The person behind it
Raquel Ott
Gloucester VA Realtor · Creator of GLOSSther
I started GLOSSther because I kept finding out about great things happening around Gloucester just a little too late. Events I missed, restaurants I didn't know had specials, local news I heard about through the grapevine.
This is my fix for that. Every week I pull together the events, eats, and local news worth knowing about — so you don't miss a thing. As a Gloucester-based realtor, I'm deeply invested in this community. GLOSSther is my way of showing people just how much is going on here.
