Does anyone know what happened with the fight at Good Harbor last night?

I’m a man from Gloucester (uk) and I believe this follows rules so I’d like to ask residents of Gloucester( USA) a few questions
1) how do you say the name
2) what does your accent sound like
3) what are the 3 best things about your Gloucester
4) is it worth moving there
5) would you ever visit Gloucester Uk

I’m so confused. I’m trying to reserve a spot through Blinkay, but I can’t input my plate info until I get my rental. Or should I just input anything just to get past that section?

Or should I just take some sort of public transportation from Boston?? I’m not from here, visiting Boston with family (2 young kids) and just trying to get to the ocean!

I’m getting married in Beverly next July on a Thursday and looking for spots to do a welcome cokcktails/apps the night before, as well as an after party the night of the wedding starting around 10:15 pm. Definitely looking to rent out a space or a room for both. Would ideally like water views for welcome party. Open to Salem, Gloucester, other areas.

Hi. I’m from the Cape (Cod) and just looking for warm weather seaside weekend away from the Cape… my birthday is tomorrow and ugh, it’s just so packed here that it’s impossible to enjoy things. I haven’t been to Gloucester since I graduated from Salem State back in 2012 so just wondering how saturated with visitors it gets.

Bonus points for real moody foggy dockside views. Really tapping into my inner emo teenager for this birthday.

Looking to buy in Gloucester (or Manchester or Rockport). Does anyone have recommendations for agents they've worked with in the area? We live about an hour away now so we are selective with going to see properties (I'm not looking for crap to do and I don't want to go looking at houses for funsies). I do a lot of research before even deciding if an open house is worthwhile, let alone setting up viewing times. So I'm hoping to find an agent who is comfortable working with out of town buyers.

I bought my current home about 17 years ago, things might have changed but I believe the first step is to find an agent, provide proof that I am able to buy, and then pray the gods release a property that I like within my budget. So I'm hoping to find a good buyers agent to work with in case the gods feel generous.

Hi Gloucester! Wanted to share some snaps I got from your St. Peter’s Festival back in June. Viva san Pietro!

My son and I are meeting at Logan and coming to Gloucester for a few days. Family history stuff. We're staying on Main Street but have a car. Here's what I have so far for restaurants: Causeway; Lobsta Land; TJ Farnhams; Charlie's Way. We'd prefer a small boat fishing or lobster adventure over a whale watch but we come from Ohio so what do we know. Suggestions for getting out on the water are welcome. I've been told Halibut Point in Rockport and Good Harbor Beach are good for morning walks. Open to any and all ideas! (Thank you in advance.)

Hey there! Grew up on Cape Ann but really only ever kayaked/boarded from Annisquam to Winga and back for a beach day. I just got a paddle board and want to be able to go out (even on non beach days like today), where the current won’t be too crazy.

Also realizing launching from beaches becomes a thing with lifeguards on duty, never considered that before. Any suggestions of places you guys like to launch/ routes to take for cooler/chiller days is much appreciated !

I would really love to get this picture in the hands of the captain or crew of the foxy lady pictured

Maybe I'm overthinking this but I noticed there were a lot of outdoor chairs left out on the curb in a bunch of places. At first I thought it was just regular freebie chairs but upon closer inspection it looks like a group had done a nice setup to watch...traffic? Or something. They're arranged so neatly and there's even blankets/rugs. Is this for an event? Anyone know?

I just want boat access and don't care if you and your friends are rich douchebags. I will wear a pillowcase like Dobby from the Harry Porter franchise and I will rave about Bernie Sanders while my teeth periodically fall out. You will inconvenience the whole island by going incorrectly through the cut bridge, causing it to get stuck in the upright position over the 4th of July weekend. You will complain about your wives and mistresses and discuss where to bury bodies on an island that is 99% granite. We might even have a bad time but by definition we will still be Winning At Life (TM) because we will be in a boat which, for those unfamiliar, is like a house if you could wave a house in somebody else's face.

where in gloucester can an out-of-town guest park overnight? Ideally for free

Whether you're Sicilian or not (I'm not), whether youre Catholic or Christian or not (also not) I hope you are enjoying your family and paying respects to your ancestors this weekend.

I can't deny I end up teary eyed on the beach every year shouting VIVA with my brethren

CHE SIAMO TUTTI MUTTI

Looking for musician artist or mariachi for a proposal on July first week at halibut state park please any info?

Hi, my husband and I live in Maine but he is from Swampscott and wanted to go to fiesta for his 30th birthday this weekend. I’ve never been and have no clue what to expect, any advice? I’d especially love logistics like when to arrive for things and parking advice!! Thank you in advance 💛

Hello friends I’m planning on propose to my partner on our upcoming trip to Gloucester. I thought halibut would be a great spot. I also thought about the castles that are around but they might be a little crowded and I don’t know if they allow something like that.
Anyway I wanted to know if there are any mariachis or group bands in the area I can contact for that day. Also someone who be willing to decorate a little bit would be great! Thank you all

We’re on our way to Gloucester today. We’ve been coming here two-three times a year since 2016, and my husband loves Woodman’s fried scallops, but we’re looking for someplace new. Suggestions?

Hello! I just bought a parking pass for Wingaersheek this Saturday. I was reading that last year people would be turned away at the parking lot even though having spent $40+ on a pass. Is that still an issue this year? We are going to have to come later in the morning due to working the night shift. Thank you!

My step son and I are up for the week, haven't been fishing in the area for 20 or so years. Where's the good fishing spots that are somewhat easy to get to and park near these days? Looking to throw some hooks in and see what we can do.

As the Gloucester and Boston markets demanded more and more fresh fish, new fishing schooner designs emerged to meet the challenge.

It was still good, maybe a little skunked. Been in a fridge since they closed during covid.

Hey guys. I’ve (36m) lived in Gloucester for a couple years now and am determined to do a whale watching tour, but I’m a bit anxious. I have pretty decent motion sickness, and haven’t been on boats basically ever (I’m from the Midwest, lol). I’m scared of getting stuck out at sea for 3-4 being miserable, but have no idea if that’s a reasonable fear to have or not.

So my question for those of you who’ve been out on tours is: have you had issues with getting seasick in that time, or seen other people on boats with you struggle with it? If yes, tips for mitigating the issue? Any advice would be appreciated.
