Pro-Tip: If you're single, going to see the movie Titanic is a great date.

The hospitality industry gets a big boost from all of the staffers and media needing hotel rooms for months on end. Not to mention, all of the money that WMUR and the radio stations across the state take in from the campaign ads.

I feel like I'm always seeing this here and it really bears no resemblance to reality. Most people who move to New Hampshire from Southern New England are conservatives who see New Hampshire as a safe haven for their political ideals.

The Free State Project is an obvious example of this but you have other data points. NH's most influential conservative governors in modern history (John Sununu and Meldrim Thomson) were conservatives who moved to NH from elsewhere. I've analyzed enough NH elections to tell you that newcomers are not disproportionately more liberal than the native born New Hampshire population. This is a myth that New Hampshire Republicans spread, it is simply not true.

Stewart’s is now in Vermont? When I lived there, they were right across the line in New York but I never saw one on our side of the line.
