CITY NEEDS IMPROVEMENT

Gloucester City Council says it wants to improve the City but they keep doing things to make it impossible.

How can we build new homes on Klemm Avenue, or build new condos at Southpoint when we have nothing here to offer people and make them want to live here?

The City let the Acme Market move out of town and now they keep turning WAWA down for the things they wish to do to improve the store.

One councilwoman even said let them move somewhere else, sure that’s fine, but it is the only store we have here.

WAWA has been here for 25 years and the people that are complaining moving in after the WAWA was built, they knew it was there.

We need tax ratable and stores in Gloucester City. Not everyone has a car and we do have a lot of seniors living here. Get us a supermarket and let WAWA do their thing. This can only help entice people to move here when eve-rything is finally finished.

We do need people to buy those condos and new homes.

Let’s make Gloucester City the best place to live.

Remember we have an opportunity to vote the people out of office that do not care about the City.

Shirley Fox, Gloucester City

Breakfast Club Dec. 2007

By Lois Lane, gossip columnist for ClearysNoteBook The Gloucester City Breakfast Club had a huge turnout for their December 29 meeting held at the Dining Car Depot, Monmouth Street at the Railroad. Some thirty-nine men were in attendance. Hank Miller won the prize for coming the longest distance.Breakfast_club_december_07_003 The former Gloucester resident, who writes the column When East Meets West for ClearysNoteBook, flew in from his home in Kitakyushu City, Japan just for the breakfast. Winning second place was former Gloucesterite Jack Bowe, who traveled from St. Louis Missouri to see his friends. Third was Bill Wibby Yeager who drove from Dover, Delaware. Fourth and Fifth Place goes to Butch Shaffer (Cape May) and Ron Raube (Mays Landing). The winners each received a second cup of coffee at no charge plus all the water they could drink. El Presidente Chas Pitzo announced that Bill Cleary has resigned as treasurer and Jack Heiser volunteered to take his place. Pitzo gave a treasury report stating there was $400 in the account. Speaking of Cleary he was the winner of the 50-50 this month. Since he was chosen to pick the stub out of the bucket some members thought he shouldn't be eligible to Breakfast_club_december_07_006 win. The executive board held an emergency meeting and ruled he could keep the prize ($19.02) as long as he picked up the tab for everyone's breakfast. Needless to say when it came time to pay the check Cleary was no where to be found. Besides those already mentioned others in attendance included: Sam Chew, Frank Grandizio, Tom and Bud Wrigley, John Lang, Joe Boulden, Bob Bevan, Frank Cipolone, Bob Sliwa, Jack Persichetti, Ron Middleton, Joe DiGiacomo, Earl Kaighn, Walt Hall, Stu Rechard, Tom Moody. Also, Gary Marcucci, John Hindsley, Joe Raube, Rick Gonzales, Jim and Harry Blymer, Mike Bowe, Joe Miller, Chalie Tourtual, Harry Walker, Tom ChooChoo Murphy, and Bob Bevan. The next meeting, Saturday, January 26 at 9 AM. To become a member you must be a male, be able to eat breakfast and enjoy laughing. Also you need to know the answer to this question……where was the Charles Street Stadium located? Just in case you need a hint it was somewhere in Gloucester City.
