Questions about NH

MaineShark - the nearest wal-mart to Lancaster is in Littleton now

Yeah, that looks correct.  I actually drove by the Gorham WalMart during PorcFest, which was why I mentioned that.  But yeah, Littleton looks to be five minutes or so closer, on the map.

Vote Tyler Stearns - having lived in plymouth for the past 2 months I'd say that it is a much much smaller town than Littleton, even with the college there. It'll grow, though.

Actually, Plymouth & Littleton are about the same size population-wise...nearly 6,000.  Plymouth always looks a little differently to you when you're a college student than when you're a resident (or nearby resident) (hubbie graduated from Plymouth).

I know Littleton well -- my roommate in college was from Littleton, and being from Lancaster, it's where we used to shop since it had more stores and it had a better movie theatre!  It's a nice town.  Two strikes against it, in my book -- it's north of the notch and there's no university.  There's a sense of culture and energy that comes with having a university in your community.

I love snow, being from Michigan, we got a good amount. I have seen some conflicting stories of snow. I like it to start snowing late october and stop around march-april. Is there places in NH that do that?

Yea, he should do just fine in NH, that one.... The rest of us are sitting here going "wait, you mean, a FOOT of snow? A WHOLE foot? Not just half a foot? What do you mean by this 'THREE FEET' of snow?"

I guess I better chime in for Manchester here or at least the area around it. It's surrounded by smaller cities and has a pretty good location: It's an hour from Boston, an hour from the seacoast, an hour from mountains, not too far from the Capitol if you want to go and sit in on legislature sessions, there's a little bit of everything
The Walmart here sucks though, btw. The nearest supercenter is in....Plymouth or Exeter I think. Neither one of the Targets near here is a SuperTarget either

Okay, I'm kinda new at this whole Walmart thing...I put it off as long as I could.

We have tried 3 SUPER Wally Worlds in the area.  They are:

- Amhearst
- Salem
- Concord

In order of cleanliness and mutant factor.

Thank you all so much for the information. Looks like I have a lot of exploring to do to find the right place for me. The northeast area of NH sounds the most promising, however, the job will be the big killer. We will see. I will have to plan a tri put there at some point in the spring!

Thanks again!

Manchester, Keene, and Dover are becoming hubs for political activism--though I'm not sure that you'll like the kind of activism they've got in Keene.  Manchester has lots of jobs, places to stay, and other freestaters to network with.  A lot of freestaters have been coming through Manchester--renting, finding work here, then looking at neighboring areas that are within driving distance to buy a home.  Manchester was recently ranked 8th best location in the country to invest in real estate, so some may be buying their homes here.

That was really well said.  However, you could have also put Concord on that list

Well said?  Personally, I doubt that he would like the kind of activism they have in Manchester and Concord -- you know, the kind of stuff that has been tried before and failed.

Like Dada's upcoming trial and protest and the National ID Protest?
