This Friday night at 7 p.m. at the “Spotlight Room” on Hanover Street, John and his trio, Divergent Strings (Wayne Hughes and Roger Ramirez), will play a wide variety of music, from classical to South American to Spanish with original pieces and fresh arrangements of rock tunes mixed in.
That’s why I got so excited when a new friend of mine named Alfredo “Fredo” Benavides from Manchester came into my life shining like a new diamond, a musician I’d never met, someone with real chops, killer instincts, a man with a real taste for the game. Fredo was more than I expected, much, much more.
I had been undecided on whom to vote for in the upcoming NH Presidential Primary on Tuesday, February 11th, until last week. As a proud Granite Stater, I take our First in the Nation status seriously by speaking to the candidates and asking hard questions. I strongly believe Elizabeth Warren is the Franklin Delano Roosevelt of our time, and she has earned my vote for president.
Craft breweries embody the entrepreneurial spirit of our state. All across New Hampshire, brewers have built businesses that are driving our economy forward. Not to mention, they’re brewing really great beer that is recognized across the country.
Laconia State School opened in the year 1903, housing 82 residents between three buildings. The Stafford County Farm fire in 1895 revealed an unexpected truth: a great many children were living in almshouses. They were impoverished. They had no family support. They were left to their own devices. These houses, colloquially called poor houses, were intended as shelters for criminals and people with mental or physical disabilities. In those days, the term “feeble-minded” was used to describe people with developmental disabilities.
I’m telling you, it’s going to be one of those nights down at Jupiter Hall on Hanover this Friday night, I can feel it. No rain, no snow or fog in the forecast. Perfect weather for kicking around downtown, breaking in the brick. Great night to drink, get fat, then walk it off.
his book shares the human side of a great man who was fearless in his assault on a life he lived so well. We are all in need of history and explanations and “what if” moments.
Perhaps most important, Joe Biden cares about people. You see it when he looks at you. You see it when he meets people. He is genuine. I’ve seen it in every campaign event or stop I’ve done with him in Manchester. It’s a quality that’s far too rare in politics, and one that we need in our elected officials.
What could be a clearer violation of moral or natural law than a man refusing to take responsibility for a child he has fathered; or a woman choosing death for her own child in the womb?
New Hampshire’s nurses have demonstrated leadership by providing novel, quality solutions to healthcare challenges for many years.
Today, on this 25th Annual MLK Day of Service, Americans across the country will honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by rolling up their sleeves and making a difference in their communities through volunteerism and service.
Noah was likely celebrating life and probably suffering survivor’s guilt, after losing so many loved ones. Family associates and neighbors all gone, along with the animals and so many other living things. His heart must have broken at times, such a time to be alive but also a time of great loss.
How do you capture the hustle and bustle, grandiosity, whimsy, and l’amour that is Paris? George Gershwin’s “American in Paris,” that’s how.
These extremes in temperature are not a bonus; rather, they are a warning that something is not right.
Like me, Elizabeth is in this fight because she cares deeply about the state of education. Between her policies for universal childcare, improving public education for all kids, and making higher ed more affordable, Elizabeth has a plan to make every stage of our education system better support our students.
If Pete can get a (formerly) 270-pound middle-aged man motivated from the couch to the convention, he can motivate America!
At a time when shrillness and discord seem to dominate politics, Manchester came together to welcome its first female mayor Joyce Craig to a second term in office yesterday.
There’s a reason the FTT tax is often referred to as a “retirement tax.” It would put a levy on trades within the 401(k)s, 403(b)s, pension funds, and other accounts that seniors rely on. This would compromise their annual earnings and make it more difficult to cover basic living expenses.
I want to believe in the American dream again. I want to live in a country where anyone who works hard has a real chance to get ahead. I want to have a President I trust will fight for me and my family. I want a nominee we all can believe in, and I believe in Elizabeth Warren.
