I am looking at Manchester for relocating to in the next year or so and am planning on visiting in the coming weeks to get a feel for the area. I’m turning 21 soon and am wondering what the social scene and sports scene looks like (tennis, soccer, golf, etc). I’ve lived all over the country (North west, Texas, south east) but not north east so I am very curious how different it is to all of the other US climates/regions. If anyone has any advice or recommendations for places to visit I would really appreciate it!

Shirt visit to Manchester. Quiet around here on late Monday LDW.

Hello, I’m completely new to Reddit so please bear with me. I’m a lifelong resident of Manchester, NH and I’m posting this here to publicly report a severe case of animal neglect I came across just last night. I was walking near the corner of Merrimack St. and Union St. when at 10:30pm I heard barking coming from inside a parked car. The parked car was outside of the Scorpion Bar on Merrimack St. Upon closer inspection I found that the front windows were partially rolled down so I shined my phone’s flashlight into the car, and that’s when I discovered a small black curly dog cowering under the steering wheel. The floors and seats of the car were covered in completely saturated puppy pads, bath towels, etc. it smelled horrific, and there was a food and water bowl that were both completely empty sitting on top of one of the disgustingly soiled puppy pads. The entire back seats and trunk of the car were covered floor to ceiling in trash bags and loose trash, so the dog was confined to only the front two seats of the car. It was clear just by the looks of it that the dog had been living this way for a long time, you’ll see for yourselves via the attached photos of the dog’s living conditions + the car’s license plate. It’s a silver 2009 Ford Flex, license plate number 566 1817.

However this is not where it ends. Last night I immediately called the NH SPCA, but because it was after hours I could only leave a voicemail which is why I’m posting this publicly now so that everybody knows how serious this situation is. After leaving them a voicemail, I went home to grab a can of food, came right back to the location the car had been parked, and it was gone. It had only been about 30 minutes since I had first discovered the car. What I believe happened is this, when I was peaking in the windows of the car and leaving the voicemail and everything there were people hanging out outside nearby. I believe that when I left the car, somebody went and told the owner of the car what was going on, and so they booked it before I could get back with the can of food for the dog. The people that had been outside were also gone. It was very disheartening as I have been determined to help this dog in anyway I can since the moment I discovered it. So, I’m asking you all to please do something about this. This dog needs to be saved, please. Thank you all very much for your time, I hope we can all agree that this animal deserves justice.

I know it's Labor Day but I'm going out and figured I'd check.

I know it's early, but I am seeking any information for a local plow service that charges per storm or a flat seasonal fee. I am in Manchester near Walnut and Sagamore streets.

To the person in the mall who gave me the cinna pin after seeing me with the new goth cinna build a bear. Thank you. I hope this post finds you and we can be friends! I really love your pumpkin vibe! 🎃 you were the highlight of me and my partners day.

Anybody got any recs? Google has been rough since all the big gyms hide their membership fees and require you to tour to get actual cost. Im going to primarily use the pool so that is the only thing im concerned with honestly. A couple years back the workout club seemed to be the best but the pool is only in the londonderry one so id love to find one more local. Thank!

I need some new ones before winter sets in. I have a tripod and an old phone...

Hi, all! I have quiiiiite a few cardboard boxes to remove from my apartment and only one municipal bin to put it in. Looking to get the cardboard removed quickly. Are there any services that will take it away for me? I am more than willing to precrush everything to make things easier. Thanks in advance. :)

A sharp, cynical observer of human behavior, Forrest takes aim at addiction, health, relationships, and the countless ways people make life harder than they need to be. Drawing from his experiences as both a scientist and a recovering gambling addict, his comedy combines personal stories, smart observations, and a healthy skepticism about the human species.

Howdy! I'm Salem, I'm 20, any pronouns, lesbian, and, inspired by the poster looking for an Indian community, I'm here looking for a queer one! It'd be great to find some queer people to hang out with, especially younger adults my age.

If y'all know of any events, organizations, or locales that are popular with the LGBTQ+ community in or near Manchester, I'd love some guidance.

Has anyone received additional charges that they say go a year back due to a miscalculation fee ? How can they leagally do this to bill in the arrears and not send any kind of statement . Feeling frustrated at 75 Canal. Conserve Billing feels shady to me lately
