A legendary figure in European literature, Johnson chose to settle in a cheerful working-class town with a steel works and port, that echoed in many ways the GDR he left, and had views across the Thames Estuary not unlike the Baltic seascapes of his native Pomerania. ....
Manhattan Avenue closure ends, ending outdoor dining experiment SHARE by Mark McDermott The Manhattan Avenue outdoor dining experiment is over. The city on Tuesday afternoon issued a brief statement saying the closure of two downtown city blocks that allowed restaurants to expand outdoor dining to the street would end later that afternoon. Mayor Suzanne Hadley, who was an ardent proponent of the street closure as a means of helping local businesses, said that the experiment had run its course. “During Covid, our city staff and council have worked hard to pivot and adapt to new ways of aiding our business community, as well as create rewarding experiences for our residents and visitors,” Hadley said. “The Manhattan Avenue street closure was recommended by many in our community.
