On Tuesday night, I was in the St. Peter’s Club in Gloucester, when I heard it for the first time this year. “Me chi samiou, dute mute!” a guy sitting at the bar suddenly shouted. “Viva San Pietro!” everyone responded. “Me chi samiou, dute mute!” he shouted even louder this time, since what he’s asking translates to, “What are we, mute?”“Viva San Pietro!” the bar shouted back. And just like that, I got that feeling of surprise again.

MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA — Matthew Swindell has been the most stared-at person in town since the moment he began taking his after-work strolls to Singing Beach. Seemingly everyone notices him — he would have it no other way — and sightings of the dapper young man in the three-piece suit and old-timey hat are gleefully gossiped around this tiny Cape Ann town.
