Reply to comment by Ozymandias0007 in TIL Margaret Knight (1838-1914) invented a machine to mass produce flat-bottomed paper bags and, after winning a lawsuit against a fraudster who copied her design, the patent was issued in 1871. Her first invention was when she was 12 years old (and began working in a factory). She had 87 patents. by WonderWmn212

Fun fact: the same mill complex where she became an inventor at age 12, now houses the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) organization. FIRST runs FIRST LEGO League and Robotics competitions, run by prolific inventor Dean Kamen, to encourage kids to build robots, become inventors and try to solve the world's problems. It's a cool program.

She is celebrated at the Millyard Museum in Manchester, New Hampshire. There is a display of her first patent, safety device for the loom.

They have "make art with our artist in residence" activities at the Currier museum of art. The SEE Science center will be too young for your 12 year old, but your 7 year old may enjoy it. Your 12 year old might enjoy the giant Lego millyard there though. The Millyard Museum is about the history of Manchester. I recommend it to anyone new to the city because it gives a good understanding of where we came from and how we got here...and the significance of the Millyard.

fisher cats baseball games will be starting up soon.

Try disc golf with the kids at the courses near Pine Grove cemetery in the southern part of the city. Visit breakin chains off south willow street for instructions and discs.

Reply to Cafe Momo? by flyeaglesfly777

I personally love Momo, but it sounds like others have had mixed experiences there. I've also heard good things about this place, but haven't been there. If you go, let us know what you think: https://annapurnahouse.com

Also, El Rincon just opened a place down the street at 931 Elm called Alas de Frida that I believe is suppose to be elevated El Rincon.

She’s a good Mayor. She had some stumbles in her first term, it took her a bit to get up to speed. The foundation she’s built during her time will mean solid growth and stability for the city for years. It wasn’t fancy or showy business for the cameras, but it was the work that needed to be done for a city of our size and potential.

Pine Grove Cemetery. I know it’s a cemetery, but it’s big, has paved/plowed roads, and a natural esthetic with big trees and a pond bordered mostly by woods.
However, the other suggestions already made would be my first choices.

Reply to Looking to take my 4 year old out for a fun day in southern NH. She enjoys food and anything that lets her play. Any suggestions? by NamingIssue

McIntyre ski Hill in Manchester for tubing/skiing in the morning. Lunch at the Puritan Backroom. SEE Science Center for afternoon fun. They have a bunch of fun stuff, but they also just have a big Lego table if you need quieter play. Before you leave town, head to Dancing Lion for some Mayan Drinking Chocolate or The Bookery, both on Elm St.

The self guides are helpful to answer questions as well. https://nhlegalaid.org/self-help-guides/housing/evictions

Edit: One of the biggest area of concerns right now is landlords using a renovation eviction as a legal way to remove long time tenants. There’s really no recourse for a tenant. https://read.nhbr.com/nh-business-review/2022/03/25/#?article=3951313
