My View of Life on the Dock
Friendly octopus garden? Kraken Billy goats gruff? The tentacled creature crawling under the sea, amid the rosa rugosa seaweed coral, is sure to engender imaginative story walks on the Long Beach seawall. And this metal art is a playful calling card.

Food for Thought Heather Atwood
No one can deny how fast the world has changed in this century, or the velocity with which we’ve discarded cultural traditions. Many ethnic foods are seen in the rear-view mirror as the bus pulls out of town, leaving behind raw sea urchins eaten at a picnic table, scooped with a hunk of crusty Italian bread, and speeds toward a horizon at which everyone eats basically the same 12 dishes.
Communities forever defined themselves by the foods they made, but now most children in this country choose macaroni and cheese over just about anything. Women choose Caesar salads, and men Buffalo wings. This is not about “local” or “sustainable” foods; it’s about the fact that some dishes — recipes that absolutely described who a person was and what community they lived in — for whatever reason are not so slowly fading into the past. Fortunately, in some cases, they are simply evolving into something different.

This is a better pic of the infamous Octopus. The sushi chef told me that inside the head there will be a light fixture that is supposed to light it up. Should look pretty wild.

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.
Good Morning Gloucester
