May 5th, 2011 admin Comments off

The world famous Budweiser Clydesdales will clip-clop their way along Nashua’s Main Street next month, making their triumphant return to the 17th Annual Taste of Downtown event. The Great American Downtown, a non-profit downtown advocacy group that holds the tasting event, hired the equines to kick off the June 1 event. The horses, led by the New Hampshire Police Association Pipes and Drums, will leave from Club National on Pine Street at 5:30 p.m. and make their way through the downtown, weather permitting. The clydesdales for years were part of the Taste of Downtown and the Holiday Stroll, but it became more complicated to hire them with purchased Budweiser a few years ago, according to Sue Butler, executive director of Great American Downtown.

Consumer credit rises for fourth month in a row

March 8th, 2011 admin Comments off

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — U.S. consumers increased their debt in January, the fourth straight month of gains, the Federal Reserve reported Monday. In January, total seasonally adjusted consumer debt increased $5.0 billion, or a 2.5% annualized rate, in January to $2.412 trillion, a gain close to Wall Street expectations. December consumer credit was revised to a $4.1 billion increase compared with the initial estimate of a $6.0 billion rise. After rising in December for the first time since August 2008, credit card debt declined in January, falling $4.2 billion or 6.4%. Non-revolving credit, such as auto loans, personal loans and student loans, increased $9.3 billion or 6.9% after a $2.1 billion rise in the prior month.
