This Whimsical Hidden Alley In New Hampshire Is Filled With Purr-fect Street Art
One of the best things about New Hampshire is the appreciation of the stranger side of life. There are quite a few wacky and wonderful roadside attractions that get more foot traffic than you might imagine. We think that’s a testament to just how open minded New Hampshirites can be! There’s one particular attraction that we think deserves a little bit of extra love and it can be found hidden near the Manchester Public Library.
Manchester offers tons of food and drink options, as well as plenty of culture. We love all of it, but there's a small, out-of-the-way alley that surprisingly offers one of our favorite little pieces of culture.
It first became known as "Cat Alley" when local C.T. Durgin witnessed a fight between stray cats and somehow the name stuck. This was long before a single cat was painted on the brick wall.
Take a stroll down the next time you're in town and be sure to not only appreciate the art, but also the fact that one man decided to create this project for the good of cat lovers all over New Hampshire!
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
