Lawrence, KS
Travel just 40 miles west of Kansas City on I-70 and you'll find a town, Lawrence, ranked by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of the Dozen Most Distinctive Destinations in 2000, touting it as one of the most well-preserved and unique communities in the United States. Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Northeast Kansas, this college town of more than 80,000 is home to the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University.
Founded in 1854 by the New England Emigrant Aid Society in an effort to keep the territory free from slavery, Lawrence is said to be one of the only U.S. cities founded strictly for political reasons. During the Civil War, Lawrence was home to many Abolitionists and Free Staters. It was a town representative of anti-slavery sentiments, making it the target of several attacks by pro-slavery bushwhackers. On August 21, 1863, the infamous Quantrill's Raid resulted in the deaths of more than 150 unarmed Lawrence men and boys and nearly destroyed the young city in what has become by historians as one of the worst atrocities of the Civil War. As a result, Lawrence has evolved into a melting pot of ideas and styles, artists and scholars, past and present.
Meander along Massachusetts Street and you'll soon see why Mass. Street has been called one of America's most authentic main streets. The five-block downtown district is lined with century-old buildings, eclectic boutiques, tempting sidewalk cafes, curious antique shops and a multitude of art galleries and studios. Live music plays along the street every night of the week, from folk to jazz, rock to blues and everything in between.
On KU's scenic 950-acre campus, you will find a treasure trove of things to do and see. At the KU Natural History Museum, you will see nationally recognized exhibits, including Comanche, the only U.S. Army survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn. Benton, Chihuly, Curry, Monet, Rossetti and Wood are a few of the artists featured at the Spencer Museum of Art. With a 23-foot stained glass American flag as a backdrop, follow the path of Bob Dole from a modest home in Russell to his role as U.S. Senate Majority Leader and presidential candidate at the Dole Institute of Politics. Then spend your evening watching award-winning artists from all corners of the globe perform on stage at the Lied Center of Kansas.

“ Lawrence
Lawrence was established in 1854 by the Emigrant Aid Company, a New England organization formed to prevent the new Kansas territory from becoming a slave state. When the first legislature enacted the so-called Bogus Laws with severe penalties for opposing slavery Lawrence was the center of Free-State resistance. Free-State newspapers here further antagonized Proslavery officers. Late in 1855 1,500 Proslavery men gathered to attack the town. Free-State men came to its defense, among them John Brown. Bloodshed was averted by a “Peace Treaty.” The next spring, however, a “sheriff’s posse” of several hundred Missourians burned houses, destroyed two newspaper Presses and fired a cannon into the Eldridge Hotel on the pretext that it was an Abolition fort.
During the Civil War Lawrence was a haven for runaway slaves and was held responsible for Union raids into Missouri. On August, 21, 1863, Quantrill and a band of guerrillas ravaged the town and killed nearly 150 men. Monuments to these victims and other historical markers may be seen in the city. Lawrence is the home of the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Institute.
Erected by Kansas Historical Society and State Highway Commission. “
“ HISTORIC
PINCKNEY NEIGHBORHOOD
The Pinckney neighborhood at the bend of the Kansas River began in 1854 as part of the original Lawrence townsite. North/South streets to the west of Massachusetts St. were named for states in the order in which they were admitted to the United States. East/West streets, originally named for Revolutionary war heroes, were changed to numbers in 1913. The modern neighborhood of about 1,200 residents extends to Iowa St.
Homes, businesses, a brickyard, and brewery were located in the Pinckney Neighborhood. Today social and health agencies, including Lawrence Memorial Hospital mix with homes in the area. Three parks, Constant and Burcham Parks along the Kansas River and Clinton Park along 5th St., provide open space. The trail head for a river walk leaves Constant Park and links to Burcham Park to welcome visitors for hiking along the Kansas River. “

Lawrence: Original 1940's Otis Traction Elevator @ Lawrence General Hospital
Another elevator so special, it skips the backlog!! ENJOY!!
We ride an original 1940's Otis Traction Elevator, Lawrence Hospital, Lawrence, Massachusetts.
This was such a find! An Otis (or Otis/Sito) with original black buttons, backlit tray ceiling, lighted directional arrows both on the button panel, AND the back of the cab. Yet there's no classic leveling, and is rather bouncy in the process.
Albeit wider, and installed in the mid 1950's, THIS is what USED to stand, where the Thyssens now do, at Leominster Hospital. Quite the injustice, after watching this beauty in motion, don't you think?

Flying over Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, United States, North America
Chicago is a city in the U.S. state of Illinois, and is the third most populous city in the United States, and the most populous city in the American Midwest with over 2.8 million residents. Its metropolitan area (also called Chicagoland), which extends into Indiana and Wisconsin, is the third-largest in the United States, after those of New York City and Los Angeles, with an estimated 9.8 million people. Chicago is the county seat of Cook County, though a small portion of the city limits also extend into DuPage County. Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837, near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed. Today, Chicago is listed as an alpha+ global city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and ranks seventh in the world in the 2012 Global Cities Index. The city is an international hub for finance, commerce, industry, telecommunications, and transportation, with O'Hare International Airport being the second-busiest airport in the world in terms of traffic movements. In 2008, Chicago hosted 45.6 million international and domestic visitors. Among metropolitan areas, Chicago has the fourth-largest gross domestic product (GDP) in the world, just behind Tokyo, New York City, and Los Angeles, and ranking ahead of London and Paris. Chicago is one of the most important Worldwide Centers of Commerce and trade. Chicago's notability has found expression in numerous forms of popular culture, including novels, plays, films, songs, various types of journals (for example, sports, entertainment, business, trade, and academic), and the news media. The city has many nicknames, which reflect the impressions and opinions about historical and contemporary Chicago. The best-known include: Chi-town, Windy City and Second City. Chicago is located in northeastern Illinois on the southwestern shores of Lake Michigan. It is the principal city in Chicago Metropolitan Area situated in the Midwestern United States and the Great Lakes region. Chicago rests on a continental divide at the site of the Chicago Portage, connecting the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes watersheds. The city lies beside huge freshwater Lake Michigan, and two rivers the Chicago River in downtown and the Calumet River in the industrial far South Side flow entirely or partially through Chicago. Chicago is a world port city as the St Lawrence Seaway connects Lake Michigan with the Atlantic Ocean. The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, which runs to the west of the City, connects the Chicago River with the Mississippi River, the fourth-longest river in the world. Chicago's history and economy are closely tied to its proximity to Lake Michigan. While the Chicago River historically handled much of the region's waterborne cargo, today's huge lake freighters use the city's Lake Calumet Harbor on the South Side. The lake also provides another positive effect, moderating Chicago's climate; making waterfront neighborhoods slightly warmer in winter and cooler in summer. When Chicago was founded in 1833, most of the early building began around the mouth of the Chicago River, as can be seen on a map of the city's original 58 blocks.[72] The overall grade of the city's central, built-up areas, is relatively consistent with the natural flatness of its overall natural geography, generally exhibiting only slight differentiation otherwise. The average land elevation is 579 ft (176 m) above sea level. The lowest points are along the lake shore at 577 ft (176 m), while the highest point, at 735 ft (224 m), is a landfill located in the Hegewisch community area on the city's far south side. Chicago Half Marathon on Lake Shore Drive next to Harold Washington Park on the South Side.
The Chicago Loop is the central business district, but Chicago is also a city of neighborhoods. Lake Shore Drive runs adjacent to a large portion of Chicago's lakefront. Some of the parks along the waterfront include Lincoln Park, Grant Park, Burnham Park and Jackson Park. Thirty-three public beaches are also found along the waterfront. Landfill extends into portions of the lake providing space for Navy Pier, Northerly Island, the Museum Campus, and large portions of the McCormick Place Convention Center. Most of the city's high-rise commercial and residential buildings can be found close to the waterfront.

500 Water Street Haverhill, MA
Haverhill (/ˈheɪvrɪl/ hay-vril) is a city in Essex County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 60,879 at the 2010 census.[1]``````````Located on the Merrimack River, it began as a farming community of Puritans, largely from Newbury Plantation. The land was officially purchased from Pentucket Indians on November 15, 1642 (a year after incorporation) for three pounds, ten shillings.[2] Pentucket was renamed Haverhill and would evolve into an important industrial center, beginning with sawmills and gristmills run by water power. In the 18th and 19th century, Haverhill developed woolen mills, tanneries, shipping and shipbuilding. The town was for many decades home to a significant shoe-making industry. By the end of 1913, one tenth of the shoes produced in the United States were made in Haverhill, and because of this the town was known for a time as the Queen Slipper City. The city was also known for the manufacture of hats.....
`````````````
`````````````Higher education[edit]
The new home of the Zion Bible College, now called Northpoint Bible College. Recently,
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 35.6 square miles (92.3 km2), of which 33.0 square miles (85.4 km2) is land and 2.7 square miles (6.9 km2), or 7.47%, is water.[16] The city ranks 60th in the Commonwealth in terms of land area, and is the largest city or town in Essex County. Haverhill is drained by the Little and Merrimack rivers, the latter separating the Bradford section of town from the rest of Haverhill.---------Transportation[edit]
Haverhill lies along Interstate 495, which has five exits throughout the city. The town is crossed by five state routes, including Routes 97, 108, 110, 113 and 125. Routes 108 and 125 both have their northern termini at the New Hampshire state border, where both continue as New Hampshire state routes. Four of the five state routes, except Route 108, share at least a portion of their roadways in the town with each other. Haverhill is the site of six road crossings and a rail crossing of the Merrimack; two by I-495 (the first leading into Methuen), the Comeau Bridge (Railroad Avenue, which leads to the Bradford MBTA station), the Haverhill/Reading Line Railroad Bridge, the Basiliere Bridge (Rte. 125/Bridge St.), the Bates Bridge (Rtes. 97/113 to Groveland) and the Rocks Bridge to West Newbury, just south of the Merrimac town line. --------MBTA Commuter Rail provides service from Boston's North Station with the Haverhill and Bradford stations on its Haverhill/Reading Line. Amtrak provides service to Portland, Maine, and Boston's North Station from the same Haverhill station. Additionally, MVRTA provides local bus service to Haverhill and beyond. The nearest small-craft airport, Lawrence Municipal Airport, is in North Andover. The nearest major airport is Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in Manchester, and the nearest international airport is Logan International Airport in Boston......```George Washington visited the city on his victory tour in the 1790s, and proclaimed that Haverhill was one of the most beautiful villages. In honor of his visit, the city renamed a portion of Merrimack Street to Washington Street, and Washington Square Park was also named in his honor.`````Henry Ford acquired one of the city's historic bridge toll booths and installed it in his Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. It is thought that Ford's project was, in part, an inspiration for the historic Old Sturbridge Village in central Massachusetts. Another industrialist was so impressed with the design and elegant proportions of the White Church at the Bradford Common that he had the church measured and raised funds to have several replicas built around the United States.----------------Among the city's other notable visitors were a number of presidents, and the young Henry David Thoreau who visited the city in his professional capacity as a land surveyor in the 19th century. The painter Henry Bacon (1839--1912) was born in Haverhill.````````````````Hollywood mogul Louis B. Mayer got his start in show business by operating a chain of theaters in downtown Haverhill.`````````````````Former whaler Rowland H. Macy established his first dry goods store on Merrimack Street in 1851, on the site of the present A-1 Deli. That store was the precursor to his later Macy's stores, and he held his first Thanksgiving Day parades in downtown Haverhill.
----------Haverhill is one of the main inspirations for the comic Archie. The comic's creator, Bob Montana, lived in Haverhill and attended Haverhill High School from 1936 to 1939. He based Riverdale High School on the old high school building (which is now City Hall) and the characters Archie, Jughead, Veronica, Betty, and Reggie on his classmates from Haverhill High School.
