We're Moving to The Lakes Region!!

[BroadHopper]

Back in the days when people started moving to NH, the natives will proudly wear a sticker on thier car. 'Welcome to NH, Now go home!'.

Still hold true among the natives as the 'yuppies' are retiring and bringing thier 'way of living' to NH and trying to tell us what to do.

NH natives and 'Jerseyites' can co-exist if they can leave their values at the NH border and live like the natives.

The reality show 'Jersey Shores' and others are not what we like to become to be.

Welcome to NH. Be careful what you wish for.

LOL. I moved up from Nashua. Which is basically like being from MA. People work in MA and live in Nashua. Then I moved up here. I thought, Boy it is weird up here. Too relaxed. Six years later, I may not be a Native from here, but I sure am now one of the relaxed ones! MY friends tell me I turned a 180 degrees from my old personality, of being a stressed out depressed Business Manger. So it doesn't matter where you are from. After enough time goes by you will be just like us, and you'll be saying, "OH great here come the Summer folk!" Or as in another thread from here....the "Flatlanders"!

Seems everywhere I've lived there are summer tourists. We get hammered here on the Jersey shore. It's quite unpleasant. (Reason #134 for why we are moving). When my family had a house in Melvin Village I liked the winter time best. Very mellow. Easy to get around the lake.

Broadhopper- I totally understand this point of view. Please see my post #37 where I address this very issue. BTW-I'm not a jersey girl I'm a New Englander. Grew up in northwestern CT, went to the New Hampton School, lived in Boston and Cape Elizabeth, Maine. My NJ stint has been about 12 years. I want to come home.
