Reply to comment by FreezingRobot in Areas to avoid in Manchester? by gman2391

This is pretty much my understanding. I'm just not looking to catch myself on the wrong street unknowingly.

I'm a manufacturing engineer

That won't happen. I've lived around here since I was born and essentially anything you'd want to/be doing if you're just working there/wanting to get some tasty food or do something fun is perfectly fine. I've never even been close to seeing an issue. Unless you like taking night time walks in dark areas that look sketchy I don't think you'll have any problems.

I more or less assumed this was the case, thank you for the reassurance!

No problem! Also if you're new to NH welcome! If you're looking to do some pickup soccer/volleyball/pickleball lemme know!

Yea, Manchester's really not like that. You're not going to walk into the wrong area and someone will take violent offense to your presence. It's more like walking off Elm Street into a dark road and getting mugged kind of thing. There's been a lot of stories in the past few years about that happening in broad daylight in the parks.

It's really just a matter of keeping an eye out for your surroundings, like any city.

this is accurate

there are a couple areas that aren’t taken care of well and can get a little ~rowdy~ and there’s some smashed TVs on the sidewalk etc but I was still able to walk in those areas alone— or with my young child— regularly without a problem when I lived in Manch for a few years

I got aggressively catcalled once by a really drunk guy near where the Dominos is on Maple St and I told him to suck my dick and kept walking home with my pizza 🤷🏻‍♀️ (*my kid was not with me that time)
