    PHILADELPHIA in the 1850'S As Described by British Travelers

    PHILADELPHIA IN THE 1850'S As Described by British Travelers By IVAN D. STEEN* D`URING the 1850's, Philadelphia, like most American cities, grew considerably in population. On the eve of the Civil War the Quaker City could boast of having well over half a million inhabitants, making it second only to New York among the cities of the United States.' But what kind of city was Phila- delphia, and what could it offer to its residents and its visitors? Some of the answers may be found in the accounts written by British visitors to the city during this decade. Travelers, then as now, were concerned about their accom- modations at the various stops in their tours. When visiting a large American city Englishmen usually took up residence at one of the spacious and magnificent hotels which they found there. These havens for weary travelers were more than just resting places; they were actually among the most interesting sights on the tour. American hotels, in their size and lavishness, and in the many services they offered to their guests, were completely un- like the type of hostelries that Englishmen had encountered in their own country. In Philadelphia the Girard House, a good-looking sandstone building, located on fashionable Chestnut Street, was the pre- ferred hotel among British visitors. It was here that William Makepeace Thackeray chose to reside while in Philadelphia in 1853.2 Most travelers thought highly of the Girard House. B. W. A. Sleigh, in 1852, called it "one of the most elegant estab- lishmernts in the States," and the next year William Chambers referred to it as being "of the first class."3 Similar comments were *Dr.

    Director of Public Health- Linda Beers, MPH News Release October 16, 2020 For Immediate Release For More Information: Andrea Whitmarsh, Public Information Officer 518-873-3546│[email protected] Lee House Cluster Grows – 5 Additional Cases Identified Following Testing Event Elizabethtown, NY. Essex County Health Department is reporting 5 additional cases associated with the initial cluster of COVID-19 cases in residents of the Lee House Apartments in Port Henry; town of Moriah. This brings the total cases to 9. This cluster includes people that live within and outside the Lee House Apartments. Yesterday, the ECHD and staff from the Essex County Office of Emergency Services offered a testing event from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. near the Lee House Apartments for residents and individuals known to be or potentially exposed. The five additional cases were identified from 38 individuals swabbed, with the NYS Wadsworth Laboratory processing and reporting results to the health department in under 24 hours. Two additional cases unrelated to the Lee House cluster were also reported to ECHD on Friday. “The Health Department has spoken with all new cases today to issue isolation orders, conduct case investigations, and determine contacts that might be at risk of exposure,” stated Linda Beers, Director of Public Health for the department. “This uptick in cases we’re experiencing is not unique to Essex County and is an important reminder of how opportunistic this virus is when we let down our guard,” cautioned Beers. “We’re finding that even smaller, indoor family gatherings, really fuels the spread of this virus.

    Vision Zero Action Plan 2025 Lorem Ipsum November 2020

    Vision Zero Action Plan 2025 Lorem ipsum November 2020 City of Philadelphia 1 Letter from the Mayor James F. Kenney Fellow Philadelphians, Over the past three years, the Vision Zero Task Force has brought state and local government officials side-by-side with community and advocacy groups to work towards a goal of zero traffic deaths. Building on that progress, the Task Force has outlined Philadelphia’s path forward to Vision Zero in this next Five-Year Action Plan. These efforts build on the establishment of the Office of Complete Streets, as well as the work of my colleagues in City Council and the State Legislature, who have championed efforts towards making the streets safer. Our accomplishments this past three years include the installation of automated speed cameras on Roosevelt Boulevard, the addition of over 37 miles of new and upgraded bike lanes, including over 10 miles of protected bike lanes, and over 58 miles of improved streets. This year, a combination of the global pandemic, an escalating economic recession, and unrest tied to systemic racism and police brutality have all taken a toll on Philadelphia. We have also seen a dramatic increase in traffic deaths. The month of July 2020 was the worst single month during my administration as 24 Philadelphians lost their lives in crashes. These deaths are unacceptable and preventable. When I took office in 2016, I pledged my commitment to making Philadelphia streets safe for everyone, regardless of age, physical ability, or choice of transportation. The path to achieving Vision Zero is not accomplished easily and Zero traffic deaths by 2030.
