Wow – what a week we had last week. So many people came to our little neck of the woods to experience Newburyport, our beautiful downtown and river and yes, Yankee Homecoming. The weather also cooperated as well. We were blessed. We are also happy to report that Newburyport has been in the news as well. I just finished reading the August edition of Boston Magazines “Best of Boston 2010” issue and Newburyport was front and center in the Best of Suburbs section. Also, the Concord NH Monitor newspaper ran a recent story on Newburyport as well.
