MANCHESTER, NH – News is news – bad guys getting arrested, presidential politics, even the weather sometimes, and last week was no exception. The stories that resulted in 31,386 clicks to Manchester Ink Link run the gamut.
A Granite Hammer bust was the top news story of the week, and it’s no wonder in a city that has been besieged by heroin use and abuse. Also among the top stories: random gunfire, an unfortunate outcome in Nashua during torrential rain, 20 drug dealers indicted on federal charged, and a woman charged with reckless driving whose mugshot brought in readers from around the country (with a shout out from The Official Dave Barry Blog).
But we also brought you some heartwarming, informative and uplifting news – Manchester Police Lt. Nicole Ledoux was honored for her work with at-risk kids; Gary Trahan wrote a timely and touching tribute to his brother, who died of cancer just a few days after his post; John Clayton stirred up some history of the Amoskeag mills; Mike Morin brought you another inspirational podcast on reinvention after 40, and, of course, the ever-popular phone scam story continues to be relevant.
Just in case you missed something, we’re rounding up last week’s most-read stories, based on reader clicks, for those who want to catch up with the news. Links are below.
