Packed House For GGAP II

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

We had a lot of fun and raised money for a great cause.   People turned out and I’m proud to say that GGAP II was the first sell-out at Cape Ann Community Cinema.  We raised $2217. which will be deposited by the end of the week to The MR Children fund.  There are still 12 t shirts left which can be purchased at The Dress Code downtown and 100% of that money will be added into the total when they are sold.  Also Rob Newton will be donating a portion of the proceeds from a show this week (details to follow) into the pot.

Thanks to Sharon for taking the pictures at the show as I was too busy to be able to get any footage.

Bob’s probably going to kill me for posting this picture, but he always poses when he sees my camera, so…..here he is!

Janet and Star Squiggle guessed correctly. Congrats!

For those who don’t know Bob, he’s Gloucester’s City Clerk and all around good guy!

I love this little guy! You have to be walking to see it. Look over the railing just before the Beacon Marine building. And there it is. Of course when the tide’s in, it’s underwater. Does anyone know where it came from?  —Sharon

Union Congregational Church

Posted on by Sharon

This week’s Where’s Zat? photo was identified by Janet Dunsky, who lives in Magnolia and attended this church for years. The sign says “Established 1887”.

I found this old photo on the Internet, dated 1920’s or 1930’s.

Jan wins a $20 gift certificate from Gloucester Music. Congratulations! And thanks to Susan Emerson for the prize donation.

Where Zat?

Last week’s winner Adam won a $20 gift certificate from Audrey’s Flower Shop when he identified the location as Walker Creek in West Gloucester. Nice job, Adam!

The prize this week is a $20 gift certificate from Susan Emerson at Gloucester Music on Main St. Great place to find just what you need in music. Many instruments, too! Thanks, Susan!

Hope this one’s tough enough, Joey!                      —–Sharon

Fish Pier Rumble

Posted on by Sharon

If your squeamish about blood, guts, and warfare, don’t venture down to the State Fish Pier when the guys are mending their nets.  I witnessed head-butts, slaps, screaming. Two were dead. Eyeballs poked out. The cannibals devoured the innards. And not a cop in sight! Couldn’t show the victims – too gruesome  The perpetrators in action….
