NOVEMBER 22, 2011 — It’s that time of year again in Manchester, Connecticut. Thanksgiving Day and the week of Thanksgiving means family is around, friends come back from wherever they have moved to, and in Manchester it means the Manchester Road Race.

That being said we’ve decided to make a list …
