The Suggestion Box

Our best ideas come from others! Thank you.

I can't believe how wonderful this website is. It makes me want to move to Hull.

I can help you with that!

AWESOME WEBSITE! Just what our town needs. I look forward to reviewing it often! Do you have any plans to add a "my favorite photos" section? I've noticed that on all the other hull-related websites, there aren't a lot of great photos - and we have such a pretty town. At any rate, best of luck & IT ROCKS!

I live across the pond in Houghs Neck. Although we share the beautiful ocean and the fantastic sunsets we lack a on line magazine like yours. I'm sure this is nothing you haven't heard before but, you folks have created a great on line communuty magazine. The layout is well designed and colorful. Plenty of great photo's by some very talented amateur photographer’s. The articles are home grown, refreshing and informative. Congratulations. (January 2008)

What a great website and EXACTLY what Hull needed. I will spread the word to everyone I know. Thank you for doing this much needed service for Hull.  (January 2008)

Love your mag and forward it to others around the country who have been here. 

I have to tell you – this website is awesome – I have forwarded the link to everyone I know in Hull and those who lived here in the past! ---- It appears to be your creation — AWESOME !

You continue to do a great job, thank you. Would you consider a blog for local politics only? It could end after the May election.

I've read your Hull site and the article on a person with Parkinson's. Congratulations on putting it in the spotlight, it all helps. We are in Rhinebeck in Northern Dutchess County, New York. Keep up you good work, and post your PD related material here for us all to gain inspiration.

Cindy, I just took my first glance at HullMAgazine and am blown away! My god, how fantastic and beautiful it is! I will spend more time there when I can. It is greeeeeaaaaaaatttttttttttttt! 

You have put together an absolutely wonderful website!!! The pictures, the videos, the stories, the memories, the information, the dedication to charity!! I just cannot say enough good things!!! As a woman, land-locked in Georgia, this was a breath of fresh ocean air. THANK YOU!!!!!!

This is great! Please keep me on your list!

I was just checking out hullmagazine.com and loved it. You've done a truly remarkable job with both the content and design of the website. I should have used you to redesign our company website. Your article on Parkinson's was very heart-warming. And Diana's pictures are amazing, of course. Hull appears to be a lovely little town. I'd love to visit someday.  

Wow! The publication looks so great! Thanks for letting me know how to get to see my ad.

Hello, guys! I was very amazing to see such a well-done work. I bookmarked your site to visit you again and recommended it to my friends.

APPRECIATE SOME COVERAGE OF THE DISABILITIES COMMISSION  

This comment came from Jim Maurer, who since has become a friend and a helpful, supportive Parkinson's guide. Truly, if the only thing that came from creating hullmagazine.com was meeting Jim, I would be a happy camper.

Very cool site! Would you like listings from Hingham Symphony? We perform all around the South Shore - and will be changing our name this year to reflect our regional reach... I know we have many fans in Hull. 

We list events from all over the South Shore and Boston. If it is of interest to people in Hull, we welcome your listing.

This is terrific - I loved reading the story on Craig Wolfe and know him as quite the character. 

I have so many fond and fun memories of Hull and the rides!! I drive there just to go walking.

Found your HULLMAgazine.com today after hearing about it through the grapevine. I found it to be very comfortable and easy to navigate. Well done!

Your website looks great! I really enjoy the profiles and was very interested in the Kenberma survey results.  

"High School Artist of the month." Working with the art teacher at Hull High and showing the accomplishments of the young artists.

Thank you. I love the online magazine by the way. I check it every day. Keep up the good work! 

Thanks for sending this to me. It looks great!! Any chance you can put a tab on for Animal Control or Animal News? 

That's great! Looks like your business listings are growing also. I hope that continues! If you have a holder for your postcards it will be easier to display them at the counter.

Does it have to be a Hull event?

IIt does not need to be a Hull event, just needs to be of interest to people in Hull  

Hi. I went to the website www.bostonpilots.com and there is so much info there.maybe you can use it? Just letting you know. 

Great link! It is now up on the boating page.

What a great magazine. Keep it up.

Dear Cin, I know a famous publisher and it is YOU!!!!! What a great magazine and where do you find the time to do such creative stuff? The photographer is very talented.  

My friend just sent me your newsletter, it is really wonderful. 

Wow...I really enjoyed looking at what you have created for the lucky town of Hull! The personal journey you are sharing was moving. 

You are amazing! HULLMAgazine.com is awesome, and I am so proud to have you as my mom :)

I think your magazine is awesome! 

Someone sent me the link to your magazine. I think it is terrific!  

This is great! I got to read some of the articles, including the one on Parkinson's disease...I thought it was wonderful. And that artist...J Marshall Dyke...so funny...I used to do the same thing he does after completing a project...I'd sit back and have a beer and "admire my handiwork"!!! Looks like a cutie.

Thank you Cindy for creating this site. 

Love your site, colorful and full of life.

I just love reading your magazine and I "kvell" about your abilities and talents. It's wonderful!

( Okay -- this one came from my Aunt! )

Looks great. I bet you get some good feedback. 

Can you ask the Hull Light man to talk about the new "little" windmill they just put up by the Estuary.

This answer was received by Pat Cannon of Cannon Electric:

THIS TURBINE IS CALLED HULL WIND 2 1/2 STANDING 34' TALL WITH 6' BLADES. THIS MACHINE STANDS ON A FOUNDATION THAT IS 8' DEEP AND 4' ROUND THE TURBINE IS A 1.8 KILOWATT GENERATOR THAT BENEFITS THE ESTUARY BUILDING BY TURNING THE ELECTRIC METER BACKWARDS WHEN IT IS GENERATING LOOKING IN THE BACKGROUND YOU SEE 2 1/2S BIG BROTHER HULL WIND 2 HULL WIND 2 GENERATES 1000 TIMES THE ELECTRICITY THAT 2 1/2 GENERATES HULL WIND 2 IS A 1.8 MEGAWATT TURBINE

A friend told me about your online paper and I think it's a great idea and it looks awesome!! I am an Accredited Staging Professional and have a Home Staging business in Hull (and my husband and I also live here) called Home Staging by Plimpton Design. I was wondering if you might consider doing an article on my business either in the real estate section or some other section of the paper. 

You do really love the town as I do and I appreciate that very much. Feel free to call me anytime with questions or help. I wish you all the best.  

I have so many ideas..thanks for starting this site.and yes, use my photos.would love for people to see them.

Thank you so much for offering your support in helping to publicize the Walk this year! I enjoyed looking around on your website- it's a great source of information for people on the South Shore. Would it be possible to put something on the site about the Walk in addition to the events posting as we get closer to the event?

First let me say I love your website and think this is a great idea for the community. Both my husband and I grew up and Hull. I frequently get over to Nantucket and they have a website with a familiar feel. They also offer a guest book for people who had frequented the island to jot down some thoughts. Just a thought for your website. 

I may be interested in advertising. How many hits are on your site and can one click through to my site?

I think it is fabulous. It shows off Hull as great place to live. You really have put such fun touches in the design of the magazine.

Hull is truly a great place to live!

The website is very exciting. Perhaps you can interview me when Boris comes out in September.

I love your HULLMAgazine.com. 

Nicely done! Your professionalism is refreshing! 

Thanks Alot!! I keep sending your site link to people... ;-) 

We so appreciate your spreading the word via e-mail.

Thank you. I liked it! I have been spreading the word (words) and lots of complements! Congratulations! 

Great website. Love how it flows. 

I just saw your edition of HULLMAgazine.com. It looks great. 

45 min to Boston sounds far...how about, Boston is only a ferryboat or train away.... 

45 minutes from Boston may not promote Hull the way residents would like, but it's honest, almost, although 45 minutes to Boston is optimistic at most all times but earliest morning and latest night  

Congratulations, Cindy. It's fabulous! What a great accomplishment! 

What a good idea and nice looking website! I just love to read about other writers, and one thing you might consider for that section is to come up with a standard little question and answer feature. You send a list of interesting questions (the same ones all the time) and the writer answers them.

The town is all abuzz with your new undertaking and I wish you well. 

Congratulations and good luck! It looks good. As a former newspaper editor/publisher before venturing into the world of PR (print as opposed to "online,"), I always enjoy seeing what others in the industry do.  

HULLMAgazine.com is a very attractive site with beautiful pictures, up-to-date events, people and places of interest to be discovered, special features and unusual news stories, with its own upbeat editorial stance and open invitation to the ideas - not to mention the pictures - of others... Wow! What a gold mine!  

I think this is wonderful! Great work.

Hull is wonderfully picturesque. I love taking pictures around town and carry my digital camera with me most of the time I am out and about and a scene strikes me as worthy of capturing. How about inviting individuals to take Hull scenes and offer titles, and you, a professional photographer or some trusted soul picks one a month to post on your web site to share with others? 

In See the new Hull Shutterbugs Photo Album and please keep sending in photos for "Photo of the Day" on the home page.

I just want to comment on the good fortune of the Hull community in having the Hull Public Library and its dedicated director and staff. We have always received excellent attention and services for all of our sometimes highly technical and esoteric needs. The courtesy, efficiency, and promptness of staff are available nowhere else in our wide experience with libraries. Thank you Dan. 

This fan mail was forwarded to Dan Johnson, Director of the Hull Public Library.

I think this is a perfect vehicle for communication with Hull residents. Great job! Suggestion for restaurant reviews. Require 10 reviews before posting comments about a restaurant, use a scale of 1 to 5 and require an email address from the reviewer (for editors verification not necessary to post) Only show averages but show details? Clean the slate every 60 days so a restaurant doesn't become unfairly branded. These are just random thoughts. Thanks again for a great concept.

I think it would promote Hull better to say "20 miles south of Boston " instead of 45 minutes to Boston ...making it sound much further away than it is...

I just want to thank you for your personal, sensitive comments about Parkinson's. It was very helpful, informative and courageous of you to share with so many people you don't know and also those whom you do. You are wished the continued strength and determination to that have contributed so much to your achievements as demonstrated in this wonderful magazine. Thanks. 

I saw an article in the newspaper on your magazine and i thought i would look it up. i am not that big of a fan of the internet but i think you have a great site. i also love hull and nantasket beach. have been going there since i was little. great colors in your format.

...said you had a neat website and magazine. I agree...they are wonderful. Of note, nice to see a place to do a classified or find out what is going on in Hull. Like the album of photo's idea.  

Your site is so much more helpful than anything else offered any where else..This should be at the top of the list when you click onto Hull..  

I am writing in the hopes you can direct me to sources and contacts that can assist me with the book I am researching on the great hotels that once governed the beaches at Nantasket. I have been trying in particular to locate recipes used at the time for the "Rhode Island Clam Bake" advertised at places like the Nantasket. the Atlantic, Rockland, Ocean View, and the Pemberton.  

Forwarded to John Galluzzo (historian) who replied: "I've never seen any recipes, unfortunately. Coincidentally, there's another author, a professor at the University of Delaware, working on a history of New England resort hotels of the 19th century. He recently came through town."

Cindy, what a great project. Is this something that you started? I was touched by your discussion of Parkinson's and how you have gone public with this story. I applaud your generosity in sharing this with others. 

Hi, you won't believe it but I'm sitting here going through the magazine and loving it. You do such incredible work.

Have singles meet once a month at local restaurants. Plus have a classified section where people can put their profiles. Just a thought, 

Ask a question on the streeT ( Each issue have an interesting question, and stop people in the street; in the local hangout: etc. Have a tiny photo of each person picked to be in magazine.. I would love to do it!! I could wear a funny old time men's hat ( reporter style ) Have a question the magazine wants me to ask,and I could interview people and we could select a few to publish..People would know they might or would be in so I am certain,they would tell yheir friends,etc.and would be great publicity to this great magazine !!!!!!'  

I recently visited HULLMAgazine.com and really enjoyed it! Thank you for doing this for Hull. 

I just stumbled upon your website and wanted to let you know that I think it is fantastic! It's obvious that a lot of work went into it (and must continue to go into it to keep it updated). Most of my life was spent in Hull and I have family there, so we still visit. But it's nice that I can visit on your website, too. Much faster than the 3 hour ride that it usually takes! Keep up the good work!

I forwarded this to Hull friends. They were pleased with the magazine. Thanks.  

Congrats to you HULLMAgazine is most incredible, you have done a great job

HOLY SHEEWOW! I'm 100% thrilled with the story!  

July 07: Hello, guys! I was very amazing to see such a well-done work. I bookmarked your site to visit you again and recommended it to my friends.
