Saw this neat Google map in the CT forum.

May be slow to load, but worth the wait.

Hard to believe what people complain about. Especially in the beach towns like Hampton, Seabrook, etc., Small World Problems, as far as I'm concerned. Thoughts?

Amusing! Most of the tweets I see from my part of S.NH are people saying how they love thunderstorms, plus a few complaints about the humidity and not having central air.

If you want complaints, follow @NHProblems & @NoOneFromNHSays

Weather isn't getting worse, people are getting softer. Coming off a week of 90F highs (with 90% humidity), people pine for central air. Doesn't mean they need it.

I don't understand the need for central air around here, but I see it mentioned in new construction.

A window unit is fine and used maybe a few weeks, total, all year. For me its value is in dehumidifying the air, not even so much the cooling.

Out of curiosity, looked at the Tweets from Manchester, NH.

Weird. Is there something in the water there?

Why do these tweeters give out so much private info? Don't they know employers look at this stuff?

As an aside, is that the right way to say "tweeters", or is it "twitters"?

Half of Manchester is twenty-something Redditors who think people filming them with drones is "cool" and guns and trees are scary, and the other half seems to be the human flotsam that's washed up from Lawrence and points south. There's very little real NH there until you hit Bedford or Hooksett, maybe a few folks who live on the outskirts, or don't make quite enough to make the move.

Twits, the appropriate noun is twit.

These twits who overshare are almost exclusively Millennials and younger, accustomed to broadcasting their every thought and deed to the world.

Bedford is real NH (plus Dean Kamen and friends), but Hooksett I'm not so sure about.

I think you have to get a good 15 minutes away from the Interstate to find "real NH", if only get beyond the bulk of the Boston transplants who insist on living within earshot of a "real road" and who can't risk their daily commute being delayed by the town plow truck.

this gave me a good laugh and is completely true. NH has two kinds of people in my estimation: people who like New Hampshire for what it is and people who think New Hampshire is redeemed by its proximity to Boston, the center of the civilized universe.

Great post, BlueRidge1, I've heard others put it this way, "There are people in NH just for the low taxes, and there are people there who just love to live there".

Any recommendations on the best places to visit? Especially any out of the way places? Hidden gems are much appreciated. I hear Harrisville, NH is an amazing old mill town. Anyone know if it's worth the trip? Nowhere near any Interstates, probably why it may be worth a look. Lots of back roads needed to get there, though.
