Sandbarcreek,
Good luck with your search for a tranquil piece of the Granite State! I own a home in Bethlehem (next to Littleton) and land in Gilmanton. Both are wonderful communities and close to lots of amenities. For the job search consider reading the local regional weekly papers. Salmonpress has about a dozen regional papers with pretty good classifieds. For example, this week's Littleton Courier advertised a full time patrolman position for the Town of Littleton. They also list local teaching vacancies. Some papers require a subscription to view while others are free (Winnisquam Echo).
Good luck!

If you like home spun meals with a warm caring ambiance then you should check it out! They also have a fantastic Chicken Fried Steak!
Just be careful of the Bears and Elk this time of year, as they have appetites too!
Hiya Comet - We enjoy the Littleton Diner (it's also a popular stop for politicians when they're in the area or depending on how you feel about them). One thing we learned since moving here is to go on "off" times - if you go at "normal" times for breakfast, lunch or dinner, there's often a wait - if you go even 15 minutes earlier or later, no problem and you get to chat with the people who work there and they have a GREAT sense of humor and are a lot of fun!
We also have, what I *think* is a new B&B here in town, the North Country Inn. I'm not sure if it's open for business yet, but they do have a sign out...when that house was for sale, if DH and I had the money, we would have bought it and done the B&B thing with it - beautiful old house with a tennis court and right off Main Street.
Right now Bethlehem is having some problems concerning a landfill - I'm not really "up" on it all, but evidently there have been cancer "clusters" identified and the state is looking into it -I don't know if it's a current landfill or an old one, but it is something someone thinking of moving to Bethlehem should probably check out........I've been too preoccupied with work to really follow what is really going on......

Hi dare! Did you get my DM? The wife and I will be at the Littleton Diner so if you want to meet for lunch let us know!
That is sad about the Bethlehem Land Fill! I personally feel all landfills should be closed and every single thing should be recycled or reprocessed!

Dare, what do you think about Sugar Hill?
Thanks to all who made this thread!
Comet!!
Hi Comet - Never got your DM - just sent you one!
I don't know much about Sugar Hill other than a lot of people really like it! I think CaptJob probably knows more about it than I do, didn't he stay near there on his first trip?

Thank you so much for post this DARE TO DREAM!
I truly appreciate it!!
However, after reading about it,
it just made me sick to my stomach!
The company that Bethlehem is having problems with, brings TRASH
from different states! They have been fighting with the town for
over 10 years, I believe.....
Which means that the town has spent 10% of its budget or $300,000+
in LEGAL fees! The company keeps increasing their acreage
there, even though the town is against it!
Supposedly, the company is involved in questionable practices!
Here is what I do NOT get, if they are NOT even paying ENOUGH in taxes,
WHY are the RESIDENTS of the GREAT STATE of NH NOT doing more about
this!!????
This is not just something that affects the town of Bethlehem
This HURTS the state of NH as well as others!!!!
It affects the air we breathe, the soil, the groundwater
For example, when people do not recycle their cans, and they up in a
landfill, and they get incinerated, the ASH from the cans, seeps into
the soil, contaminating the groundwater (I believe with LEAD & MERCURY)
As a result of the LANDFILL GASES & everything they do, the fish along the
NH coast as well as the coast of Maine are ALL
affected!So, THIS AFFECTS
EVERYONE for many years to come!
I am sure that the CANCER CLUSTERS there are DUE to this LANDFILL
& its QUESTIONABLE practices!!!!
So, WHY are the GREAT people of New Hampshire, not doing more
about this!!??????
It is NOT just Betlehem's problem, it is a problem that hurts
EVERYONE!
And I wanted to have a garden.............
And the ICING on the CAKE the company involved,
brings TRASH from different states!!!????
WHY???WHY????
Bottom line, not only do we all need to RECYCLE MORE!!!
But PEOPLE need to get ANGRY about this & FIGHT IT!!!!!
If you DO NOT, the STATE will end up with more companies like this one,
because they see how this one is getting away with murder!!!!!
COMET, sorry to take over your thread, but since we were talking
about BETHLEHEM, and it is a shame, since its such a quaint, cute
beautiful town, with the exception of that HORRIBLE LANDFILL!!
OK, I am DONE for now....... PLEASE CONTINUE
and PLEASE ADD to this WONDERFUL thread, the NICEST
SMALL TOWN AMERICA IN the GRANITE STATE!
WITH GREAT CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS!!!
THANK YOU DARE TO DREAM for your contribution!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING COMET!
I LOVE THIS THREAD!
Take good care everyone!
Have a GREAT week!

Countrylv22 you are absolutely right!!!!! It is horrific how our state and federal government let these Huge Land fill Waste Management Companies bully pristine and beautiful small communities like Bethlehem NH. Personally I believe Waste Management Companies and other Land Fill conglomerates have pushed this Global Warming Diversion upon us in order to detract us from the poisons that they bury and dump each day within our Mother Earth! Very sad and yes we should all be outraged and write our representatives and most of all make certain which of our law makers are being bought and influenced by these land fill waste management lobbyists!
Our Planet's Fresh Water supply is severely endangered because of these greedy and reckless practices. It is time we all take charge and control of our vital natural resources and save our fresh water supplies. For starts we can write our representatives, call them and also local and national media requesting a ban on Plastic Shopping bags and other non recyclable manufactured goods. In other words if it cannot be recycled it should never be manufactured. And when they do come buy to do the weekly pick up of our garbage that "garbage should be driven to a recycle plant and not a land fill! Lastly one point to grow on. Absolutely all Land Fills Leak in to our fresh water supply!
