Manchester's Neighborhood Stores

This past semester I have been teaching an illustration course and a history of illustration course at the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester, NH. Since I am in town on Tuesdays and Thursdays and have an hour and forty minutes lunch, I decided to explore Manchester on foot, taking lengthy walks during my lunch break. Each day I would follow my nose and see what I could see. At some point it dawned on me that I was coming across quite a few pretty cool neighborhood stores and maybe I should chronicle them with my smart phone. So I started seeking them out. These stores are in some of the funkier neighborhoods and their clientele seems to be folks that for some reason are unable to get to the outskirts of town, where the large supermarkets are.
