Did You Know? (Spurious Claims about Rocky Neck)

That there are spurious claims being made about Rocky Neck, especially concerning the Madfish Wharf galleries?  Two men were walking onto Madfish Wharf this morning and one turned to the other and said: “There are no galleries open down here anymore.”  Of course I immediately corrected him; but I have heard this false rumor on a number of occasions, so it is time to set the record straight.  All the gallery spaces on Madfish Wharf are not only filled, but also operated by a bunch of creative, talented, fun-loving artists and people who want to promote Rocky Neck and the arts in a general on this beautiful little slice of Heaven called Cape Ann.  So any of you who might have heard this rumor, be advised that it is false and come down to Rocky Neck to check it our for yourself.  In addition to the 20 fine galleries and shops you will find on Rocky Neck (9 of them on or by Madfish Wharf alone), there is also great dining at The Studio, The Rudder and Madfish Grill (lunch and dinner), as well as great entertainment Thursday through Sunday nights (and karaoke on Wednesday at Madfish), as well as Sailor Stan’s for a great breakfast or lunch and Amy’s Coffee and Cones for coffee, Richardson’s ice cream or Richie’s Slush.  And if you want to stay on Rocky Neck, there is the Rocky Neck Accommodations, where every room has a deck overlooking beautiful Smith’s Cove.  All this in one of the prettiest places on Cape Ann with some of the most vibrant, unique and independent spirits you’ll ever meet.  And did I mention great art and unique gifts!E.J.
