Sheehan-Basquil Park — Attraction in Manchester

Well I got my scooter fired up and decided to go and find out how progress was going on the trail to the airport. Son of a gun it was really nice and it starts over on that little extension from Queen City Ave to South Willow Street where the railroad tracks used to go across the road. Lots of people are using it, a really great cross-section of everybody was out there.
