Reply to comment by Different_Ad7655 in French towns in the Northeast? by wojtekthesoldierbear
We were in Chez Vachon this morning in Manchester and there was a table of older men speaking anglicised French like my mother used to speak when I was growing up in Maine. It was pretty nostalgic to hear.

Reply to hello, after living almost 8 years in NH , we are moving to AZ. bittersweet feelings. I am sad to leave our beautiful NH. anyone else moving out of state? do you have the same feelings of missing out on the mountains and the NE summer? by crazycurious7
I’ve lived in New England almost all my life but had a period of time when we lived in Florida (10 years) then Missouri (18 months) and the Netherlands (2 years) and never felt like any of those places were ‘home’. I cried whenever we left Logan after visiting. My oldest daughter was 4 when we did our first move and when we eventually returned her statement was ‘now I feel like I’m home’. (Of course my second daughter has lived in Oregon now for 8 years and loves it, lol.) I grew up in Maine, lived in MA for a long time and now live in the beautiful Granite State. I can’t imagine living any place else.
Good luck in AZ!

Reply to Why does this state seem to lose power so frequently? It’s always related to downed power lines from trees? Or is this a grid issue? by JayBisky
Trees! We experienced an 8 day power outage when we lived in Tyngsboro MA and after that National Grid went around trimming a lot of trees and we rarely had any power outages after that. Now we live here in NH in an area with underground utilities and never have power outages. 🤷🏻♀️
