rise and hear the gossip - View this location on map 'o.k., it's a little early, but that's when the dock street diner opens up ( 508-627-5232). it will never be known for its cuisine - we're talking basic cheap breakfast food - and it has no tables, just a row of stools at a counter. but at this hour, the customers are regulars, usually fishermen, and it's a place for eavesdropping on the local gossip, getting tips on the weather and the fishing. nurse your coffee, served in a paper cup, and order some eggs.''
