In what the Mayor himself acknowledged was nothing more than a measure to get media attention, he is now pushing for a 21-day State of Emergency to be called to raise public awareness of this important issue. The notion that we can solve this crisis by increasing public awareness at a time when families across our city know far too well about its devastating toll is absurd. Empty rhetoric in the face of a state-wide health crisis does nothing but put more people at risk.
This week we take a look at 23 Amherst St., the former Rex Theatre, and more recently Club Liquid bar-pit. The City of Manchester – via the affiliated Manchester Development Corporation (MDC) – has issued a Request For Proposals (RFP) to buy-develop the site. The MDC did a good thing to acquire the property and offer it for redevelopment, or else it may have deteriorated indefinitely, as it is definitely a “challenging” property. Today I offer my 2 cents.
The Manchester Historic Association (MHA) has selected five honorees for its 24th annual Historic Preservation Awards, including an award for Leadership and Advocacy for former Manchester Mayor Sylvio Dupuis.
Trump dominates the news cycle and provides plenty of fodder for editorial cartoonist Peter Noonan. Rated O for Opinionated.

McQuaid should feel embarrassed. Not only did he endorse a dishonest candidate, but that dishonest candidate has now fully embraced the guy who went out of his way to make mincemeat of McQuaid in a bitter and very public tit-for-tat battle of the egos. And in all of this, The Union Leader failed to do the one thing it’s supposed to do: Inform readers.
It’s salty and irreverent, yes – just like Election 2016! Don’t shoot the messenger; Peter Noonan just draws’em as he sees’em.
It should come as no surprise that there were 800 applicants for the 30 new homes, since the going rate was $5.50 a week — no down payment — and to be on the safe side, the association also covered the cost of a $3,000 insurance policy on the man of the house “in order to safeguard widow and children in the event that calamity befall the breadwinner before the house is fully cleared.”
Three colleagues – and three of their “wins” – are the focus of this tribute. Each win was toward a better future for their community, and was realized working alongside many others. Sadly, each of these good people left us in the past year.
