How can I keep smiting Lloyd when he does such good jokes? I guess I am just evil

When I was a teenager just moved from Los Angeles to Laconia back in the early 70s, I bought all of the "Bert and I" records in an attempt to pick up something closer to the local accent.  I've completely lost it in the decades outside of NH since (except for the word "ayuh" for "yes"), but my wife tells me that during our visits up that way, I've usually picked it back up within 24 hours.

Shorty Dawkins was a big fan of the Bert and I records.

Peterborough is a great town to live in.  I've been here for 30 years, raised a family and have enjoyed my time here.  It could use more "Liberty Minded" residents to move here too!

Short list From a NH Native..

Portsmouth - Quaint fun touristy .. Expensive
Manchester - Old Mill town, largest City, stuff to do. .. some of it still needs updating.
Salem - To Close to MA
Nashua - lots of jobs and people? .. close to mass housing kinda pricey
Berlin - cheapest housing .. Paper Mill
Bedford - Close to Manchester.. some of the Most Expensive Housing
Goffstown - Too many cops .. because of Prison there
Concord - if you like politics
Peterbourough - Very nice .. Small
Hampton - Beach is great .. very crowded .. rolled up in the winter
Claremont - small Old mill town ..? Low prices .. but out in left field
Keene - College town
Rochester - Needs updating
Laconia - Near lake - needs updating .. other towns around the lake are really nice but pretty pricey
Most of the rest are Very small quaint rural towns..
There are some slightly larger Mid Size towns that I think are still reasonable but could just use more businesses and life to them . Hillsbourough , Littleton , Bristol , Lancaster etc. I think if enough people move to one of them they could easily be transformed into something unique.

Merrimack just made #49 in Money's Best Places to Live in America, and we've seen why that's the case in the past year since we moved here.  Nice folks, and pleasant neighborhoods.

We chose Merrimack because it was a reasonable distance from Massachusetts, reasonably rural feel, but still within reasonable driving distance to shopping and other forms of urban life, and about a half hour from my employer's main office.  Any further north would have meant an hour commute or more.
