George Cushing (the political consultant for the Newburyport Political Blog) of Frog Pond at Newburyport’s Bartlett Mall, is quite distressed at the impending departure of Julie LaBranche, Newburyport’s City Planner.

George Cushing is not alone. Apparently many of the frogs at Frog Pond at the Bartlett Mall feel the same way. And George Cushing’s cousin Georgette Cushing of Frog Pond is so distressed that she has decided to accompany Julie on her journeys.

Georgette Cushing is a warmer, gentler version of George Cushing of Frog Pond at the Bartlett Mall.
