You Can’t Fake The Funk- Imagine Studio

watermarked with picmarkr.com

I’m pretty sure that Brenda Malloy, the owner of Imagine on Rocky Neck spoke at the Mayor’s Harbor Listening Post meeting in East Gloucester.

She spoke about how she loves that Gloucester is not like every other seaside community and that she likes Gloucester’s ‘Funkiness”

Well Brenda inspired me to start a series entitled “You Can’t Fake The Funk” and her joint will be the first place featured in the series.

Brenda’s sells handmade Greeting Cards, Jewelry, Art, Nautical and Decorative Items at her funky one of a kind shop on Rocky Neck on the opposite corner from where Bertha’s penny candy store used to be.

Locals Tip – Rocky Neck Secluded Beach Video

Play the video to see just how close this secluded beach is to parking that doesnt require a beach sticker.

Rocky Neck Landing No Beach Sticker Required

A hop, skip, and a jump down this little pathway to a beautiful secluded beach.

Plenty of street parking early in the morning makes this a great spot for folks that don’t have their beach sticker yet.

I’m not sure who is responsible for planting the flowers in the flower boxes on Rocky Neck, but if anyone knows, please inform me so I can do a little story of appreciation for them.
