We are pleased to share a fantastic piece of coverage from Walter & Pat Brooks on CapeCodToday.com, which receives about 61,000 visitors a month and on PlymouthDailyNews.com, about 83,000 visitors per month. The couple visited  Gloucester on September 14^th and 15^th.

Positioning Gloucester as the “other” Cape (while making a sly aside that Gloucester residents consider Cape Cod as the “other”), an angle we have been pushing, their review goes well beyond our expectations. They had meals at the Gloucester House, Lat 43, and Passports, all of which they include a review accompanied by enticing images for each. The feature discusses some history of Gloucester and praises the many activities available. Noting this part of the New England seacoast is sadly overlooked, they highly recommend spending a few days in Gloucester.  Numerous beautiful images and links were also included.

The "other" Cape

Older than Cape Cod, and very different

  Gloucester is one of those seaports where every turn reveals another great photo op.

Gloucester is a very colorful and active seaport

If you're looking for a nearby excursion to a part of the New England seacoast sadly overlooked, I highly recommend spending a few days at the tip of Cape Ann in the bustling seaport named Gloucester.

Local wags here refer to Cape Cod as the "the other cape."

Like so many other attractions right at our backdoor (have you taken a whale watch or train ride recently here?), Gloucester was a pleasant surprise when we spent a weekend there this month....

We are delighted with this positive, in-depth coverage. You can see the feature here.
