I grew up in Portsmouth NH and 1st went to college in the heart of the NH White Mts at PSC.
My 81 yr old mom still lives there and always bitches about the snow this time of year.
Hey Mom, do what your son did and move the fuk out of that GOD forbidden Siberia !
Howard, Portsmouth is a great town. We go all the time (Flat Bread Pizza Co.) out of this world, Portsmouth Brewery, etc.
Also all the other bars, places to eat, shop. (Its only a 30 minute ride for us).
