Gardner News GARDNER City officials and business owners are welcoming the news that the state’s pandemic lockdown restrictions will soon be lifted entirely. On May 17, Gov. Charlie Baker announced that all remaining COVID-19 restrictions and capacity limits will be lifted on May 29. The move means that fully vaccinated people would no longer be required to wear a mask in most places, and capacity limits would return to 100 percent for all businesses. The state of emergency in Massachusetts will end on June 15. Mayor Michael Nicholson said he was relieved to hear that the restrictions would be lifted in the city. ....
Gardner News GARDNER U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan and U.S. Sen. Edward Markey toured the PACC vaccination clinic on May 6 and stopped by the Gardner Ale House to highlight relief funding from the American Rescue Plan, which has bolstered the state’s efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’re proud that Massachusetts is in the top 2 of all 50 states in terms of shots in arms so far,” said Markey after receiving an update on the clinic’s efforts from Mayor Michael Nicholson. “We know that it’s a race against time, and notwithstanding how well this Gardner facility is doing, we know that there’s still a lot more work to do because of the unfortunately high percentage of individuals who still have a hesitancy, a reluctance, to get the vaccination. Or, they’re in difficult-to-reach parts of communities, so we’re very heartened to hear the plans which the community has to reach out to (them).” ....
Gardner News GARDNER Visitors to the downtown area will soon have more outside waiting and dining options while patronizing local businesses and eateries. City officials will soon begin erecting several tables and canopies in the Maki lot across from the Gardner Ale House, one table at West Lynde Street, as well as some on the sidewalk next to the George C. Sweeney parking lot at the intersection of City Hall Avenue, Main Street and Pleasant Street. The city received a $48,000 grant last year as part of the state’s Shared Streets and Spaces program, according to officials. The decision was made to use the funds to create outdoor dining and waiting areas for the city’s restaurants, barbers and salons as a way to help businesses with public safety and logistical improvements during the coronavirus pandemic. The grant was also aimed at funding projects that could be sustained even after the shutdown was lifted, according to officials. ....
Gardner Ale House and HUB New England anchor Parker Street like the businesses of days past Mike Richard Special for The Gardner News There are many sections of downtown Gardner that, sadly, are only mute reminders of a once grand city that was swarming with activity. Longtime residents mourn the fact that the former Orpheum Theater building and the Maki Block have been razed, while the stately Ryan Brothers Block currently stands virtually empty. However, in stark contrast are the former Levine and Barthel Blocks – no longer referred by their archaic names – but thriving today as the Gardner Ale House and HUB New England business and personal insurance, respectively. ....
Pizza may have been first sold in Gardner at the former Buffo’s Spaghetti House Mike Richard What’s happened to all of the pizza joints in Gardner? Of course, I am being facetious, but at one time there was more than a dozen places in the city where you could purchase a pizza pie in these parts. It nearly became a joke of sorts that a city the size of Gardner had more pizza joints per capita than most communities statewide. However, that number is dwindling to the point where now there are only eight places in Gardner to buy pizza. ....
