In my opinion, there is help for these people living near the courthouse and under the bridge. But, they have to want to help themselves! Give up firearms/weapons,  not use alcohol/drugs.  Until someone takes a stand, either on the city or state level, nothing is going to happen.

I am a landlady who has spent 10 years (what feels like a lifetime) running a family-owned business in the city of Manchester. Sadly, for the first time in 10 years, I’m feeling like this city and the state are suffering. The covid pandemic has wreaked havoc on all of our lives and businesses, creating an economic and humane ripple effect that needs to be acknowledged and addressed now.

Hello Manchester! Last week, I put up a Facebook post of a few places that I went to, but didn’t get to write about. So, after talking with Carol, I’ve decided to begin a new weekly-ish reporter’s notebook column looking back at my travels over the past week as well as what I might have missed and what’s coming next starting…..now.

It is hard to find anything good in the news, especially concerning medical care, in the COVID era. As a patient, there are times that I feel invisible to those around me. Harder still is the number of people I have grown to care for and found kinship with who also have CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome).

Voting ‘Yes’ on Question 1 promotes local control, enables citizens to improve school budget process

The great irony of the reaction against Question 1 is that the forces attacking it under the false claim that it would allow the Board of the School Committee to override the tax cap portray themselves, in the political arena, as advocates of local control.

I don’t have a lot of rules in my house. Ask my kids. I like to believe that common sense—as a rule itself—will govern most people, although I live with two adolescents hell-bent on proving me wrong. But the one rule I enforce: No Ouija boards in my house.
