Very beautiful. Dartmouth area porcs raise your hands?
(I'm not from the area, but I've been. I kind of wanted first post in a subforum though :P)

Me too! Hi there. :)
I remember driving up to Dartmouth College about . . . geez, 5 years ago already? . . . to take a tour when I was doing the college admissions thing. I remember driving, and driving, and driving through the woods on a highway and then, in the middle of nowhere, seeing a freakin' car dealership. It seemed so surreal at the time. And the college itself seemed like it was just plopped in the middle of a small town, like the one from Gilmore Girls (in high school, it was my guilty, shameful pleasure). Is the entire area like that -- just woods, huge car dealerships, and small-town feel? :D

Braddogg... I live in the Darmouth area and I don't get that impression. There are definitely places where you can live out in the woods if you want to, but near DHMC and Dartmouth there are lots of other stores (besides car dealerships :D). The first time I visited was summer of 2005, though, so I don't know how it compares to before. There were lots of places to hike and go kayaking, parks, and a couple of really nice gyms. But especially near the hospital it is full of stores and businesses. Generally the housing prices and the amount of development drop off exponentially with distance from Dartmouth and DHMC.
Interestingly enough, there have been quite a few times since I moved when I tried to get mapquest directions, and they would tell me to take "Dartmouth College Highway" to get someplace. Several roads were called "Dartmouth College Highway" and they were not continuous, which leads me to believe that Dartmouth actually owns some of the roads around there! Pretty cool, huh?
Email me if you want to know anything more specific!
They probably use to connect and lead to Dartmouth.
I would say the town grew up around Dartmouth ... not that the college was plopped into the middle of something. :)
So are you porcupines gunna start up a monthly meeting in the area? It is sorely needed. There are plenty of you guys up there, but you mostly don't know about each other.
Russell,
That's a great idea. You are right, I don't really know anybody. :D
So is anybody free on Sunday 1/14 for lunch? Anybody like sushi/sashimi? [Raises hand] I know a great place: http://local.yahoo.com/details?id=10379974 (http://local.yahoo.com/details?id=10379974) ... I'm game as long as at least one other person is interested! Let me know.
Sounds like a great place. But being in Wisconsin I won't make it this time around. :(
Next time, error. :)
If you're planning to move to the Dartmouth area let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Thanks. Actually I'm moving to Keene but I'll be finding any excuse I can to travel around the state. :)
having someone willing to get the ball rolling is all it takes. Eventually you can have a thriving group going, but someone has to go first.
It's been years since I last had Japanese food, which is really a cryin' shame.
There's a dartmouth area porcs yahoo group, also, where you might find people interested in meeting:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dartmouth-porcs/
Cool! Thanks Kat, I joined the Yahoo group and I'll post there to see if anyone wants to come.
David, you should come up 1/14 if you're free, maybe some others will want to join us too!

Okay, I'll be there! I've got to get back to Boston by 7:00 or so; my roommates are coming back from break early and we're all going to watch the season premier of
24 together. It's a Spring semester roommate tradition. We drink Jack Daniels while watching Jack Bauer: Jack and Jack and Diet Coke Mondays 8)

Sweet! Or we could make it 1/13 if that's more convenient for you, makes no difference to me and so far nobody else has said they were going to show up...
Did you know there's a bus that goes back and forth between Dartmouth and Boston? ~$45 round trip, and it runs every 2 hours. :D http://www.concordtrailways.com/dartmouth_coach.htm

Yes, I know, and I hate them (http://forum.soulawakenings.com/index.php?topic=5933.0).
Hmm, didn't know about that... kind of weird that they would make you show ID. What is this preoccupation with ID cards? Just because you don't have an ID card it automatically makes you a threat of some kind?
Has anyone ever tried to board the Dartmouth Coach without ID? How about saying that you just lost your wallet and don't have your ID on you?
well, I can't go on the 14th because that's the Monadnock meeting, but I can go a different day. I'll volunteer Lex and family to show up too. ;D
What would you guys think about the 7th or the 21st?
A short list of possible attendees:
Lex and Anna
the Babiarz
Mike Lowery
anyone else in Dartmouth area?
Hi Caleb,
The 21st sounds good! Whenever you guys can make it... weekends are usually the best time for me.
It will be great to meet you all. :D
Stephanie
Ok, I've added it to the calendar. Now we just have to figure out time and place. Where's that sushi place, belle?
Sushi is a bit pricey. Are there other places that would work? How about Weathervane?
Thanks, Caleb!
This is the restaurant I had suggested before: http://local.yahoo.com/details?id=10379974
It's called Yama and it's in West Lebanon (same as Lebanon). It is very affordable, especially for sushi/sashimi, and great quality. They also serve Korean food. They have lunch specials for about $6 and they are good! The owners are two very nice ladies from South Korea. It's my favorite place to eat around here.
Of course, any restaurant would be cheaper if we didn't have the damn 8% tax.
I have never been to Weathervane, where's that?
It's probably better for me if we meet for lunch, but I don't have any preference as to the time.
Sush it is then.
