    Manchester Infill & Small Developments

    OK, this comment/question goes beyond just Manchester and NH. http://www.unionleader.com/article/20111026/NEWS15/710269967/-1/news02 Are they really looking to build yet another Walmart? Will the close the old S. Willow Walmart and keep the super center open? There is already a Walmart in...

    Manchester Infill & Small Developments

    Was just looking into BRT, and was wondering if it is a cheaper alternative to street cars. As a street car would require a track and track maintenance and I am assuming a car would cost more than a bus. However these buses have predefined easy to see stops and runs and if they are brightly...

    Manchester Infill & Small Developments

    There has been talk about arms park, but here is an article I found about UNHM's possible expansion in the future. http://www.nhbr.com/businesseducation/666058-272/story.html I went here for Freshman year, it is a nice school. That parking lot though behind the school kills me. It is not...

    Biking in New Hampshire

    Yeah, the Minute man trail is very nice. It is an example of a well maintained and developed trail. Your point about Manchester being compact is quite true. This makes the city good for alternative travel (street cars, bikes, foot, and bus) however, the city needs much work before it is ideal...

    Biking in New Hampshire

    No idea. I have not heard of this trail until now. Ultimately, all trails should lead to somewhere, and that is the problem they have now. They just end in random spots. It really should go through Nashua. I looked into that trail and it looks fairly nice. Something else I noticed, many of...

    Biking in New Hampshire

    Yeah you can post, I don't mind. Feel free to edit or change anything that I wrote up as I typed it fast and there may be some typos or it might be worded funny. I have some photos, my friend took, I will try to get them. I did not ride that trail next to Precourt park. I would have to ride...

    Biking in New Hampshire

    OK, so I am not a huge, biker, but I do bike more than most. Primarily casually on trails and paths and stuff. Not really into biking along roads but I want to get a bike for that. I decided to make a post on here as my want to talk about biking doesn't really fit elsewhere yet. Anyways a...

    Manchester's West Side

    Imagine what could be done if the US stops dumping money we do not have into the wars and invested it into our own country. However I do think 293 needs some work, but transit needs to simultaneously be improved. Side note, doesn't really have to do with Manchester, but the parking lot near...

    Manchester's West Side

    http://www.unionleader.com/article/20110930/NEWS15/709309949 I found this. Again, only-in-print... The exits up past granite street are awful. Exit 6, it is messy, takes up too much room, and is confusing. 101 and 293 and south river road exits are very confusing too. I still screw up on there.

    Manchester's West Side

    There has been talk about a 293 widening and upgrade. I think it was on here that someone stated that they hate going to Manchester because of 293 having horrible exits. Actually it may have been somewhere else, but either way, someone said it.

    Windham/Salem Exit 3 on 93

    Well, the construction of the building off of Exit three has begun, across the street the one floor building has been renovated, no tenants yet. New Exit 3 off-ramp going southbound is open and much safer. And lastly, this could go in a few other threads, but it has to do with 93, the Boston...

    Manchester's West Side

    Does not look promising. There is little - no talk about the actual style of development being suburban vs. more urbanized. It sounds like they are more concerned about getting it built NOW rather than waiting. Of course it has been for sale for two years with little interest because our economy...

    Manchester Infill & Small Developments

    Well, I hope you are right about the alderman, because I agree, a state run liquor store is not bad. And I think that the "downtown area" should include more variety in its stores, and the city needs to do its part to attract more variety. Right now it is barber, salons, restaurants, pizza, and...

    Manchester Infill & Small Developments

    Why is the Alderman Phil Greazzo against the liquor store? Is it for the same reasons we are here, or is taking the superficial side where "alcohol is bad?"

    Manchester Infill & Small Developments

    Well, since the only person who really seems to get access to the print is in Cambridge, scan it in once you can.

    Manchester Infill & Small Developments

    Anyone know what's up with the potential suburban style liquor store on Granite St? I think there was some meeting about it early this month or late last. Anyone attend that? And as an FYI, that Chili Competition is going on this in two weekends Oct. 1st and 2nd. and the prior Fri. Then Oct...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    I can get there faster from Salem NH than it would take on train from Boston to CC. Would this involve stopping at each stop prior to the Cape? If so, an easy way to cut the time would be have limited trains run to the Cape, but have them not stop until they get to the Cape. SO don't stop all...

    Manchester to Boston HSR

    Living in Salem, it has to stop there for shopping purposes. But I agree, too many stops. I see Salem (Exit 2), Londonderry (Exit 4), then Manchester near airport then to downtown. Lawrence, Reading and then no stops till Boston. Reason is they already have a train where it is close enough to...
