What town in New Hampshire most closely represents or reminds you of small town America? (Keene: Thai, limit)

It is actually not on Main Street. Take 93 N get off at exit 42 and turn right and you will see it on your right a little after a Gulf station (Dads Gas). The Main Street is looking pretty good as of this time!

Sure I hear you....but people that run businesses really really need the money that these people bring with them

If you can only see the tree in front of you, then you are too close to ever be able to see the forrest that's behind it. These transients overpower the entire infrastucture of any town or village that they infest. They do not reuce taxes, but rather substantially increase them. More teachers, fire, police, water, etc., etc..

If as a business person, your only solution to increase your profits is to gut your village by overrunning it with tansients, then maybe you should move to the inner city yourself, or lookinto working for someone else. You obviously do not have the dynamic business sense or knowledge to create/generate business by other means.

Instead of being part of the problem, thinking only of yourself, why don't you hire a marketing group; join a cooperative, sell online, etc.. Their are multiple ways to generate business without having to destroy your neighbors town.

definitely NOT manchester, salem, derry, londonderry and nashua. It is becoming a "northern Mass extension" rather than new hampshire. You have to go farther north or more east but not the coast to get that feel but then you run into the problem of being in the middle of nowhere with nothing. We are currently looking to get out of this area all together (as you can tell by my name). New Hampshire used to be the last conservative haven in New England. Sadly that's gone down the drain.

It depends what you mean by "small town America". As one poster here says, it can't be found on the coast and must be further up, but when I went to Exeter, it really felt pretty small town to me, as did Hollis amongst others... I guess it depends where you are coming from. I live in Northport in Suffolk county on Long Island, where the county has more people than in all the state of New Hampshire, and yet I am not crowded in where I live. Northport Village is actually a small town with a harbor. Very nice actually. Albeit Long Island is certainly too crowded for me, but even here we have towns with nice "small town" feel to them...

When I visited New Hampshire, I saw a lot of towns that remind me of small town America...

I'll mention that to the business owners what you have to say I am a little busy tonight planning my outfit for gutting the city I live in and being part of "the problem" altough I am unsure what the "problem" is

OMG Aptor! I ate so much there I felt like a beached whale! Unbelievable value too!

Please share your thoughts of where you find great cuisine in Northern New Hampshire

Madison NH. We live in Madison and while the town itself does not have all those "quaint" things you are talking about it is not far from conway which has the center green and stores along with the conway railroad. Honestly , anywhere in NH is beautiful.
