I recently had the fortune of joining the neighborhood association Manchester Alliance and attending the first meeting, at Cafe Zata in May. This blog will serve to record my impressions of future meetings, as well as goings-on around the modern Manchester neighborhood. Posts will follow shortly after each meeting, covering and reflecting on the agenda. It is my hope that my skillset as a historian will be of use to the Alliance, and to the greater Richmond area. The next meeting of the Manchester Alliance is scheduled for Thursday, June 12th at 6pm at Studio Two Three.
