Week in Review: This week’s top stories based on reader clicks.

MANCHESTER, NH — We’re having one of our top traffic week’s ever in the history of Manchester Ink Link. Yes, it’s been a busy news week, with more than 56,000 page views so far, including a panhandler allegedly caught using the money he got from a passing motorist to buy heroin; a man who jumped from the Biron Bridge; and a kitchen fire that forced the evacuation of an elderly high-rise apartment complex.

Also, three alleged wrong-way drivers in the past three days, one of them a DUI attorney.

Oh, and once again, a fan favorite with staying power, our “phone scam” story regarding “free” government money, viewed more than 12,000 times since it posted, which lands it in the Top 20 most-clicked stories just about every week. Why? Because scammers are annoying and relentless – and people are searching the Internet to find out more about these scams, and we work hard to be a reliable source of information.

But we also would like to think we are cultivating a loyal following — our No. 5 “top clicked” story is actually a smattering of stories from our archives, which means you’re sticking around to see what you’ve missed after the news brings you here. You can always feel free to poke around by topic — our stories are archived by category which you can browse using our menu bar, or simply search keywords using our search bar in the upper right-hand corner of the site:
