George Peabody was born here in 1795. The area is industrial. We saw the sign while driving, so made a pit stop – unfortunately it’s not open at the time. He was the American banker in London, and forged a close relationship with William Wetmore who named his son George Peabody Wetmore in 1846.

According to Essex Heritage, aside from museum, it’s also the Peabody Leather Workers Museum – Peabody Visitor Center. The city of Peabody has about 52k population, is known for its rich industrial history. It’s part of Salem. It left Salem in 1752, and named to Peabody in 1868, to honor George Peabody, a resident, and the father of modern philanthropy.

George Peabody had no son, so took on Junius Spencer Morgan as a partner in 1854. Ten years later, after Peabody retired, the business could eventually became J.P. Morgan &. Co. – commercial and investment banking. John Pierpont Morgan was the oldest child of Junius. J.P. Morgan had given birth to JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Deutsche Bank.

The library has recently moved from Salem to Rowley, June of 2018. The old one was housed in the red brick building across street from PEM to the new, non describe commercial building 10 some miles away, in Rowley. The staff was responsive but in person, some aren’t too friendly.

PEM’s $20 admission is a little stepp given what they’ve to show for, but the atrium is very pleasing. They’re still expending. The Chines house is rare – moved piece by piece from Anhui, China and reassembled here. The tour of old house by volunteer is nice. Unfortunately the Phillips Library has just moved.

A little embarrassing that I cleaned the plate – the sauce is that delicius – will return.

This has to be the best restaurant in Salem, period. The interior

A great little research trip to New England, on the early days of USA.

This trading port (less ‘pretty’ than a fishing port …) of Massachusetts is 18 miles northeast of Boston. The city’s population is 41k, with 1 million visitors each year that generate about $100 million. Here is their marketing site. I find it attactive, and fits into my research only adds more favorably. I spent all my time in the the following:

• Chestnut Street District:
  • Pickering House @ 18 Broad Stree
  • The Francis Cox House was built in 1846 and is situated at the corner of Chestnut and Summer street
• Maritime National Historic Site: Derby House @ 168 Derby Street and Derby Whar

I don’t think that there’s a comparison to be made but I’ll try. First some statistics – 我认为纽约在各方面都比波士顿好. 二个城市/区域不在同一个档次: 用苹果和枣很难相比, 虽然都是水果. 纽约资源的丰富没有其它城市/地区可以相提并论. 以下是一些统计数据:

Uniquely NY 纽约独有:

• NYPL owns the most expensive stamp 纽约公共图书馆收藏有最贵的邮票
• Michelin starred Chinese 米其林星的中餐馆
• US Open 美网公开赛
• US Open 美高尔夫公开赛

具体例子:

1. 2015年度 纽约爱乐乐团是  $242 mil, 波士顿交响乐团预算是 $78 mil.
2. 2016 职业棒球队的 工资/薪酬  纽约扬基队是 $214 m, 波士顿红袜队是 $166 m.

纽约地大物博 卧虎藏龙. 1991年去维也纳旅游, 适是莫扎特逝世200周年. 整个城市沉浸莫扎特的画像/广告里. 我是因为喜欢莫扎特才去但是铺天盖地的纪念有些令我窒息. 纽约辽源广阔 能够包容多项活动同时进行, 加之人才济济, 没有一个单项/人可以劫持纽约, 除了9.11. 不来纽约是你的损失.
