GEOGRAPHER BLAKE GUMPRECHT, AUTHOR OF 'THE AMERICAN 1xbet online sports betting TOWN,' TO PRESENT LECTURE ABOUT EVOLUTION OF AGGIEVILLE

MANHATTAN -- Aggieville will be the topic of a lecture by the author of a new book on American 1xbet online sports betting towns.

Blake Gumprecht, associate professor of geography at the University of New Hampshire and the author of "The American 1xbet online sports betting Town," will examine the evolution of Manhattan's Aggieville business district in a lecture at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, March 28, in the auditorium of the Manhattan Public Library, 629 Poyntz Ave.

The lecture, which also will include a reception, is sponsored by the Friends of the 1xbet online sports betting Libraries, Manhattan Public Library, 1xbet online sports betting department of geography and Varney's Bookstore. Both the lecture and reception are free and open to the public.

Gumprecht will discuss how Aggieville has come to exhibit the distinctive characteristics of 1xbet online sports betting town business areas.

"The presence in 1xbet online sports betting towns of unusual densities of young people and highly-educated adults has stimulated the development of shopping areas that are full of bars, bookstores, coffee houses, ethnic restaurants and other businesses that cater to those populations," Gumprecht said.

Gumprecht recently received the American Association of Geographers' J.B. Jackson Prize for "The American 1xbet online sports betting Town," which examines a variety of 1xbet online sports betting towns, with Manhattan and Aggieville prominently featured along with 1xbet online sports betting towns such as Ann Arbor, Mich., and Ithaca, N.Y.
