Colebrook has most things you need. There aren't many restaurant options especially fast food. People are typical New England-like and mind their own business, but will always say hello. Politics are mostly conservative, but not crazy. People mostly don't want things to change. I live in Columbia, which is about 30 minutes south of Pittsburg. Pittsburg is absolutely beautiful if you love spending time outdoors. Winters are cold. We had temps of -27 last year. Vets are difficult to find if you have any pets. It is VERY quiet and peaceful here. There are surprisingly many activities including concerts and theater shows. I'll let someone else speak to employment as I am retired. I hope this helps?
