Spring walk downtown Gloucester

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Wednesday Rick and I went to the Beauport Hotel for a delicious lunch.  After lunch had to go do some errands and since it was not raining, we walked.  The flowers from Generous Gardeners at the police station are looking pretty.  Generous Gardeners does such a great job, and we thank them.   Walking around St. Peter’s Square with the boats and lobster traps were getting ready for the summer.

Note the architectural details developing like the decorative pattern emphasized by quoins (pronounced “coins”) toothed (staggered), lighter in color, and running 2/3 the full height (at this point) where the building edges meet.

Beautiful how one can see City hall from St. Peter’s sq.

Stay tuned for the After photos.

From St. Peters Square

On Saturday it was 42 degrees and the sun  was out and felt like a spring day.  The ocean and sky were very blue with the snow on the houses over at Rocky Neck.  It reminded me of our New England interesting weather.

Where is the Fiesta Ferris Wheel?

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Last year I overcame my Fear-of-Carnival-Equipment and took my first ride ever on the Fiesta ferris wheel. When I was a child I loved amusement parks. Fear-of-Carnival- Equipment is an affliction that strikes one upon becoming a mother. Nevertheless, at this time last year my camera was brand new and I was determined to take photos from the ferris wheel vantage point (and both kids had left for college and grad school).

I was disappointed to see that this year the ferris wheel was not set up along Pavilion Beach. According to carnival employee Bones, the ferris wheel was recently sold to a permanent park in Mexico because it was becoming too old for the frequent moves demanded of it from a traveling company. Although I will miss the gorgeous view of Gloucester from atop the ferris wheel I am glad they made this safety call. The good news is that the company is planning to purchase a new ferris wheel and hopefully it will be here next year!
