Seems Bill Power is actually the superhero HISTORY MAN as he swoops in and saves the day yet again! His intervention in the demolition of one of Peabody's older structures means that not only will this building be saved from a developers backhoe, but the Peabody Historical Society will have yet another building to add to their collection! Way to go Bill!

Sounds delicious! Where do we get in line?

And finally a letter to the editor...
