From Manchester. I can confirm that it’s…a shittier Portland without a beach. There are still tourists but I cannot fathom why or what they’re looking for. Living outside of Manchester is just fine, but you’re an hour from the outdoor activities you like. Manchester itself has a huge breadth of culture, but a serious socioeconomic divide and opioid problem (so much so that the BBC did a documentary about it as the heroin capital of the USA). It could be great, but it’s got a long way to go to get there. There’s a steady nightlife and a few clubs. My favorite spot to eat just closed their doors, so that’s another negative to add 😂 I think you’re looking for Boston, TBH.
