Hippo’s 20th anniversary

Hippo’s 20th anniversary
We take a look back at the Hippo’s two most challenging years — the first one (because starting a brand new paper is hard), and the most recent one (because global pandemic) — and we talk to some of the biggest proponents of the downtowns of Manchester, Concord and Nashua to see how far they’ve come in the past 20 years.

Also on the cover, Milford has a new spot for Texas-style barbecue, p. 24. Whip up a caramelized onion dip that won’t ruin your New Year’s eat-better resolution, p.27. And, yes, there is still live music, all week long, p. 34.
