Reply to comment by heyhelloyuyu in Campo Enoteca to reopen on Elm Street in Manchester under new ownership by turangaziza

It was fantastic in its prime but has struggled a bit since the pandemic. I think maybe they got stretched a bit thin combining the Campo & Republic menus in one place, and probably had staffing issues like everywhere else. I've got my fingers crossed the new owners make the most of its legacy.

Reply to Areas to avoid in Manchester? by gman2391

I feel safe walking on Elm Street, and most redditors would probably consider me an old lady (although I don't!). It's generally bustling with activity and it's hard to imagine it striking fear into the hearts of so many people in this subreddit. I agree with the others who are saying there are sketchy areas, and for the most part you can tell them when you see them, but there also lots of safe, quiet neighborhoods in every direction.

Yes, Manchester has an excessive unhoused population. Individuals from all over the state and even neighboring states are sent to Manchester for assistance even though all the service providers in town are far beyond capacity. It's obnoxious and insensitive to the people in need. But this kind of thing is going on all over the country right now.

Places to check out: The Currier Museum, Dorrs Pond at Livingston Park, Boards & Brews, the Bookery, Dancing Lion Chocolate, the Foundry ... it kinda depends on your interests.

Reply to Hippo paper? by bassboat1

In Manchester there are paper copies in many locations every week. Nothing seems to have changed. Not sure about their wider distribution though.

Reply to Would you care if NH lost the first presidential primary? by GraniteGeekNH

I don't mind the attention, I think it's kind of fun. But it makes no sense to have the first primary here. NH is not representative of the U.S. population on so many levels the bellwether thing seems to be no longer. Like an income tax, though, it's political suicide to suggest that changing things might be an improvement.
