JP Harris Tix @ The Cut, Nov. 14

Longshot here, but we have two tickets for the JP Harris show tonight at the Cut in Gloucester, and we’re unable to attend. If anyone sees this today and wants to go on my dime, reach out by about 3:00 and I’ll make it happen. Please, only respond if you 100% will go. Tickets are two together for center rail standing, pretty decent ‘seats’.

Sound familiar?

A friend wants me to find photograph this- “I can’t remember where it was, but I think was at the tip of Gloucester at a dead end or at least it was dead and back in the day there was a bench it overlook the ocean a little placard on it that said she loved it here he was a father dedicating it to his daughter.”

Let me know if this sounds familiar. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a low cost/no cost dental assistance in town?

Looking for some help with a very bothersome tooth and I don’t have insurance, I’m in an incredible amount of pain and am on the verge of sterilizing a pair of pliers to extract it myself, thanks in advance.

Fireball

Did anyone else see a large fireball come down about 5:20 this morning? I was walking up Mt Pleasant Ave heading towards the golf course and saw a large fireball up in front of me with something black rotating in the front of it. It was coming down at just a slight angle and probably landed just off shore. I’ve seen a lot of shooting stars but this was something else as the fireball was pretty big.

I'm looking for a place to go camping near the quarries?? Anybody have info

So I grew up in the area and in the 90s I used to go up to the quarries and sometimes you would jump off and go swimming... It was a lot of fun and freedom

I've heard since then they did something with the parking where you can't park near the quarries or something and not sure if you can even get in there

But here's my real question

I'm planning a little camping trip with some local friends while I'm in town and we always go camping out and basically just drink all night have a fire, enjoy the night and nature and then in the morning pick up everything and leave. Not looking for any campgrounds or any of that... Looking to see if it's just possible to have a little fire someplace and where the best place is where we're not going to get bothered by anyone as we're not bothering anyone.

Maybe best if someone direct messages me if you have a place that you think it would be okay and a place where we could park

Weird Guy at Long Wharf

Girlfriend and I decided to have an evening paddle on the Anisquam. We arrived about 5:30 PM yesterday (Sunday, 8/25/2024). I take my Kayak off my car and walk it to the gravel launch. I turn around and see an older man changing in front of partner as she was unloading her boat. When we had our boats on the gravel ramp he came over and said he needed to lower his trailer in. There was no boat on the trailer and no boats in the harbour. Also there is a perfectly good cement ramp to the right of the gravel one. He asked us if we needed help launching and we declined. I launched while my partner was still getting her paddle together and electronics placed in a water bag. He then pushed her off the ramp saying they needed the ramp. (Again, there was a second ramp). He was also making comments about the dogs who were playing “They just want to mate”. He said this to another woman who had brought her dog to kayak with.

Anyone else deal with this guy? It was just overall an uncomfortable experience. There were kids running around and this experience made us not want to paddle, but as we were already out we decided to stay out until we were confident he had left.

Best wings in town?

Looking to get wings for the UFC later but I've realized that in the 2 years I have lived here, I have never gotten any wings from anywhere. Happy to go to Rockport too if you think the best wings are there. So let me have it, where are your favorite wings on the island?
