Newport and Franklin have the bones of the old towns but lack the life that was present in their glory days. New London is a good modern-day town with a great community and a safe environment.
Hanover is a cool town! Didn't once have a train station?

The pie thrower would buy(purchase price to be donated) the pie and from a distance of 8 feet, if they can land one on me then I match the price of the pie for the selected charity. All I request is please no pomegranate pies! They would be real messy!

OMG! A Cherry and Blueberry Pie Fight??? Now that would make a great "I Love Lucy Episode!"

By the way Countrylv22 and all who have posted on this thread, I would like to know what small quaint town would be best for the RED & BLUE DINER?

Countrylv22, Thanks so much for Trying to help out with my quest for the perfect Norman Rockwell Small Town in New Hampshire.

I originally created this thread to hear from everyone who had this nostalgic vision of Small Town America. The kind of town where you could leave your front door unlocked and not worry about your kids all day when they played out side! Hope to hear from more members on this board! Have a Great Sundy!!!!!!

Well it's no suprise to me, Wanna! We're like that too! Well, we lock the place up when we leave, but I no longer feel that some drug feulled gang thug will break into the house and kill me while I'm doing laundry if the side door is unlocked or that the kids will be at risk playing in our driveway.

well... same town ! I kills me that they actually have an alarm system that they don't use and don't bother to lock up. I also find it very amusing at the difference in lifestyle: they go out and make sure all the lights are out and don't bother to lock, while we try to leave a light or to on and the door is locked even when we're home. I can't wait to get out of here!

I think it may take a bit for hubby to get used to how much safer and more relaxed it is up there: he deadbolts the door even when he's home (I just knob lock it).

Default What About Alstead?
It appears that this little town near the NH VT border has very little crime and still may have that special feel to it

Anyone else think so or another town?
