Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Need help from anyone that lived in Manchester in the late 80s and has a good memory

I'll preface this post by saying what I remember may be completely off but I have a memory of my dad taking me to a pool hall, at least a place that had pool tables, it was during the day, it wasn't a bar type establishment. It would've been in the late 80's, in my head it was in the section of businesses that currently has the Sky Zone trampoline park and Bamboo Garden restaurant.

I've been away from Manchester for about 25 years so it's been awhile since I've been in that area. My dad doesn't remember taking me anywhere to play pool in that time period.

I have this image in my head that is crystal clear but it's almost like a picture - it's sort of still shot in time. I know this is a long shot, not sure where else to go, if anyone has any suggestions I'll gladly take them.

Thanks

Has anyone had to take a test at a Concentra clinic along with a physical exam?

Will they let you pee for the drug screen first?

Where do they send the results?

Illegal Drug Operation and Drug Ring being run right by School

Why isn’t anyone doing anything about this?

DISCLAIMER: This post absolutely does not solicit or facilitate illegal or prohibited transactions.

IT IS A COMPLAINT!!!

This illegal drug operation has been operating for years and dumping pounds of illegal drugs cut with dangerous fillers onto the streets because the guy running it is an addict and he doesn’t care and laughs about it because he says nobody else cares either.

How many of you out there does this totally piss off?

28 year old looking for gym friends

Hey guys, I just moved to Manchester for work and don’t really know many people in the area yet. I’m 28, an engineer, and looking for people around my age to hang out with and or go to the gym with.

I’m a pretty nerdy guy, recently graduated from BU, and I’m an experienced powerlifter. I usually work out four times a week total two of the times being during the week after my 9-5 and on the weekend around noon or so for about 1 to 2 hours.

I’d also be happy to help someone newer to the gym learn the basics. Mainly just looking to meet some people and make friends in the area. Hit me up!

How has the cost of housing in New Hampshire shaped your life decisions?

Every month, NHPR asks the Granite State a question about life in New Hampshire. When you submit an answer, your voice may be featured on air or online.

The median home price in New Hampshire hit a new record high this summer: $575,000. The last time the state had a balanced housing market, when the number of buyers and available homes was roughly equal, was a decade ago.

So for August’s Big Question, we want to know: How has the cost of housing in New Hampshire shaped your life decisions?

What decisions or sacrifices have you had to make because of the housing market in our state?

Comment your answer, email voices@nhpr.org or send us a voice memo on the NHPR app (instructions at the link above). We’ll get in touch with you, and you might hear your voice on All Things Considered.

Angry dude by the old bus station

Anyone else see that angry dude by the old bus station? He was straight up punching the road signs, and screaming/spitting at every car that passed by.

I drove by 4 hours later he was still going but one street down towards the mill buildings.

I think he needs help but I'm not equipped to do much.... Annnnnd the cops would probably just assault him/throw him in jail.

Any one know what was going on?

He's probably still there.

skip the small talk events across new england

If you’re looking for something different to do in August, Skip the Small Talk is coming to bars, breweries, and bookstores across New England!

It’s a guided conversation event—think speed-friending vibes, but calmer and more intentional. In Boston, we even offer some speed-dating events that apply our science-backed strategy to forming connections to romance :)

You rotate through short conversations with prompts that skip past surface-level small talk. It’s structured enough to make it easy, but relaxed enough to feel natural.

Most people come alone. The crowd tends to be thoughtful, open, and just… normal humans who want more community.

Here’s the link if you’re curious:

Questions about New Hampshire ED tech positions

Hello all this one’s for you New Hampshire ED techs or ED RNs. Me and my fiancée are planning to move to New Hampshire from the west coast as she has family in the state we will more than likely land in the Manchester metro area. I’m currently a ED tech at a level 1 trauma with 7 years of ED experience as well as 5 years experience pre hospital. I am certified at the advanced EMT level. Through my research I know of the big 4 hospitals in the southern NH area are Elliot hospital, CMC, St Joseph and southern New Hampshire med center and to my knowledge all of these hire techs at the AEMT level in the ED.

I’d really like to get some inside info from current or former ED techs or ED RNs who have been at any of these facilities so that I can make a informed decision about where to potentially pursue employment. And I have some specific questions that you can’t really get through Google ect.

My specific questions are……

  1. What is the scope for AEMT techs? I’d assume it’s starting IVs 12 leads ect but is there anything further? Or unique? For example med administration, breathing treatments, foley/striaght catheter?

  2. If any of you know How do the scopes differ between the different facilities/health systems

  3. What roll is the tech usually filling when it comes to code activations such as stemi/stroke/trauma/CPRs

  4. Are any of these facilities ECMO capable? If so what’s the ED techs role in that?

  5. Is being a unit clerk/secretary part of the responsibility’s of the ED tech at any of these facilities? (This is a potential dealbreaker for me)

  6. How is the culture at the facilities? How are techs treated? Are techs used as collaborative members of the team and treated with respect in their role?

  7. What is the age of these facilities? Are they well maintained? Is equipment old/new/well maintained?

  8. What’s the average volume and acuity at these facilities?

I know that’s a lot and any answers to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated as I’m trying to get a picture of the landscape out in NH. Any and all info on any other ED tech jobs or hospitals in the state is also welcome including facilities to look into or ones to completely avoid.
Thanks in advance!
