My View of Life on the Dock
Here’s another view of the photo location- off Summer St. in Manchester where those steer used to be. I thought this might be easier than it was, but only one person got it-Micah Dean! Congratulations!
Thanks,everyone, for playing. See you next week!
Micah Dean says:On 127 in Manchester, just east of the Railroad bridge?
Mike Titus says:Atlantic Street near Camp ground, pull out, looking North
This is probably too easy, but we’ll try it! Good luck and thanks for playing!
This photo was taken several years ago, but I know that someone with sharp eyes who passes by this spot each day will be able to identify this location. It’s right on a main road. Good luck and thanks for playing! —-Sharon
4 Responses to WhereZat? With a prize! Nate was the first to identify the location and Kurt and Dean got it a little later. Congratulations, Nate. You can pick up your t-shirt down at Joey’s dock.Thanks,everybody, for playing!
Nate says:Pass by there everyday and it’s just up the road from my house in Lanesville. Boat sits on the Natti’s old property just across from the farm on Washington Street. Also between Canney and Butman quarries. Used to swim and fish there when I was a kid.
Neat old boat.
Nate
Kurt Ankeny-Beauchamp says:It’s on Washington Street, after the fork with Langsford in Lanesville. Just past the Evangelical church, tucked into the trees on the right. Is that accurate enough? I run past their every other day. 
Anonymous says:The cove in Lanesville?
There are no clues for this one…If you’ve seen it, you’ll know where it is. You can see it from the road and it’s not on the water. Big help,huh?
Good luck and if you’re the first to identify the location, you git yerself one of them there GMG t-shirts! 🙂
Swimdad has identified all but one of the 12 photos in this week’s game. Can anyone help him out? Little by little he’s gotten each one, but this one’s stumping him. He’s about to give up. Thanks for your help!!!
Here are his responses-
City hall skyline, Magnolia, Little River, Annisquam Light House, Niles Beach, Magnolia Road Pic, Thai House Good Harbor Beach, Unitarian Church, Sail boat Plum Cove, Man at the Wheel Blvd., Paint Factory and Thatchers Island Twin Lights
swimdad says:City Hall Skyline, Magnolia, Little River, Annisquam Light, Niles Beach, Magnolia, Thai House Good Harbor Beach, Unitarian Church, Plum Cove, Blvd. Man at the Wheel, Paint Factory and Thatchers Island Twin Lights
Sharon says:Swindad- very close, but not quite. Keep trying!
swimdad says:Change the church to the Trinity Congregational.
Sharon says:3,5, and 6 aren’t right yet, and the first guess on the church was correct, Swimdad. Keep going!
swimdad says:The only place that #6 could be to me is Niles Pond. 3 and 5 I am totally stumped on. Not bad though for only being in Gloucester for 3 days out of the last 24 years! #5 Harbor Side of Rocky Neck by the old Rockaway Hotel and #3 no eye deer. I give up.
Sharon says:Good, you’ve gotten #5 and #6. Now a hint for #3. It’s a different view of one that you’ve already identified. You’re doin’ great!!
Today’s WhereZat? is in plain sight. But if you live over the bridge, let’s let the islanders try to get this one ;). Good luck, and thanks for playing!!
WhereZat? Well, it’s out in the open, you can see it from the street, and it’s somewhere on the island. Does that help? Good luck! And have fun!
justin demetri says: “civil war memorial in riverdale, by captain hooks” and he’s right! Swimdad did a great job of trying to figure it out, though. I wonder if Justin or anyone else has information about the symbols on the structure.
See you next Monday! Congratulations, Justin! See Joey for your t-shirt. And as always, thanks for playing!
Last week Matt Ayer was the first person to pinpoint the location as the Central Grammar Apartments The 1940 clue was the year of last graduating class from what was the old high school. (I only know because my father graduated that year.) Congratulations, Matt and all the others who got the answer! Matt, you can get your t-shirt down at Joey’s dock.
How about this snippit? Where is it? One clue- It’s totally out in the open. You don’t have to climb the City Hall steps, walk through the woods, or swim out to the island. Good luck and thanks for playing!!

Nothing like fall in New England, so here’s some colorful foliage on a building somewhere on Cape Ann. Can you figure out the location? Good luck and thanks for playing! —Sharon
Bob Ryan from Ryan and Wood has provided an XL Ryan and Wood Distillers T Shirt as a prize.
Update on Tuesday morning:
Hmmm….nobody has guessed at all yet. Ok, here are some clues-
-The date 1940 has significance as an end of sorts.
-It’s a converted building from its original use
-It’s not downtown, but close.
-It’s not a private home or office building
Here’s this week’s WhereZat? We’ll hold the answers til a little later in the day just in case someone gets it right away. Good luck and have fun!
Thanks for playing. A t-shirt for the winner!
Micah Dean identified the common thread of the photos from yesterday’s contest as scenes from along Washington St. On Sunday I took pictures starting at the corner by the Blackburn and continued to the Rockport town line. It took a few hours, and I saw more than I had ever noticed in the past. Very cool!
Spearze identified the scenes in his response: “the first..blessed mother is at my former Aunt Vinnce house on Washington st across from Blackburn…second is Sclafani bakery. next is Ed mini mart. scroo kitchen,riverdale mills, bay view cemetry, plum cove….all in washington st.” Thanks, Eric!
And Congratulations, Micah!! You can pick up your t-shirt at Joey’s.
Here’s a slideshow of all the shots from my Washington St. trek- And yes, I know- the last few photos were taken in Folly Cove!
This week’s WhereZat? is a little different. Find what these photo locations all have in common!
Good luck!! And you’ll get a your choice of a GLOSTA-phobic or a GMG t-shirt if you’re the first to figure out the answer!
Vickie VanNess was the first person to identify this location. Congratulations, Vickie! Come down to Capt. Joe’s to claim your prize!! Here are the responses to this week’s contest. Thanks for playing and we’ll see you next week!

It is the wall to that house on Western Ave that you can see when you are at Cresseys’ Beach at Stage Fort Park.

It is a close up of the wall of the house, when you stand at Cressey’s Beach and look to your right. John thought the wall was a dam. It is the first house on Western Avenue on the water side. Does that help!
