Hi Don,

This gallery is for everyone to add their photos -- feel free to add your shots of Whiting!

whiting sould refer t themselves as west end of Mancheser

Keep going west on 70 about 7 miles: 1) you come to Manchester Blvd and make a left at the light and you come down to Lacey Rf/Rt 530, or stay on 70 till you get to 539&530, turn left at the light when you see a Wawa filling station and you can head into Whiting passing the big Stop n Shop on the right, CVS on the left. Very busy reconstruction of the roadways, so use caution.

Whiting is about the size of a postage stamp and is the home of the Crestwood Villages. Look on a map for where Rtes. 530 and 70 intersect with Old Country Road. That is the west end of Whiting.

We moved into the Whiting section of Manchester in 1997. From the very first day, we felt very much a part of Manchester. The library has been an important part of our lives,as it suppllies us with audio books and serves as host the Crestwood Camera Club's annual exhibits. The Manchester police department has alway struck me as being very professional.....even if I have occasionally received tickets from very courteous policemen. Whenever we retired people need assistance a cruiser is the second only to our immediate neighbors to help. Most of the people we meet in local stores are cheerful. There are a few crabs out there. At times, I may be considered one of them.

I am, however, bothered by the tone of much of the discussion in the Patch. It is often heated without casting much light. Politics is not a four lettered word. In America It is a process which has included Washington, Andrew Jackson, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Nixon, and James Michael Curley. Our more recent leaders are not so different than they. All of these leaders were flawed. Some of them lived during much more difficult times than ours. Some were even more reviled than ours are now.

Let us reason together.

Manchdster United sounds like a soccer team. Manchester is my home town.
