Here’s a head’s up. Although the weather isn’t bad (yet), The Town of Rockport has a winter parking ban in effect after 12 midnight tonight. From the GDT: “Beginning Nov. 15, through April 1, 2014, the annual winter parking ban will be in effect between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. On-street parking is prohibited during this time. Parking will be allowed in these areas: the perimeter of the resident parking lot adjacent to Town Hall, Back Beach at the metered parking spots in front of the restrooms, and T-Wharf. Call the DPW office at 978-546-3525 or the Rockport Police Department at 978-546-1212.” This parking violation will cost you $25. BTW, this photo is of Main Street in Gloucester.

Actually I think the ban started at midnight this morning. I saw 4 cars with orange notices parked on King St. Today. Seems a bit antiquated given the weather and this age of technology, but then they also do pkg. stickers by laborious hand, too.
Excellent information and reminders for the new winter ahead. Memory lane here – and snow…Those in lanesville who left vehicles on Washngton street found themselves snowed in by plow had to dig out 60’s. Then there is rule number one as young lad never skitch behind a plow with a sander on back, Instant stop not to mention you get sandblasted quick…Not safe either but when your a young rascal – I do believe the truck driver’s who didn’t have the sander on when you grabbed on picked you up in the mirror and turned it on….:-(
Good Morning Gloucester
