philadelphia is also building a canal in baltimore is a competitive disadvantage.they realize they are behind for the cannot build a canal in time they want to spend money on the first passenger steam powered locomotive rail line in the world. which really was a moonshot at the time but it was untested, no one had done it did not know the steam while would work or whether it would blow up too much. they spend money they raise money publicly, they invest their ownpy money. and they do this because they know if they don't come up baltimore will fall behind. alexander is determined to see his community thrived because he believes that is necessary for his own self interest this makes them no money in fact it loses the money initially and yield some return over time. it is hardly a good investment it's judged purely in terms of shareholders. it is a great investment return to society. that is fundamentally central to the industrial revolution and to the growth of american prosperity and that is the world. that continues through time so that by the time you get the grou

as well as in the baltimore sun. i see that is really destructive. there's a there's a in baltimore. there's a kind of obsession in the media with with counting murders. it's almost like a fetish and it happens, you know. every time there's a murder and the number of murdered is often compared to the previous years count sometimes compared to the highest years count in 1993. and all this seems like very destructive and also when crime gets covered. it's you know, it's it's rolled out. it's breaking news. and there's all this urgency around it. but in fact, it's often just like a 30-second clip. it tells the neighborhood it tells like these skeletal facts of like maybe an address maybe the age of a person but nothing that ever contextualizes or humanizes of people involved or affected or the community. so this all seems really destructive i've nattered on here about how i feel like local media is crime reporting. it's like a very destructive force that perpetuates these toxic narratives. i'm curious what you think of

[video clip] guest: the reason we do this work is because we want to see students have every opportunity to succeed. and what we know, based on research, is that when parents actively choose schools and learning environments for their kids, students succeed in schools at higher rates than if parents do not actively choose those schools. it does not matter what type of school apparent chooses, just the act of going through the process and making a decision is what matters. so what we see is if a parent participates in an open enrollment program or in public charter school program or a private school or online school or magnet school or home schooling, the fact that they exercise their options and the options were available lose to higher student graduation rates, higher college acceptance rates, higher lifetime earnings, and all the other

>> it certainly did, but by that point, the baltimore office was the least significant. businesses that had already moved to new york and liverpool and the baltimore of a was kind clearinghouse for the new york. john brown also cashed out. those houses while they were led by cousins and nephews were not as important even though they survived individually gets renamed and has that future history as well but there was a moment in the beginning of the civil war at the new york house that orders the baltimore house. as most people know it ends up being occupied. in terms of the business dynamic it wasn't important enough to be the overall business by that point. >> they want to know did you get corroboration and write in the book how did you conduct your research? >> they commissioned an anniversary book that took the individual about five years from the early 60s he collates the record and after thatan and agan it's not that important but all of that research material is deposited at the new york historical society with about 140 archival boxes that for those of you that ha

he orders the baltimore house to fly union jack in the middle of the city that was confederate and baltimore is being occupied. it was definitely a tense period but as the business side all-timer was not at important enough to be in business with the brown brothers at that point. >> did you get cooperation from brown brothers and how did you conduct your research? >> i did get cooperate in but i didn't need cooperation. brown brothers commissioned a 150 anniversary book and wrote about five years from the early 60s until 1967 collates all of the firm's historical records and after that and again i don't put enough skin into it because it's not that important all of that research material by the new york historical society where it resides and for those of you who have done research barrel oral histories of love it at yale and the chairman library there's no lack of publicly available documentation. their something buried somewhere in the firm's archive that didn't get into the historical society. i saw no evidence of that was the case and frankly i wasn't that interested in trying to figure

i interned at the museum in baltimore, maryland. mutual interest and admiration got us together. i welcome bob and i will begin the presentation now. one other programming notes, so understand all presidents use trains to travel around and still do on some occasions. we picked seven presidents because of some specific issues they encountered or specific milestones that are associated with their presidential train travel. at the conclusion of the stock are going to end with a couple video presentations from the george h.w. bush funeral train courtesy of union pacific so please stick around for that to think you will enjoy that very much. there are three main i guess pieces of presidential train and travel the campaign which is prime which are most familiar with, while in office and then after the president passes away. were going to move from president to president and talk about all three of those even though it may be a little out of chronological order it would probably the best way to handle it. so bob are you there? >> wonderful thank you for joining us today. we are going to

what about southtown, baltimore? we do not know that and we need to have ready answers to those questions. sarah: you have come to the urban institute, virtual home here, sometimes the rules not only were research but actionable database information in the hands of the people locally who are making the decisions with the federal government providing the infrastructure and the scaling capacity to act on that information. it sounds like a pretty nice model here from where we sit. let us talk about one of those tools you mentioned which was opportunity zones. as you said, maybe some of the challenges we have encountered were predictable. i think, brett has done a lot of work, even at the time to suggest the tool could be better targeted. from where you sit and what your community -- where committee has found, what do you think has been the extent to lift up her potential and can we make tools now going forward and make this a more effective tool? rep. himes: i want to answer that question with some humility. the truth i

[laughter] which was a very apt nickname. it also meant nancy, the girl he became nancy pelosi was always known as little nancy. and i think she did not shed that nickname until she went away to college but maybe that's why she went away to college to not be known to everyone as little nancy. big nancy was a remarkably smart, intubated entrepreneurial woman well ahead of that's our time. pelosi told me one of the interviews i did with her for the book, that of her mother were born today she would be president. her mother wanted to go to law school. she tried to go to law school after having nancy. so at that point should six kids at home. that did not work out. she inventedy things. >> is an actual patent. >> she got patents for inventions including a device to used to give you a beautiful complexion. which is a metal device with a hole in the top. an electric coil inside. cord to the a
