“Welcome Home”

Posted on by Nichole S.

I think there should be a children’s movie (maybe there is?) like Cars, but about boats. I was sitting at the Blue Collar the other day and totally envisioned the boats in their slips cheering the Seaweed on as it returned home. Personification. Each time I look at this photo, I hear the boats talking. Maybe I’m just tired.

The James in Essex Has Opened

Posted on by Pat D

The James Pub recently opened in the former location of the Village restaurant in Essex. We stopped by to have dinner and check things out and were very happy we did. First, if you are expecting to go in and be reminded of the former restaurant, you’ll be disappointed. The inside has been remodeled and looks great. Even the entry door has changed location (we saw many people approaching the old entryway) but the flow works nicely.

We were seated in a front room and Donna was our attentive server. It was pretty busy for a weekday evening, though, as usual, we were there on the early side for dinner. There a very nice bar area we look forward to checking out when we return. We easily found menu items of interest: Irish Nachos, fish sandwich, steak frites (done to perfection), and strawberry pavlova for dessert. Naturally I also tried the Irish Coffee. *I recommend the sangria* Things seemed to be running very smoothly for a newly opened restaurant. There’s another location in Needham as well, so make sure you are checking the right location for hours and such.

One of the owners came over to say hello and informed us they will be expanding their hours eventually to include Mondays and lunch hours. It was a very enjoyable atmosphere and dining experience. The pricing is on par with most area restaurants and we look forward to returning.

Reservations are required for non-residents at Good Harbor Beach, Wingaersheek Beach, and Stage Fort Park starting Saturday, May 25th! You can reserve parking UP TO 10 days in advance on the Blinkay website or mobile app.

Gloucester Speaks

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

The first Gloucester screening of Shep Abbott’s film, ‘GLOUCESTER SPEAKS’

On Friday, May 17th at 7:00pm the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church and the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation proudly host Shep Abbott’s film ‘Gloucester Speaks,’ in collaboration with the Cape Ann Community Cinema, in the Church sanctuary.  This will be the premiere screening of the epic documentary film in Gloucester.

Fishermen, Scientists, Public Officials, Scholars, Authors, Artists, Merchants, Local Citizens: in Gloucester documentarian Shep Abbott’s new film ‘Gloucester Speaks’ – nearly a decade in the making – all of these people convey their deeply-held thoughts and feelings about their storied City’s illustrious past, present, and projected future.

Beginning in 1606 with explorer Samuel de Champlain’s naming and mapping of what was to become America’s first commercial fishing port – “Le Beauport” (The Beautiful Harbor) – the film is narrated by Gloucester residents.  Their historic port experienced many blessings over the ensuing 400 years, such as the establishment of the greatest cod fishery in the world.  It would also endure profound sorrows, including the disappearance of the indigenous Pawtucket People and the eventual loss of 10,000+ fishermen to the sea.

These hardy New England residents share their concerns about the present day, exploring today’s crises of the loss of that great fishery, floods brought by advancing, warming oceans, 100-year storms, and the continuing loss of remaining fish populations heading north to find colder waters.  Their stories, hopes and dreams are told with warmth, dignity, and humor, manifesting a deep love and concern for this historic and beautiful fishing port.

Shep Abbott is a veteran, award-winning documentary film-maker, artist, photographer and longtime member of the Unitarian Universalist Church whose hometown is Gloucester, Massachusetts.  The screening of his monumental film is a not-to-be missed event!

Tickets ($13.50 General, under 12 free) are available at the door and in advance online at the Cape Ann Community Cinema website: www.capeanncinema.com

The Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church is located on the green at 50 Middle Street, at the corner with Church Street.  Note: the green is closed for renovation but the main entrance is open. Please seek parking on the street and in lots nearby. A side entrance with an elevator is located at 10 Church Street.

Update On Annie and Squam Nest

Posted on by Pat D

I am pretty well addicted to the Essex Greenbelt Osprey Cam to follow the development of the nest for the osprey nicknamed Annie and Squam. They return to the LobstaLand nest each year and provide insight to bird life through the web cam provided. David Rimmer provides occasional updates on their progress. This year it appears there are two eggs and we might expect to see the hatchlings in early June (if my math is correct). In the meantime, I watch the osprey cam. This time I got to observe a “changing of the guard”. If you look very carefully inside the nest, you can see one of the eggs. Thank you David, Essex Greenbelt and the army of volunteers!
