New Hampshire, 1947

[@marknmeganwile6845]

Born and raised here and i love it here. Great place to raise a family and live a quiet and peaceful life.

[@TheStabbyMedic]

Me too!!

[@mackenziewhethers1257]

My home state. Quiet, quaint and rural. A place of tradition and natural beauty. Perfectly content to remain a wall flower, the world bustling around her all the while she remain the same as she has always been. May she stay this way for many generations to come.

[@Hugehugebighuge]

Don't come to Rockingham county nowadays LOL

[@JonRheaume2282]

And then came the massholes

[@PenskePC17]

The part I'm from has never really been that rural, but the rest of the states beautiful 😂

[@alphonsenormand9552]

Man, ain't that the truth !

[@DavidDillon101]

I, too, am a Granite State enthusiast. Indeed, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting New Hampshire on day trips and extended holidays since the 1960s, and I am consistently moved by her seemingly endless man-made and natural attractions. For the newcomer to New Hampshire, by all means make a beeline to the Mountain Washington Valley, truly one of the outstanding highlights of a trip to New England.

RIP...Old Man of the MNTS😢

This is amazing footage!!!!!! My folks were married that year and honeymooned there so this is exactly what they experienced as far as the cannon tram!thank you.

[@jaredcanton9748]

It’s amazing watching and trying to recognize certain areas from almost a hundred years ago

[@-send-it-garage-7897]

God I love New Hampshire and I’m so glad to be born here

[@TMMM-c9i]

I adore New Hampshire. I spent summers there with my cousins on a lake. Magical times & I really miss those days. Now I head there every winter with my spouse for vacations. We love it. It can’t snow enough. We’re heading there in 3 weeks. I hope to retire there in 23 years. If I were rich I’d buy a winter home there.

[@GrayWolf-745]

In 2002 I moved from Manchester to Florida full time. I never did like winter and we had a short summer. Weeks of gray cloudy cold windy days. The high property taxes, cold, rusty vehicles and changing political climate was enough for me. Some of our more well to do neighbors used to vacation in Florida for a month or two in the winter. You knew who they were because of their plastic pink flamingos on the lawn. I wondered what the attraction was. I lived in Hawaii for two years and loved the climate but the island of Oahu got really small after a while. Now I enjoy 300 simply beautiful days a year, tropical beaches, the best fishing in the world and I have twice the home and property at one quarter the tax rate. I spent 50 years in NH and the state is amazing but I had to move on to greener pastures. There are some things that I miss about Manchland but I do enjoy my 'second life' here in the Sunshine State.

[@oldpirate007]

The narrator is definitely from away, his mispronouncing Berlin, Concord and Piscataqua. Hard to believe we lost the Old Man about 15 years ago.

[@TheStabbyMedic]

I don't remember him mispronounced Berlin..

[@kanekujan1777]

@@TheStabbyMedic Berlin NH is pronounced BUR-lin because near the beginning of World War I they didn’t want to be associated with the capital of Germany, however even though I live in Berlin NH I pronounce it Berlin like the capital of Germany, and I call Vermont West New Hampshire. But to me it does sounds like he’s pronouncing it right though.

[@HM2SGT]

Ayuh, I noticed that as well. I don’t believe anybody actually went to New Hampshire for any of the information! I was startled that he intimated that the old man was a sculpture.

[@TheRandomINFJ]

Admit it though, some towns, rivers, etc are tough to pronounce. Even locals cannot pronounce Milan NH properly. I've ran into people at the Nansen Ski Jump who call it Mee-lawn. Some pronounce it mill-lawn. *It's my-linn!!!*

[@urveryspecailchild6836]

Dude said “ conquart” for concord😂

[@guineamlp9749]

Wow new hampshire. I see a video from the 40's and it looks exactly the same as it does now.

[@mackenziewhethers1257]

XD I just thought the exact same thing

[@milfordcivic6755]

The southern part of the state has changed a lot. The wonderful farms and wooded acres of land are now gone. Now we're mile after mile of mall after mall. And plenty of $400,000+ McMansions for the wealthy to live in.

[@troyminer7]

Guinea Mlp I’m from New Hampshire and once you get to Concord, anything above that is all the same lol. I live not too far north in Laconia and yeah, it’s pretty amazing

[@cameronsantiago3155]

Milford Civic I know this a comment from a while ago, but what is the average home price in NH

[@FreedomUntilDeath]

@@cameronsantiago3155 really depends on where in the state you are... southern half of the state is much more expensive than the northern half. We live in the northern half and bought our house 3 years ago for about $130,000. But with the pandemic the housing market has gone wild! Houses going under contract in a day or two and prices are UP! All the massholes and other out of staters are running for the NH hills....

We tend do think of ourselves as less corrupt and complex than Massachusetts, less isolated and preppy than Maine, and less snooty and hippyish than Vermont.

They should just rebuild it at this point, I understand the mourning period, but the pros of a rebuild far outweigh the cons.

[@HM2SGT]

@@penskepc2374 Rebuild?!🤣 You realize it was never ‘built’, right? It was a natural occurrence, a bunch of rocks left behind by the last glacier that, when viewed from a particular angle, gave the appearance away chiseled, grizzled Madanly profile? “Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades; shoemakers hang out a gigantic shoe; jewelers a monster watch, and the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but up in the Mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that there He makes men."

No mention of Nashua. It's now the second largest city and growing fast enough to become the states largest in a few decades.

[@StrangeScaryNewEngland]

No mention of Lake Winnipesaukee or Lake Waukewan either, and those are the peak tourist spots even then

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

Massachusetts can have Nashua .

[@kindnessfirst9670]

@@manchesterexplorer8519 Aside from lowering their property taxes why would Nashua residents want to be in Massachusetts?

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

@KINDNESS FIRST Mass residents have invaded southern NH over the past 35 years and have destroyed Nashua as well as Manchester . Especially Manchester as the city was once consistently voted as one of the top 3 small cities to live in the USA not to long ago . Both Cities have been overrun by Puerto Ricans that brought narcotics , and crime which also resulted in violence and homeless junkies roaming around everywhere . Not to mention that they trashed the place with no respect towards anything . Again not all of them but quite a good percentage are gangsta wannabes , this is what I meant by " Just give the city to Mass " Lawrence Mass was also once a nice place to live about 45 years ago that got over run by them as well as they simply moved up and spread the filth Northward to NH for the past 30 years and it gets worse by the year .

[@TheRandomINFJ]

@@StrangeScaryNewEngland you're wrong about Waukewan. Literally nobody mentions that place. And it's not a "peak" tourist spot. It's just not, bro.
