That location is the top selling Dairy Queen in the country! This news was just released about a week ago. Everyone’s probably trying to check it out and see if it lives up to the hype :)

If you're into history, you'll notice we have all these giant mill buildings along the Merrimack river. They used to be for manufacturing (at one time the longest contiguous mill buildings in the world), but now are used for hi-tech biz/manufacturing and education. If you want to learn more you can visit the Millyard Museum.

There's also the first Credit Union Museum (first in the US). The Currier Museum is also awesome as someone else suggested.

The Palace Theatre, along with it's mini-sister theater The Rex, is an historic theatre that's fun to see a show in (live music, comedians, etc at both with live plays/musicals at Palace).

Unfortunately it's been a bit too warm to send you to the ski/tubing slope or ice skating and too late in the season for Frank Lloyd Wright tours.

A walk around Livingston Park (Dorr's Pond) if you want a bit of exercise.

Strange Brew Tavern is a centrally located, relaxed bar that has live music often.

For amazing chocolate and other unique nibbles stop at the Dancing Lion on Elm St. If you need to bring home gifts for others, this is a great place to find it. They're on vacation until the 10th tho.

Yes, there are trans and other LGBTQ+ people in the area. There are gay bars and events.

Edit: downvoting me won't make the gays go away

You can use your own equipment, not sure if it's still the case but they were using PPPOE instead of DHCP in my area when I first got it so I had to input PPPOE credentials into my router, but they gave me those creds over the phone no questions asked. I think if you're on DHCP you'll still have to call in with the MAC address of your gateway but should be no issue.

Does anyone use their own Modem/ Gateway or are you required to rent it from Fidium? Contract ending with comcast in April and want to at least consider supporting the alternative to Comcast.

Looked into applying but stopped when my social security number was required. Not sure why that was needed

I switched a couple of months ago. My fidium app tells me I'm getting 1 gig up and down but actual speeds seem to be about 700 megabits. My connection with Comcast was a legit 1 gig down but I'm saving like $100 per month so I'm not complaining.
