Manchester, New Hampshire Community Video Tour
- Manchester is the largest city in New Hampshire. The city of almost 110,000 residents is divided by The Merrimack River and is the financial, political and cultural center for the state. In 2009 CNNMoney.com rated Manchester 13th in a list of the 100 best cities to live and launch a business in the United States.
One of the architectural highlights of Manchester are its historic red brick mills, many of which have been renovated for other uses. The Amoskeag Manufacturing Company was a textile manufacturer which founded Manchester, New Hampshire. From modest beginnings in near wilderness, it grew throughout the 19th century into the largest cotton textile plant in the world. At its peak, Amoskeag was unrivaled both for the quality and quantity of its products. But with great size came an inability to adapt. In the early 20th century, the business failed in changing economic and social conditions. Segway, the University of New Hampshire and other software and high tech companies occupy the restored buildings. Restaurants and loft apartments are also prominent. Manchester's 19th century affluence left behind some of the finest Victorian commercial, municipal and residential architecture in the state of New Hampshire.
Manchester's many cultural landmarks include the historic Palace Theatre, the Currier Museum of Art, the New Hampshire Institute of Art, the Franco-American Center, the Manchester Historic Association, Millyard Museum, the Massabesic Audubon Center, the Amoskeag Fishways Learning Center, and the SEE Science Center. The Verizon Wireless Arena, opened in 2001, hosts a variety of sporting and entertainment events, including hockey and football games, rock concerts and fairs. The New Hampshire Fisher Cats and the Northeast Delta Dental Stadium are located right downtown.
Housing in Manchester ranges from Historic North End Mansions to chic condominiums to funky loft apartments, and everything in between.
Thousands of children and adults have enjoyed skiing and snowboarding at the McIntyre Ski for decades.
Manchester is located between Nashua and Concord and is at the crossroads of all the major highways in New Hampshire. The Manchester•Boston Regional Airport (MHT) is one of the fastest growing airports in the country and services consumers in four states.

Manchester, New Hampshire is the largest city in the state and one of the fastest-growing cities in New England. The financial, cultural and political hub of New Hampshire, Manchester is located between Concord and Nashua.
Originally inhabited by the Penacook Indians, who called the area Amoskeag - meaning good fish place - Manchester was granted by Massachusetts Governor Benning Wentworth in 1751 as Derryfield. In 1807, inventor Samuel Blodget opened a canal and lock system to allow passage around the Amoskeag Falls for shipping vessels. Blodget here envisioned a major industrial city to rival Manchester, England, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. At Blodget's suggestion, Derryfield was renamed Manchester in 1810, the same year that the new cotton spinning mill on the western bank of the Merrimack was incorporated as the Amoskeag Cotton & Woolen Manufacturing Company.
Incorporated as a city in 1846, Manchester soon became home to the largest cotton mill in the world -- Mill No. 11, spanning 900 feet (270 m) long by 103 feet (31 m) wide, and containing 4000 looms. Other products of Manchester's mills included shoes, cigars and paper. The Amoskeag foundry made rifles, sewing machines, textile machinery, fire engines, and locomotives in a division called the Amoskeag Locomotive Works (later, the Manchester Locomotive Works). The rapid growth of the mills demanded a large influx of workers, which precipitated a flood of new immigrants, particularly French Canadians. Many current residents are directly descendended from Manchester's early mill workers. The Amoskeag Manufacturing Company went out of business in 1935, although its red brick mills have been renovated for other uses. Indeed, the mill town's 19th century affluence left behind some of the finest Victorian commercial, municipal and residential architecture in the state of New Hampshire.
The City of Manchester prides itself on its many historical buildings and churches. The cityscape is an uncanny mix of historical architecture and new developments. The old mill buildings along the Amoskeag River now house an assortment of software and high-tech firms.
Manchester's many cultural landmarks include the historic Palace Theatre, the Currier Museum of Art, the New Hampshire Institute of Art, the Franco-American Center, the Manchester Historic Association Millyard Museum, the Massabesic Audubon Center, the Amoskeag Fishways Learning and Visitors Center, the Lawrence L. Lee Scouting Museum and Max I. Silber Library, and the SEE Science Center. The Verizon Wireless Arena, opened in 2001, hosts a variety of sporting and entertainment events, including hockey and football games, rock concerts and fairs.
The Manchester school system has a dedicated staff and many programs that allow for an effective and fair education throughout the city. Manchester is also host to many colleges, including UNH Manchester, Southern New Hampshire University, and Hesser College. For other town tours visit . For towns in NH visit .

The nickname ManchVegas was derived from illegal gambling in local businesses during the late 1980s or early '90s. Many pizza shops and local bars had video poker machines that would pay out real money. The nickname was coined following a city-wide bust of these machines. It was then adopted as a lampoon of the city's limited entertainment opportunities. The term has since become a source of pride as the city's entertainment scene has grown. By 2003 it was well enough known that a note on Virtualtourist.com said, Residents reflect the regional dry humor by referring to sedate Manchester as 'ManchVegas'. By 2005, an article in Manchester's Hippo Press (a local alternative weekly) said that then-Mayor Robert A. Baines is pushing to replace the nickname ManchVegas with Manchhattan (meaning Manchester+Manhattan). In 2009 the film Monsters, Marriage and Murder in Manchvegas was released referencing Manchester's popular nickname and using much of the city as its backdrop.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
