Manchester's not THAT bad, despite what people say, especially compared to big cities.

Generally avoid the tree streets (east of Elm St), especially at night if you're by yourself. Avoid the parks if you're by yourself. Watch out for homeless encampments.

What kind of job did you get?

you'll be able to tell! elm st is fun obvi. it's not scary here hahaha

I'm not from Manchester. But if you read a few issues of The Union Leader with a map of the city handy, some obvious patterns will present themselves.

No place in Manchester is that bad, in my experience, but the worst areas IMO are

New Horizons on Manchester and Pine.

Walsh Ave. on the west side.

Stanton Park.

Check out pawtuckaway. Its right up the road from Manch and its a great place to hike. As for the city itself... you'll know where to avoid by counting how many needles are on the ground.

I will say that you should try and catch a Fisher Cats game in the summer, they're a good time if you like baseball and it's like $10 for a ticket.

I think anyone from any state who does this is weird lol

Thank you, this is fully what I am expecting. Just hoping to find a real response or 2 mixed in

Every state sub in New England does this to some extent.

The MA and Boston subs shit on CT and RI drivers, with occasional commentary on trucks with NH plates. The ME sub shits on every vehicle with a plate that isn’t ME.

I can't help you since I'm not all that familiar with Manchester, but prepare yourself for maybe one serious answer here and a bunch of people telling you to avoid it completely.

That's easy. Tree streets.

Imaginary lines are serious business on this sub.

Fascinating…

I can’t speak for anyone but myself. I’m not against anyone moving here, from any State. It’s just a word association and everyone knows it’s 99% related to driving habits, not a personal attack. I know MA people who call themselves Massholes. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I understand the joke, I just don't think it's that amusing and find it weird how many NH people are like...vehemently against any non-NH people being in the state.

Seriously? Because if you’ve lived in Southern NH for a very long time, you’re used to the massive influx of MA plates EVERYWHERE. It’s become a joke that you hear “Masshole” in your head when you see a MA plate.

Maybe it's because I've only lived in NH for two years and come from MA, but I've never once had an urge to do anything like this lmao. Who the fuck cares what state they're from?

My husband is from MA and often refers to it as Massive Two Shits. He really hates it there.

He's in a cement bag under Giants stadium

I'll raise you... watch the documentary "King of Kong", and then go to Funspot. We did this last winter - that game is very hard! So fun

Biden is going to wear a tan suit.

I’d like to see what actual poverty outcomes look like. Are NHers overall worse off than Mainers or Vermonters because we have a lower minimum wage? Do citizens in states with higher minimum wages have better financial outcomes overall?

AFAIK, NH has among the lowest or the lowest poverty rates in the nation, and as another poster already commented, almost no one makes minimum wage. My McD’s down the street is offering $15+ to start. I just don’t see the need for the state to do anything about it, but I’m also not married to the idea.

"When I hear the word 'culture', that's when I reach for my revolver"

The comment is often attributed to the Nazi leader Hermann Goering, but the origin of the line is found in the 1933 play Schlageter by the German dramatish Hanns Johst.

Modern version; "When I hear the word 'culture', that's when I reach for my checkbook"
