#CulturedPeachy @Smithsonian #BostonPeachy #BigAppleBusiness Museum of American Finance to Open Free Community Museum on Boston’s Commonwealth Pier

The Museum of American Finance, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, will open its new exhibit headquarters on Commonwealth Pier in the Boston Seaport on Friday, July 3. Admission to the 5,400 sq ft Museum will be free of charge, reflecting its core mission of making financial education accessible to all.

The Museum worked with the renowned firm G&A Strategy and Design to create world-class exhibits that draw from the Museum’s collections—while integrating the latest technologies in a partnership with the Fidelity Center for Applied Technology (FCAT). The Museum will feature seven inaugural exhibits in Boston:“America in Circulation,” an interactive currency exhibit featuring hundreds of the most beautiful and interesting examples of American money, on loan from the collection of Mark R. Shenkman
“Alexander Hamilton Experience,” featuring a multilingual AI-generated Hamilton, developed in partnership with FCAT
“A Financial Revolution,” bringing to life the founding of the US financial system, to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary
“Investing in US Financial History,” a six-station interactive timeline enabling visitors to take a deeper dive into the history of the US financial markets, from the 18th century through today
“Hub of Innovation,” on the role Massachusetts has played in the nation’s financial development (sponsored by MassMutual)
“The Future of Finance,” on the worlds of blockchain, crypto, tokenization and the evolution of financial technology (sponsored by Bitwise)
“Personal Finance,” a hands-on exploration of the tools needed to achieve and maintain a healthy financial life, presented by the Personal Finance Institute

The exhibits were guest curated by some of the nation’s leading experts in finance, economics and numismatic history, including Rahul Arora, Ric Edelman, Mark Higgins and Richard Sylla. The lead sponsors are Fidelity Investments, Bitwise, MassMutual, and Rosalind E. and Mark R. Shenkman, as well as founders John E. Herzog and the Rodney S. Klein Stock Market Museum & Library.

“We are thrilled that our opening in Boston coincides with our nation’s 250th anniversary, as our exhibits will give school groups, tourists and the local community an opportunity to view the country’s founding financial documents, many of which have never before been on public display,” said MoAF President David Cowen. “Visitors will leave our Museum with a greater understanding and appreciation for our nation’s financial history—much of it centered in the Boston Harbor area—as well as knowledge that will help them better their own financial lives.”

In 2025, the Museum announced it had signed a 10-year lease for exhibit space at Commonwealth Pier, the waterfront destination in Boston’s Seaport being developed by Pembroke, the international real estate business.

"We are delighted to welcome a free museum with an important educational mission to Commonwealth Pier—improving financial literacy,” said Kristan McLaughlin, Director, Customer Experience and Asset Operations at Pembroke. “The Museum’s focus on American financial history complements Commonwealth Pier’s historic ties to Boston’s maritime and commercial legacy, and its mission furthers our commitment to creating a new waterfront destination designed for exploration and connection."

The Museum’s opening in Boston marks the first time it will have a permanent exhibit headquarters since it left its former home at 48 Wall Street in New York City in 2018. Founded in 1989, the Museum has a 37-year track record of creating engaging, state-of-the-art exhibits in New York and around the country, with traveling exhibits and temporary installations bringing its collections to national audiences since the closing of its Wall Street space. Its rich archive spans the entirety of American finance and houses one of the nation’s most important collections of 18th century US financial documents, including multiple letters and documents from Alexander Hamilton that established the basis for the US financial system.

The Museum’s events and educational initiatives—offered for free in both virtual and in-person formats—currently reach more than 10,000 students and adults annually. The Museum will add Boston-based programs via partnerships with Boston area community organizations and educational institutions to supplement its existing programming.

#CruisingPeachy #HistoryPeachy The 1965 Ford Mustang America Fell in Love with Inducted into National Historic Vehicle Register

Hagerty Drivers Foundation Welcomes 1965 Ford Mustang Magic Skyway Car into the National Historic Vehicle Register as Nation Marks 250th Celebration

The Hagerty Drivers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to preserving automotive culture and history, today announced the induction of a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible as the 38th vehicle added to the National Historic Vehicle Register (NHVR). The announcement coincides with the opening of Ford Motor Company's "Driving America Forward" exhibit at Union Station in Washington, D.C., where the car is on public display through July 14.


The 1965 Ford Mustang America Fell in Love with Inducted into National Historic Vehicle Register

The vehicle, a Wimbledon White convertible, is one of 23 Mustangs that carried visitors through the Ford Pavilion's legendary Magic Skyway attraction at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair. Fitted with special undercarriage rigging and pulled along a cable track, this Mustang traveled an estimated 5,000 miles over six months, transporting approximately 40,000 passengers through a Disney-designed journey from prehistoric times into the space age - all without burning a drop of fuel. It is one of only a handful of Magic Skyway Mustangs known to survive, and among the finest restored examples.

"The 1965 Mustang display at the World's Fair wasn't just a car launch, in many ways it was the launch of an entire generation," said McKeel Hagerty, Chairman of Hagerty and the President of the Board of Directors of the Hagerty Drivers Foundation. "This particular car carried tens of thousands of enthusiasts into the future at the most celebrated exhibition of its era. Its story belongs to all Americans, and there is no better moment to make that official than America's 250th birthday."

This 1965 Ford Mustang, VIN 5F08T383386, is owned by Sam Pack of Texas and was treated to a careful restoration in 2015 that preserved its original components, including its factory 200 cubic inch inline-six engine and three-speed, Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The Hagerty Drivers Foundation is currently completing the full NHVR documentation package - including laser scanning, professional photography, and a written historic report - in partnership with the U.S. Department of the Interior's Historic American Engineering Record (HAER). The documentation will be permanently archived in the Library of Congress as HAER No. TX-3410. The documentation is underwritten by Ford Motor Company.

"Ford is honored to document this historic milestone in our heritage as part of the America 250 celebration. Ford put America on wheels, and the Mustang is the soul of that legacy," said Ted Ryan, Heritage Brand Manager and Archivist at Ford. "Its induction into our nation's library ensures that the Mustang's rich cultural impact will inspire generations to come."

"The Mustang is one of America's most beloved automobiles, and this car represents its very birth - unveiled not in a showroom, but on the grandest stage imaginable, carrying tens of thousands of people through a vision of the future at the New York World's Fair," said Casey Maxon, Director of Heritage, Hagerty Drivers Foundation. "It was an immediate, undeniable hit. The public didn't just notice the Mustang, they fell in love with it on the spot. As we mark 250 years of American history, it's worth remembering that for nearly half of that history, the automobile has been woven into the fabric of this country's identity. What better way to honor that legacy than with this Mustang convertible, one of the most iconic enthusiast cars ever produced."

The Magic Skyway Mustang is featured in the "Shaping Pop Culture" chapter of Ford's Driving America Forward exhibit, displayed in an illuminated glass case among artifacts from Ford's Heritage Archive. The exhibit spans seven themed chapters and is free to the public at Union Station through July 14, 2026.

The National Historic Vehicle Register documents and records vehicles of significant importance in American history and culture. Documentation of each vehicle is a partnership between the Hagerty Drivers Foundation and the U.S. Department of the Interior's Historic American Engineering Record, and is permanently archived in the Library of Congress.

As part of festivities surrounding the 2026 Upper Deck NHL Draft, members of the NHL Player Inclusion Coalition joined youth participants from the Resource Council of Western New York today to announce a $20,000 grant to the All STARS Youth Ice Hockey Program. The grant will support the continued growth of the Buffalo-based initiative, which uses hockey to empower youth from underserved communities, by expanding program capacity by more than 30% while reinforcing the program’s mission to develop leaders on and off the ice.

Based on Buffalo’s East Side, the Resource Council of WNY’s All STARS Youth Ice Hockey Program helps make hockey more accessible to children and families who may not otherwise have the opportunity to participate. Through free equipment, transportation, ice time, meals, coaching, mentorship, and year-round programming, the initiative creates a welcoming environment where young people ages 8–14 can build skills, confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging—on the ice and in the community.

“Hockey has been a transformative and positive force for the kids we serve – not just because they have fallen in love with the game, but also because the game teaches life lessons that extend far beyond the ice,” said Catherine M. Roberts, President and CEO of RCWNY. “With this gift from the NHL PIC, we look forward to welcoming more kids into the All Stars Youth Ice Hockey Program, and we celebrate the incredible memories that were made today with role models from the coalition.”

The Buffalo Sabres, through the Sabres Foundation, have a long-standing relationship with RCWNY and have committed upwards of $2 million since 2015 to support the organization’s work to uplift and enrich the Buffalo community.

The NHL PIC is a group of current and former NHL players and women's professional hockey players who work to advance inclusion in hockey, on and off the ice. At today’s event, the NHL PIC was represented by Blake Bolden, Julie Chu, Anson Carter, Mark Fraser, Jordan Harris, Georges Laraque, Al Montoya, Anthony Stewart, and P.K. Subban. The NHL PIC continues to grow as the Sabres’ own Beck Malenstyn and Penguins’ Connor Dewar recently joined the membership.

“Every kid deserves a chance to experience the joy of hockey and the vibrant community surrounding it,” said Anson Carter. “Since the NHL PIC first formed, we’ve been so inspired by the energy that new hockey players bring to the sport, and we remain committed to reaching out and fostering a culture where everyone can thrive.”

Since 2023, the NHL PIC has awarded nearly $500,000 USD in community grants. Funding for the grants is provided through the NHL Player Inclusion Coalition Action Fund, which was established to empower players to support grassroots programs that welcome and engage new hockey audiences.

This season, several NHL PIC members hosted activations, including Boston Bruins defenseman Jordan Harris, who launched the new mentorship program Harris’ Huskies; Montreal Victoire forward Abby Roque, who hosted 50 girls from Kahnawake First Nation at a PWHL game; and NHL alumnus J.T. Brown, who launched Compass Clinics, a program for 14U and 12U Jr. Kraken players as they continue along their developmental pathway. Anson Carter joined 28 kids on the ice with Durham Regional Police Service’s free learn-to-play hockey program, an NHLPA Goals & Dreams recipient. The NHL PIC also took a leading role in acknowledging hockey trailblazers, from organizing an educational panel and celebration in honor of Willie O’Ree’s 90th birthday to hosting a special clinic for elite girls’ hockey players in honor of Angela James’ storied career.

Tomorrow, members of the NHL PIC will join a community hockey clinic co-hosted with top prospects from the 2026 NHL Draft. The clinic will feature youth players from the Buffalo Sabres Learn to Play Program, as well as participants from Hasek’s Heroes, an organization dedicated to removing financial barriers and creating opportunities for children to experience the game of hockey.

#PatrioticPeachy #PeachyDeegan @ManhattanPeachy #asks @Grok : How did the USA get red white and blue as the national colors?

Grok the AI by Elon Musk on X, says:

The United States adopted red, white, and blue as its national colors primarily through the design of its official flag, adopted by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. These colors were not chosen for entirely new symbolic reasons at the time of adoption but were carried over from British colonial heritage and practical considerations.

The 1777 Flag Resolution
The Second Continental Congress passed this resolution (the only official document defining the flag at the time):
“Resolved, That the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.”No specific meanings were assigned to the colors in this resolution. The design specified 13 alternating red and white stripes (for the original 13 colonies) and a blue canton (upper left corner) with 13 white stars.

Where the Colors Came From:
 British Influence and Predecessor Flags
The red, white, and blue palette was inherited from Britain. The American colonies had long used British flags and ensigns, and red/white/blue were prominent in British heraldry (from the flags of England, Scotland, and Ireland that combined into the Union Jack).
The immediate predecessor to the official U.S. flag was the Grand Union Flag (also called the Continental Colours or Continental Union Flag), used from late 1775 to 1777. It featured 13 alternating red and white stripes with the British Union Jack in the canton. George Washington raised it on January 1, 1776, during the Siege of Boston. This flag symbolized the colonies’ unity while still acknowledging their British ties before full independence.


Grand Union Flag (Continental Colours) — the flag used by American forces early in the Revolutionary War, directly bridging British and American designs.When the new nation needed a flag without the British Union Jack after independence, Congress kept the familiar red and white stripes and added a blue field with stars. The colors were readily available as dyes/pigments at the time, and they maintained visual continuity with colonial flags.
For comparison, here is the historical composition of the British Union Jack (which influenced the canton of the earlier American flag):
The Official Symbolism (Added in 1782)While the 1777 resolution gave no meanings, Charles Thomson (Secretary of the Continental Congress) provided the now-standard interpretation in 1782 when describing the design of the Great Seal of the United States. He explicitly tied the colors to the flag:
“The colours of the pales [stripes] are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the colour of the Chief signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice.”
These meanings have been widely accepted ever since and are commonly cited today (sometimes with slight wording variations, such as “valor and bravery” for red).

A Popular but Apocryphal Quote
You may have seen this quote attributed to George Washington:
“We take the stars from heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her, and the white stripes shall go down to posterity representing liberty.”
It is not historically verified. It does not appear in Washington’s writings or contemporary records and first surfaced in print decades after his death (around 1902–1905). While it nicely captures the spirit of the design, historians consider it apocryphal.

How It Became America’s National Colors
The flag design evolved (stars added for new states, arrangement standardized later), but the red/white/blue color scheme remained constant.
Over time, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries, these colors became deeply associated with American identity, patriotism, and national symbols beyond just the flag (e.g., in seals, uniforms, and celebrations).
Official U.S. government sources today describe the colors with Thomson’s meanings.
In short, the U.S. got red, white, and blue as its national colors because they were the familiar, practical colors from its British colonial past—refined into a new flag design in 1777 that symbolized independence while retaining visual and cultural continuity. The deeper symbolic meanings were formalized a few years later and have endured ever since. Flag Day is still celebrated on June 14 in honor of that 1777 resolution.

Putting this on makes you feel like magic was sprinkled in your dressing room.
You have become the tour de force of the Lise Charmel creative team in slipping into this set.
Every last detail is sublime, and on you it's even more incredible.
Ever since 1946, Lise Charmel has endeavored to embody luxury in the intimate feminine form.
We adore the shade for summer especially, and it is a stunner against your tan, which of course was made fashionable by Coco Chanel.
Nymphe Blue Lagoon embodies elegance with every detailed stitch of embroidery that brings a higher level of nuance to your lingerie collection.
Previously, Dressing Floral in Dressing Solaire Earned Our Highest Recommendation, and when the bar is set this high, the sky is the limit for this iconic French brand from the city of Lyon.
Every pose, every angle, and every curve in your possession is celebrated.
This style is the ne plus ultra of the Lise Charmel line right now.
The Demi Cup Details:
3/4 Soft cup bra with underwire. 
Designed with angled and vertical seams for optimum lift and rounder shape.
Cups in embroidered tulle, adorned at the neckline with a scalloped guipure flower. 
The wide tulle basque provides optimal comfort. 
The upper center gore is enhanced by a striking rhinestone jewel.

And as a side note: it's every girl's dream to grow up and meet a man from Paris that was born to design shoes for her.
Sadly, he passed away but we are so happy to talk to Jeff Levy his partner all the time and Jeff has retired from the business.
So if you ask Peachy what her favorite pair of Paul Mayer attitude shoes are the answer is basically all of them.  And he was singularly influential in forming our early fashion opinions with his French savoir faire.  Also it didn't hurt that he was also a huge hockey enthusiast, which is where Peachy picked up French in the first place (Thanks Andre!).
Although we just started wearing this lingerie, figuring out what our favorite is is us very similar problem to deciding which pair of Paul Mayers is the one; however our initial feeling is that this Nymphe Bleue is Peachy's favorite.
The ethereal shade, the spectacular fit and the perfect craftsmanship make this showstopper our favorite today by Lise Charmel.

"Part of our Spring Summer 26 collection, this line is Inspired by the beauty of an ocean landscape in Oceania, the NYMPHE BLEUE collection evokes a femininity of fluid and airy elegance. Bathed in light, it reveals a luminous blue with soft crystalline nuances, like the gentle caress of water against the skin. Upon delicately sheer tulle, Azalea flowers come to life with grace through subtle contrasts and shimmering highlights, creating a vibrant dialogue with the skin. A sensory journey where floral artistry meets exceptional craftsmanship."

About Lise Charmel:
Lyon, the French city known worldwide for its centuries-old silk industry, is home to the lingerie house Lise Charmel, which was founded there over 40 years ago by Jacques Daumal. There, its ateliers have been perfecting and celebrating the art of fine underpinnings with remarkable attention to craftsmanship and detail, such as laser-cut embroidery and soft, multithread tulle. What's more, the many corsets, bras, bodysuits, and panties showcase the brand's elevated points of reference—including jewelry and fine art. Each pattern and design is created entirely in-house—including the fan-like scrolls found throughout the collection. Look to Lise Charmel for beauty that doesn't compromise on softness, perfect fit, and firm support. Bras in styles from push-up to demi and more are offered in band sizes 32 to 38, with cups from A to E.
When Lenny Kravitz said American woman stay away from me, in our mind she couldn't have been wearing this line from Lise Charmel available at Bergdorf Goodman. These exact items are available now there.
