When I was a child , I remember asking a family friend who lived in Manchester if he had any upcoming travel plans . His response ? “ Why would I go anywhere else when the world comes to us ?!” Decades later , his reply still holds true , as these pages will show .
• We ’ ve got world-class artists and art exhibitions ( See “ For the Love of Vermont ” on page 32 ).
• We ’ ve got world-class shopping , courtesy of Manchester Designer Outlets and local entrepreneurs alike ( See “ New in Town ” on page 16 and “ True Colors ” on page 24 ).
• We ’ ve got world-class restaurants , food products , and lodging ( See “ The Sweet Spot ” on page 6 , “ A Taste of the Good Life ” on page 20 , “ Bold and Brave ” on page 60 , Manchester Life ’ s Dining Guide ” on page 66 , and “ Food for Thought ” on page 74 ).
• We ’ ve got world-class community members , who help ensure the region remains rich and thriving ( See “ Meet John Burnham ” on page 20 and “ Flowering Ambition ” on page 38 ).
• We ’ ve got world-class schools and recreation , which not only nurture our talented youth , but instill in them a sense of possibility ( See “ Anatomy of Serendipity ” on page 50 )
• And , of course , we ’ ve got world-class scenery , which remains world-class , no matter the season .
So , years later , the question remains — Why go anywhere else ?!
Enjoy Manchester — and Manchester Life Magazine !
