Michael Garrity was attending an invitation-only football showcase at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst this summer, but his excitement hit ground zero when the linebacker heard a pop on the second drill of the day, a pass protection coverage. He he didn’t think much of it . . . initially.

One by one, they’re disappearing.

Mr. Peanut has retired to Arizona, The Half Dollar bar has long since been leveled. The Weddings Inc. valentine heart has been broken.

Now another icon long associated with U.S. Rte. 1 will soon be nothing but a memory.
The Bel Aire diner will make way for a modern sandwich shop and other stores.

The Peabody City Council this week approved the special permit needed to allow the site to be redeveloped into a shopping plaza anchored by Red’s Sandwich Shop, a Peabody version of a well-known Salem eatery.

PEABODY – The Peabody Education Council today kicks off celebration of 25 years of working to increase excellence in city schools thorugh a variety of programs and grants.

The celebration begins with a “Back-to-School” kick-off event at the Higgins Middle School. Several raffles will be conducted and the council will be kicking off the sale of it’s new raffle calendar.

PEABODY -- For the first time in generations, students at the city’s elementary schools will be on the same page when it comes to learning to read. Literally.

Principals and teachers have been preparing through the summer months for implementation of the new “Journeys” literacy reading program, a program developed by a textbook publisher after extensive research into how children learn to read.

One focal point of the new program is to make it easier for parents to be involved in teaching their children to read.
