MANCHESTER, NH — Although crime continues to drive the traffic on our site, this week we had seven “non-crime” stories break into the Top 20, with the top story of the week being the sale sign on the Chandler House, a historic mansion valued at more than half a million dollars, on the market for just under $30,000 – with the stipulation that the buyer also move the mansion from its current location on Walnut Street. Another Top 20 story included a follow-up about how the Chandler House was named one of this year’s “Seven to Save,” a designation by the NH Preservation Alliance for sites with historic value in jeopardy of being lost.

We’ll see how that plays out.

Also showing up strong this week: Operation Granite Hammer, an initiative by Manchester Police to target street-level drug dealers; a change in the city’s winter parking ban process, and a tussle in the Chipotle parking lot involving a police officer, who was aided by a 71-year-old bystander.

A big thank you to our regular contributors, John Clayton, Susan Ware Flower and Mike Morin, who add incredible value to this space for you, our dear readers, with their great posts.
