ManchVegas is on a distinguished road

Default Hello everyone!

I'm baaack! Been away a while but I've been busy with the Mrs packing up our condo while dealing with the contractors renovating our new lakeside home (now it doesn't look like a crack house anymore, always a good thing - the rugs in this place were so bad that when I left them outside you could smell them there too!). Still no kitchen (being redone) but the microwave and toaster oven will keep us from starving while that gets finished. Now if we could only sell the old place...

Manchvegas... IIRC, my favorite radio station broadcasts from Manchester. Rock 101?

Ahhh.... Manchester USA.

I was thinking to myself "I've never heard of Rock 101"....

One of the many Manchester USA's. This one's in NH, but I think every state in New England has a Manchester in it.

Heh, the Massachusetts Manchester is technically Manchester-by-the-Sea, which is a rather odd name for a town.

Rock 101 comes in across most of the eastern half of Massachusetts. It's a great station. I love the Block Party Weekends, hehe. My hometown is north of Boston, but at the moment, I'm living about 20 minutes west of the city.

I'm glad everyone's liking the episodes. I'm having fun writing them.

Manchester in the UK is sometimes refered to as "Manchester under water" - mothing to do with the seaside unfortunately.
