Lynn - Salem

After the ownership of Fay's heirs, The Fay Estate in Lynn, Peabody and Salem was divided.  There was lack of interest in developing the area until The Great Salem Fire of June 25, 1914.  Many homeless Salem residents rebuilt their new home just over the line in Lynn, in a new residential neighborhood of the Fay Estate.  Many of the people living in the area today have grandparents that were survivors of The Great Salem Fire.  Ironic how life is...  I've heard several people say that Salem Mayor Driscoll is a Lynn girl(?).  Not to disrespect a hardworking person, but there is nothing wrong if it is so.

An original Lynn girl is pushing a scheme to negatively impact the neighborhood of original Salem families?  Isn't it odd for history to be able to reverse the table?   Maybe it will influence a good story book someday?

Many people do not care where one is from to be liked or heard. 

I wish everyone's homes mattered, including the wildlife that live in these woods.
