Manchester in Focus: The Hot Couch

Denise Garcia, an enterprising twenty-something, founded the Hot Couch Teen Arts Center to give Manchester's teens a place to go after school and do something constructive. It's now a vibrant part of downtown Manchester and attracts dozens of teens every day. One of the main missions of the center is to create a place for diversity and understanding among teens of different ethnicities and classes. We talk to Denise and Becky Desrochers about the center. The Hot Couch is at 972 Elm St. 622-2654
