• The ManchVegas Roller Girls

  I've been wondering about the newest thing in sports, Roller Derby, a sport which is really not so new at all, and the group known as the ManchVegas Roller Girls.

• Josh, the camel that climbed Mount Washington

  I have been so busy that I forgot to tell you that I recently met a local celebrity. That's right. I met Josh, the camel that climbed Mount Washington!

• Patronizing your local Farmers' Market

  Everytime I even think about heading over to the Bedford Farmers' Market on a Tuesday afternoon, the sky begins to threaten. Last week it got so angry, the skies literally opened up like the Great Flood was here. I suspected that the farmers, not Read More...

• Extreme Makeover: Manchester to air

  The day we've all been waiting for is almost here. No, I'm not talking about Van Halen at the Verizon Wireless Arena.

• The Pine Grove Christmas tree?

  I have to say it. I'm a little disturbed that the Parks Department felt that it was okay to pluck a perfectly spry spruce tree from a cemetery - yes, a cemetery - to use as a Christmas tree in downtown Manchester. Not just any cemetery, mind you, Read More... Posted Thursday, December 13, 2007 12:52 PM by NHLife | 0 Comments Filed under: Christmas, Manchester, cemetery, tree

• Entertainment in the city; who would you like to see?

  I was at the very first concert that was performed at the Verizon Wireless Arena in November 2001.

• Oprah-Obama drama; coming to a town near you

  I hear Oprah's coming to town. This is a treat. I'll bet she has never set foot in our tiny little state. She'll most certainly draw more attention than all of the Presidential candidates combined. It's fun to watch New Hampshire get all Read More... Posted Monday, November 26, 2007 1:23 PM by NHLife | 4 Comments Filed under: Manchester, Political, Obama, Oprah, Politics, Presidential Primary
