Congratulations to Powers Family Dental: 2024 expansion, a new location, and on being 4th-gen local legacy business right here in #GloucesterMA!

Posted on by Catherine

What an impressive family affair! Congratulations Dr. Powers and Dr. Powers 🙂 !

Powers Family Dental has moved from 26 Dale Avenue to 18 Dale Avenue. Dr. Conor Powers, Dr. Michael Power’s eldest child, has joined the practice and is as congenial, warm and fastidious as his father. What hasn’t changed? The wonderful staff and dental hygienists! Michael’s sister Gina Muniz and niece Candace Balboa also work at the office. The expanded practice features six gleaming exam rooms outfitted in comfort and style with the latest and innovative equipment, efficient dental chair tech, custom sound system, and imaging–the x-ray being the sole carry over from the prior digs.

The new headquarters is closer to Central Grammar, directly across from the post office, with plenty of windows and views. Parking is available on Dale Avenue plus there are a few spaces on the building lot. From Dale Avenue, the accessibility entrance integrates a classic New England architectural detail into its design: a sweet and safe bridge crossing walkway to the front door. More Power To You 🙂

Portraits: Drs. Powers providing dental care since…1926!

“Walter Powers Sr. started the business in 1926 on Middle St. In 1957 Walter Powers Jr. joined and they moved to 26 Dale Ave. In 1999, Michael Powers joined at 26 Dale Avenue. On September 16, 2024 Conor Powers joined and the practice moved to 18 Dale Avenue.” – Candace Balbo

Michael Powers maternal grandfather, Reginald Courant, was also a dentist- on Middle Street!

Patches of paradise: tiny gardens are big in Gloucester

Posted on by Catherine

The little summer gardens of Gloucester grow and grow. Gardener poets show us not only “who loves the flowers, but whom the flowers love,” an axiom my grandmother was fond of.

In praise of deft spade and artful tending, virtual blue ribbons for making a garden of their world and a crowd of joyous color all around us. [Centennial, Prospect, Tolman, Hovey, Rocky Neck, Bass Ave and Rockport Rd.] photos: C. Ryan August 2021

Motif Monday: Gloucester Oxbow

Posted on by Catherine

Happily resigning myself in each season as it passes to the beauty and nature of Gloucester. At low tide, this vista has me at Oxbow.
