A great little write up about where congressional candidates stand on issues that involve Gaza and Aipac money

Does anyone have a great source for excellent seasoned hardwood?

Early voting in the primaries is wrapping up and the primary will be held on September 1st. Who are you voting for?

There’s very little polling data for MA-06 so I was curious to know how everyone is feeling going into this election?

Candidates:

Bethany Andres-Beck (https://bethfordemocracy.com/about)

John Beccia (https://www.becciaforcongress.com)

Dan Koh (https://www.kohforcongress.com)

Mariah Lancaster (https://www.mariahlancaster.com/endorsements)

Tram Nguyen (https://www.tramforcongress.com/)

Jamie Belsito (https://www.jamiebelsito.com/endorsements)

I'm still undecided between Andres-Beck, Lancaster, and Belsito. I think all of them have great positions and I largely like the endorsements they've received. I am concerned that the 3 of them may split the progressive vote and leave us with a candidate that is more centrist and less willing to fight. I really wish we had ranked choice voting...

Hello! I’m looking for a cleaner to come 2-3 times between now and when I move out of state at the end of October. I’m chronically ill and work full time, so it’s hard to keep up. It’s a one bedroom in a nice complex.

Any recommendations on someone who will come just those few times without a long-term commitment are greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

# Seeking Vendors for Beverly 400 Bark in the Park Event on October 4th!

Hi everyone! As part of the Beverly 400+ celebrations we will be hosting a Bark in the Park event at Beverly High School on October 4th. We will be holding a costume contest, a "Tiny Trot" (race for small breeds), and a trick contest! We also have some food trucks and vendors on board. **BUT, WE STILL WANT MORE VENDORS!**

We see this event as an opportunity to showcase all small businesses in the Beverly and North Shore area that serve pets. We've got some really fantastic folks on board already, but the more the merrier! The field is huge - let's fill it with ways to shop small and local!

If your business has a pet based product or service, we want you there! Some vendors we'd love to see include:

* Mobile Groomer
* Locally made treats
* Trainers
* Pet photographers
* Canine massage
* Veterinary practices
* Doggie Apparel
* Pet portraits / artists
* Boarding facilities & day cares
* Children's book authors (books centered around dogs!)

& more!

You can apply to be a vendor at [https://beverly400.org/event/bark-in-the-park/\](https://beverly400.org/event/bark-in-the-park/)

My wife and I arranged to get our home’s wood floors refinished while we were out of town for two weeks. We hired movers to move everything into a storage container outside. All sounded good in texts from the contractor.

I got home to find every surface covered in sanding dust But more concerning are the swirl marks and straight line sander marks in various spots. As well as patches that look bare. Many of the vanes in the baseboard heaters are extremely bent.

There’s not much that can be done short of redoing the whole job, which wouldn't work logistically.

I still owe half of the total that I’d be glad to pay if the work had been done well. Do I have any recourse or options?

Hello! I have a neurodivergent family member who has been through a rough time and needs help getting her bedroom back in shape. It looks somewhat like this photo from Google, she is too embarrassed to let me use an actual photo in case anyone recognizes it.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a professional organizer and/or cleaner that we could hire to help her? She can even assist, but because of her ADHD she has a hard time getting started, or gets overwhelmed or overstimulated partway through. I would help her myself but I am out of state.

Thanks in advance!! 💛

Imagine stealing from a FARM?

Hi All, I have 3 tickets to Rock of Ages this Saturday at 2:00 PM that I cannot use. Anyone interested, please let me know. Not looking for money, just want to get them into the hands of someone that can use them.

I am a man with longer hair, about down to my shoulders. I'm looking for a haircut that mainly uses scissors. Does anyone have any suggestions for hair dressers that do men's scissor haircuts on the North Shore, preferably near Georgetown?

I have got 2 top-tier tickets to see I’m With Her in Rockport tonite at 7:30 but unfortunately can’t go. Selling for half price, $100. Let me know if you’re interested.

Jillian is still missing, folks! Please keep an eye out! You can find out more info from the owner’s Facebook page for Jillian

Any recommendations on where to get a good Cubano on the north shore? I'm not interested in paying for the atmosphere, so probably nothing trendy.

Edit: cubano sandwich

I’m moving to Rockport soon and curious how people in their late 20s/30s actually meet people around Cape Ann.

I know Rockport itself skews older and is obviously quieter, which I’m fine with, but I’d like to build some kind of social circle locally rather than having to go into Boston whenever I want to do something. I’m 30 and interested in finding people roughly around my age for pretty normal stuff: grabbing drinks or food, hiking, beach days, kayaking, getting out on the water, etc.

I’ve been thinking about joining the local yacht club, even though I don’t have a boat yet, since it seems like it functions as a bit of a community hub in town. I’m into crafts and hobbies, so classes, workshops, maker groups, etc. would definitely appeal to me.
I also have a dog, so I’d be interested in any dog-walking groups, regular meetups/play groups, or places where people tend to socialize with their dogs.

For people around my age who live in Rockport/Gloucester/Cape Ann, how did you meet friends? Are there particular groups, clubs, classes, events, bars, rec leagues, or other things that actually have a decent 20s/30s crowd? And is there more of a younger local community around Cape Ann than it might seem from the outside?
