This is based on sales, not actual consumption. Our state liquor stores do a great job of marketing to the surrounding states.

I mean, hell man, we've even got state liquor stores at interstate highway rest areas. And there seems to be a liquor store within 5 miles of every border crossing on every highway that enters from another state.

Wherever you want. There's internet pretty much everywhere except properties way out in the woods, on class 6 roads and such. And even then satellite internet has gotten pretty good, you don't need a low ping to work. So even in that case only dense forest cover or being right on a mountain ridge could impede it.

With wifi calling a good cell signal doesn't even matter. I should know, I barely have one. But I do have a 500/50 internet connection, that's my lifeline. It doesn't go down very often and when it does it's usually on my end and rebooting the modem or router fixes it. Actual ISP downtime is like under 5 hours a month.

People smuggle alcohol from here to resell down in NY, NJ, maybe even further. The tax difference is so much that it's still profitable.

I guess it's not against our laws to sell it to them but it's against their laws to bring back large amounts without paying their states tax.

Manchester has some new stuff going up.

Good luck finding a job that is remote today that will not flip to hybrid in Boston or full time in Boston/Burlington, etc. in the next year. You're going to want to be close to 93 or 95.

Having a remote job makes NH a good place to be. I’m in a similar situation and think it’s best to stay in commuting distance to Boston. I understand that you like nature so north of Concord probably has a lot of appeal, but remember that layoffs happen and living close to Boston gives you a lot more flexibility. We haven’t been hit yet, but the company I work for is consolidating BUs so it’s definitely coming.
