Nashua is the town/city that borders Hollis. Median income in Nashua is 36k, median income in Hollis is 140k. They are starkly different towns. Hollis is a NIMBY town, with a rural feel. 'Farming community' which really equates to wealthy buying up the farm land and building their mansions in the middle of a field. That said, the motel is something you drive past when going to Hollis, immediately entering Hollis from Broad St, it goes from suburb sprawl, to farm land.

No, the lake is spring fed and doesn't stay cold enough, so cyanobacteria is a problem. Before regulations locked things down, people bought land and built homes right up against the edge of the lake. Many of the houses are little fishing shacks, probably built in the 50s. The septic systems are most likely grandfathered in. The lake is being monitored/studied by the state university, hopefully they'll figure out the source of the issues. I would not recommend swimming there, feels like swimming in warm bathwater mid summer.

I live in Hollis. This B&B is on Broad St, which is a main road from the highway into Hollis. This B&B is in an old historical farm house. I would say this is a pricing error. Hollis is a small town, and there isn't a whole lot going on here, it is a nice town for raising a family, but not a tourist destination. I think it is more suited for people visiting family in town.

Conversely, you're taking the book you don't like away from everyone based on your personal opinions.

I don't see why some people can't just parent their children when they see objectionable content. That is how parenting works: you're supposed to prepare them for the real world, when they'll see things that hurt their feelings all the time that they can't just roll up and ban.

Additionally, there is already a process for this. Your duly elected school board will hear book ban requests.

Boston for sure.

It depends what sport it is. Typically Sunday football is the pats if they are playing, and then the ny teams next. The steelers play pretty frequently on the channels on Sunday. If you're hoping to grab like, the 49ers, you'll be hard pressed to find their game on Sunday if it's not against the pats. I sent you a dm also!

Comcast (broadband, but can be fast) has a stranglehold in Claremont, and the area.

Fidium (symmetrical fiber) is only available in a few small towns that Comcast doesn't already monopolize.

That being said, I would just get internet, and a good VPN. You'll be able to stream any game or event for free once you get the hang of finding them.

This gets asked every so often and there are usually a fair amount of suggestions. You might not get a true “NY style” pizza, but that doesn’t mean the pizza is bad.

Bagel alley in Nashua is supposed to be good for bagels. Haven’t had a chance to get over there yet to verify.
