BRYAN EATON/Staff photo. Inspired by jokes on doors on the other side of Newburyport by #smileNBPT and #frontdoorjokes, Ken Groder put up sign on his Brown Avenue home, which is off Ferry Road. Other signs of community, hope, thanks and looking forward past the coronavirus blanket have been appearing in the area as well as the comic relief ones.
