is Manchester the Brockton of NH?[views:6938][posts:33]_________________________________________ [Sep 19,2007 10:28pm - brad weymouth ""] i need to find a cheaper place to live, i found a 3 bedroom for 900 in Manchester. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 19,2007 10:34pm - the_reverend ""] I guess you could say that. tell me what street it's on and I'll tell you if it's a good place or not. there are definitely parts that I don't walk around in after dark. |
| _________________________________________ [Sep 19,2007 10:40pm - brad weymouth ""] forget it then, i dont want my daughter growing up there if it's anything like Brockton. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 19,2007 10:43pm - vein_water ""] NH is nothing like Mass no matter what people say. NH is tame. Nashua is worse than manchester if you ask me, |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 19,2007 11:02pm - the_reverend ""] wow, that place looks like the bomb for $900 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geoc...031326,0.04961&z=14&iwloc=addr&om=1 it it's east of maple, it should be fine. As you get closer to pine street, it turns shitty. funny, pine st in nashua is terrible and pine st in manchester is too. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 19,2007 11:14pm - vein_water ""] I have lived in nashua for 25 years and have seen its downfall. Its okay my new place is great. We have a mexican food market with good fruit and food, plus an amazing variety of hispanic beers and alcohol right next door. But yes Pine Street in nashua is great. You can buy crack at anytime you want :-) if thats your deal. |

Nashua is worse than manchester if you ask me, Agreed, if you're looking for a 3 bedroom in Massachusetts even the shitty areas you're looking at a minimum of $1,100.00 |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 7:50am - brad weymouth ""] im paying 1200$ for a 2 bedroom, no utilities except for water, but the water heater is run by electricity |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 8:22am - the_reverend ""] where? nashua? if you can find out the address of the place on lowell st, I can give you more detail. the east end of lowell st is white suburbs. the west end is next to downtown and trashy. As you go up the hill it gets better and better (though radio reception gets worse and worse). |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 8:28am - the_reverend ""] how old is your daughter now? her elementary school: http://www.mansd.org/mcdonough/index.htm and I think hillside is the closest jr. high http://www.mansd.org/hillside/index.htm (check out the dress code) for highschools, I have no clue. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 9:04am - NH Resident ""] Manch isnt bad unless its on Lake ave. Even then, it depends on your neighbors. Beats the hell outta any Boston burb, esp Brockton. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 9:05am - NH Resident ""] I also agree about Nashua being worse. Nash is turning into a mini Worcester, complete with 4300 Brazilians per square inch. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 9:11am - xmikex ""] 3 bedrooms for $900. Wow, what a great.... oh wait... it's in New Hampshire. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 9:18am - the_reverend ""] Lake st is only bad around pine st. once you get up to union you are all set. |
| _________________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 10:12am - brad weymouth ""] i live in weymouth, hence the name Brad Weymouth. she just turned 10, i have boy due in November |
| _____________________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 10:16am - mOe forgot his PW ""] i'd love to live in NH maybe someday |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 10:18am - the_reverend ""] Where do you work? |

| ___________________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 12:43pm - largefreakatzero ""] Now you'll have to be Brad Manchester? Manchester is not bad, but everything Aaron said is correct -- your want to avoid Lake Ave, parts of Pine St., Elm St. (noise), etc. I lived in Manchester about 3 years -- I would assume that you be shown the apt during the day when no one was around (ie. crackheads were sleeping). I would recommend going back to visit the area at night to be sure it doesn't become infested with ghetto slugs when the sun goes down. Also, be sure to check it out when it's somewhat warm out. Even the shittiest parts of Manch appear to be nice when it's cold out -- then when Spring rolls around it turns into da hood. Good luck. |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 1:14pm - Jared_The_zompire ""] Don't buy/rent anything on Central St in Manchester. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 1:36pm - the_reverend ""] L@Z is right. I park just about anywhere when it's cold. when it's warm, fuggedaboutit. I suggest driving by tonight aroun 8pm-sih since it will be warmer. Granted, you are going to be on the 3rd floor, which is better. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 4:54pm - brad weymouth ""] im a copy repair guy. i work anywhere from Norwood to Roxbury, Quincy to Boston, basically south of Boston. My company is out of Nashua though, and they're a decent company so id like to stay with them. this move wont be until next summer, just putting out the feelers for now. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 5:05pm - the_reverend ""] jeepers... if you are always driving south of boston, I'm thinking that north of boston would be the worst idea ever. the traffic getting through boston is always intense. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 8:22pm - brad weymouth ""] yeah, but with them being out of Nashua i think theyd give me up there as a territory |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 20,2007 8:23pm - brad weymouth ""] btw, we service UNH |

| ___________________________________________ [Sep 21,2007 10:00am - largefreakatzero ""] Yes +1. That movie makes you itch. I think I had to take a shower after watching that. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 21,2007 10:11am - the_reverend ""] hudson's ok.. but there is so much traffic getting over the nashua bridge and hollis/canal st. lot's of land over never londonderry if you don't mind all the traffic on 102 going past alverin. hudson is also way more expensive than manch |
