Here is a wonderful, extensive, beautifully written blog all about Gloucester and Cape Ann. Please check it out. Written by Robin Catalano for the Greylock Glass, it was published just last month. Robin definitely spent some time here and spoke to natives who really...

We are so lucky to have wonderful views of Good Harbor and to be only a short walk away. We used to send walkers to the foot bridge to access the beach, a short 12-minute walk. However, last fall the city built a new sidewalk that keeps pedestrians safe with a sturdy...
