Yes, I've been to Burlington a lot! Very nice but it's a little far from my extended family. Also, less employment opportunities for my industry (technology and engineering).

Portsmouth is also on the list!

Haha, thanks I like it too.

Burlington, VT is nice (lived there for a year) and Durham/Dover/Portsmouth are nice but that's more college-y.

I'm 33 FWIW.

A fox!?! In the WOODS!?! Egads!

Think of Manchester as Portland without most of the positives. It's run down and depressing and is not heading in a good direction.

Any of the surrounding towns would be much better options.

"Old retirees, surly and unhealthy locals, and inconsiderate tourists" also describes a lot of New Hampshire unfortunately. Manchester is probably good for your age range though. As far as your politics go, nobody cares unless you make it your personality or when it comes to dating.

Manchester is fine. It has its good and bad areas. I haven't lived in big cities elsewhere but I've worked in the worst areas of Manchester and assume they're not as bad as the worst areas in places like NYC, LA and Chicago.

If you're not happy with Portland I can't imagine Manchester would seem any better to you.

Honestly, I'd say if you want to stay in NE and aren't happy with Portland but want to find someone you're gonna need to go to Mass.

Portland is where I tell people your age with your problem to go.

Manchester isn't a bad choice for NH but its just... a much shittier Portland.

Ever hear of..uh... Not fighting people pointing firearms at you?

Corporate bullshit kills everything. Fuck Hearst.

I've been seeing a lot of trees shedding bark this year. Wonder if the warmth has anything to do with it. I've got a huge silver elm tree that I'm going to need to cut down unfortunately.

Hide yo wife, hide your kids, there's a killer in the neighborhood!!

As someone who knows pretty little about the intricacies of syrup making and the weather it takes what does zone 6a mean?

Probably drunk. Which can make even normal people have mental health issues/assholes/stupid… given the right circumstances.

Makes sense. We gained 20 + million people since 2010… then had a pandemic which fueled incredible division, inequality, domestic violence, and a rush on gun sales.

How many cops were killed by citizens in 2021 vs previous years?

The fact that more people were killed by police in 2021 needs additional analysis to draw any take-aways about police-work trends, especially ones that would lead a reporter to draw conclusions in this specific case.

And the lowest in 20+ years in 2022 so…

Cool, so this is how I can take care of my rowdy neighbors!

I know your post is well intentioned, but you're going to get clowned for warning people in NH that a fox may be in the area. It's like saying there might be a tree in the forest. We are aware and it's really not a threat.

Lads, I don't know how to stress this more thoroughly but I saw some very suspicious crows this morning. They were behaving more like seagulls than crows which is very worrying, all I am trying to say is hide yo wife... hide yo kids.

This news is an embarrassment to journalism.

Chill out y’all, I got chickens, and this is t the first time this bugger’s been around, and I know that some nearby houses have kids, all I was doing was making sure people were aware for the sake of some safety. I know full well they aren’t super dangerous. My little sister got up close once before it ran off. If she could scare it, it’s no threat. But I just wanted people to know. Especially those with kids and chickens or small pets.

There was a sighting of those terribly violent chipmunks people keep talking about. A real character from a horror story from what I’ve seen. Save yourself!
