Plans are in the works to turn this dilapidated building on North Broadway owned by the South Jersey Port Corporation into a Methadone Clinic that will treat up to 700 addicts a day. The property is located within 100 feet of the borderline that separates Gloucester City from Camden City. The windows in the building are all broken, trash is sprawl all about. From the appearance of the property it should have been condemned years ago.

-Side view of the proposed new site for a methadone clinic on North Broadway near the borderline of the City of Gloucester and the City of Camden. Owned by the South Jersey Port Corporation, the property is overrun with weeds and trash. In the background is the incinerator that pollutes our lungs every day.

If you or I owned this property we would have been fined and taken to court for not maintaining it. Why hasn\’t the South Jersey Port Corp. been taken to task for not maintaining it. How much of our tax dollars are going to be used to bring this building up to code.

Trucks drive past the proposed methadone clinic heading south into Gloucester City.

Flag Ship Charters will be docked in Gloucester City starting June 1 through the summer months. The ship will tie up at the north basin of the former Coast Guard Base, on King Street.

You can charter the ship for BREAKFAST club meetings and events, weddings and wedding receptions, graduation parties, anniversaries engagement parties, school reunions, showers , celebrations etc.

To learn more go their website: www.flagshipcharters.net

Originally the Flag Ship was going to be part of the City’s Environmental Day on Saturday, May 10. However because of engine problems the boat will not be able to make the event.

Gloucester City has placed a plaque on the anchor that was moved from the former Coast Guard Base to the City Marina in August 2007 explaining it origin. When the anchor was moved to its new location there was some remarks about the swastika symbol stamped into the anchor. To clear up any misunderstanding the City had the plaque made. It reads as follows:This anchor came from the cargo ship \”Saint Ambroise\” launched in Saunderland, England in 1919. The anchor is stamped with an upright swastika which represents the Hindu symbol for long life, good health and good luck. This swastika should not be confused with the off-set swastika that symbolized the evil and tyranny of Nazi Germany
