", "Rosa Rugosa!", "WhaZat?". Luckily Wiki is a completely malleable device that can be added to at any time. While I am adding those if you think of something I missed just send me an email or add it yourself.

So what am I talking about? Go to Wikipedia and search on "Good Morning Gloucester" or to get there faster just google "wiki gmg" then select Good Morning Gloucester from the list. Or click here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Morning_Gloucester

You might find it a handy place to visit if you need a quick link to the Block Party dates, or Fiesta, or to local town official web sites.

Felicia from Spain on the Stanley Thomas

While taking photos off of St Peter’s Plaza, I ran into Felicia, she was posing with her friend on some of the boats tied up.  I asked permission to also take photos and here are the results.  I asked her to pose on the Stanley Thomas, for the color contrast.

The only information I got was that she was “Felicia”: from Spain, that was good enough for me.  I hope they are enjoying themselves in Gloucester.

Market Restaurant At Lobster Cove- The GMG Interview

Never have I seen such an excitement among online foodies as the one created over the past month for the newly opened Market Restaurant At Lobster Cove. Check the video for the inside skinny and the slide show at the end of the video

My breakfast sandwich was fantastic and it looks like The Mrs will be doing a recon mission for dinner with her girlfriends next week. I’d say that she would get you some great photos from that dinner but I think we all know that when the Mrs gets together with her merry band of alcoholics friends it will be more about the wine than the picture taking. 🙂

You Asked We Delivered (Well Beth Swan Delivered)-GMG Facebook Fan Page

Continuing my Facebook Hold-Out people had been asking us to put our updates in a GMG Facebook Fan Page so that they could get their GMG updates through FB.  There was no way for me to start a GMG Facebook Fan page without signing up for a Facebook account so new contributor (more about this soon) Beth Swan put one up for us.  I guess you need to have 25 or more people who “like” you before they will give you the shortened http://www.facebook.com/GoodMorningGloucester URL without a whole slew of numbers and letters after it.  Within a day the page had the required number for us to have the URL.  So if you are a Facebooker, you can go to the URL and do whatever it is you do to get the updates to show up on your wall.

I think that’s what it’s called-a wall.  I’m pretty much clueless as to the ins and outs of FB.  But if it were Twitter it would be your timeline. Sample below-

In addition to Beth Swan I should also thank Jill and Kristen from North Shore Dish for the inspiration and how-to.

Signs at Good Harbor Beach

 Friday June 4 was a beach day for some.  It was a beautiful day but only a few enjoyed it.

As I entered the parking lot, and was greeted by Mark Haverland, I noticed how many signs were posted, around that little booth.

The beach was not crowded, but the life guard was watching every person who ventured towards the water.

I also met a family from Concord, with their college aged daughters, I think the father was taking a break from tuition, and two women from Canada, Petra, and Ruth.  It is always interesting to talk to people and why they come to Gloucester, the response is always because they LOVE IT.  We are lucky!

Smooth Ride on Gloucester’s Backshore

Men at Work.

The ride along the back-shore  is smoother, because of the hard work, on a foggy, and a Canadian smoke-filled day.
