This is Why I Love Manchester - Part Deux

I just had to share this sign I saw when leaving the polling station today for Manchester's primary election. 

It stands as a perfect reminder of Manchester's rich Franco-American heritage and the continued vitality of the Franco-American community.

For research buffs like me who love primary sources, here's an excerpt of an interview with a French Canadian textile worker discussing the life of French Canadians who immigrated to Manchester in the 1870's and 1880's. The description of the home as the center of activity is so vivid, it's like you're standing in the kitchen.

Good stuff. 

À la prochaine!
