You can find bad horrible stuff all over the place. I don't think they have headlines of the thousands of children that grew up into great people

Wilton is a very pretty New Hampshire town with an active town square. Visit it a couple of times like summer and winter.

so true


hard to find a town that has NO crime.



if growing pot is all you have for crime, then there's not much to complain about.


there would be no underground growing operations if pot was legalized like alcohol. No public use, no sale to minors and no operating motor vehicles....

Alcohol kills and it's legal.

Wilton (population 3,809) scored big bucks from the Department of Homeland Security -- when compared to similarly sized towns in the state -- to protects its, well, homeland.

they used helicopters to find 64 pot plants in a local field back in 2004. Have to justify it's use of funds somehow.

a bit of irony, the bench warrant that led to the bust on Valentine's day, was issued to another resident.

Total waste of money to find pot plants in my opinion

Okay, so there was a murder and a drug case. The fact that a couple didn't get on well and one of them ended up dead doesn't demonstrate that its a violent town.
By the way, what do you know about schools in that area? Any good?
