Toodeloos! and Island Art and Hobby at 142 Main Street is year round fun. They’ve consolidated two long standing creative and well curated independent local stores together into one space: both a fabulous local toy store and a professional art supply shop.
Toodeloos! is between the Birdseye and Winslow Homer HarborWalk story moment markers, and a short jaunt to the summer cinema at I4C2.


And from the HarborWalk marker at St. Peter’s park, it’s easy to check out the new murals by Danny Diamond at Cape Ann Brewery 11 Rogers Street!


The fourth year of the GMG Downtown Gloucester Holiday Gift Video Series where we walk up and down Main Street and try to capture as many retailers as we can and highlight their best gift ideas one a day every day leading up to Christmas.

This www.gloucesterwebcam.com local webcam portal project was an idea I had last year to have as many webcams streaming from local businesses or organizations as possible which highlight the incredible vistas that we as people that live and work here get to enjoy each and every day.
The idea was to have the organization install the webcam, have them embed the webcam feed on their own websites as well and have a link to each business website on the Gloucester webcam portal website to showcase their business as well.
Tim Blakeley from Gloucester Bytes provided the initial installation at ridiculously cheap cost because he believed in the project.
Our Man Tim Blakeley from www.GloucesterBytes.com has been banging out the installs today and we now have Toodeloos Toy Store added to www.gloucesterwebcam.com
Toodeloos has the view of I4C2,Gloucester Harbor and The Paint Factory.
As soon as Susan from Toodeloos embeds the Toodeloos webcam feed onto her website we will direct people that click on it on www.gloucesterwebcam.com to her webpage where she has the feed embedded.
You can go to Glazed where 200 tiles have been pre-purchased and you can design your own tile for free which will be installed on the walls of Toodeloos Toy Store at 137 Main Street once it opens Memorial Day Weekend!
A great free activity for you and your kids to make something that will be permanently installed downtown for years to come. Imagine year after year being able to pop into the store and see your child’s tile on the wall as they get older!
What a great idea.
Here’s the info for Glazed-

Notice how just about every square inch of wall space is covered with the types of shelving and boarding that you can hang stuff from? They plan to pack this place with toys.

After getting many requests from GMG folks who wanted to know what was going into the space at 137 Main Street I finally caught up with one of the owners for an interview which will be up at 8AM.
