Letters to the Editor
Northern Exposure I have been tardy in commending you on your recent attention to things north of Concord. New Hampshire Magazine is really taking a look. That is great. The features on the Flower Farm, the Old Man and the Lupine Fest in May were all well done. I also enjoyed reading the trip from Lancaster to Franconia and the…
Hurt Yourself?
It’s a beautiful day. You’re on the ballfield, the mountain trail, the tennis court, doing what you love. And you’re hurting. What went wrong? “You probably are experiencing an overuse injury,” says Dr. Joe Bernard, a family practice physician, fellowship trained in sports medicine, at Exeter Hospital. Lynda Kuhne, physical therapist and director of the hospital’s outpatient rehabilitation program, adds,…

Andy's Summer Playhosue
“I hate children’s theatre.” Strange words from a man who runs a children’s theatre. But Bob Lawson hastens to amend: “I mean, I hate what often passes for children’s theatre — condescending, contrived and simplistic.” Andy’s Summer Playhouse is none of those things. It’s creative, dynamic and frequently challenging. Its plays are all original, and they don’t shy away from…
Sacred Cow Hampshire
A few years ago I wrote a piece about the cash machine known as the New Hampshire presidential primary. The next thing I knew I was being told off by campaign consultants, high-level politicos and media people — the very folks who punch their PINs into the primary ATM every few years. It made me realize that, for a state…
The Greatest
We’ve been publishing our Best of NH list in some form or the other as long as I’ve worked for this magazine and, over that past decade and a half, the process has taught me a lot of little things and at least two big ones. The big things are: 1. People love to be appreciated and 2. People love…
Beauty and the Bait
We begin on New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee, at the end of a long-gone day in the summer of our boyhoods, when a whispered promise at supper from Dad to “go out later and catch a few” was always the beginning of a great adventure. As a son-kid, any post-bedtime secret mission with Pop was tantamount to forbidden fruit-picking, and having…
Lovin’ Lobster
When King James grabbed a little bit of coastline from the Massachusetts Bay Colony so New Hampshire could have a seaport, he unwittingly added to the state’s culinary horizons. Lobster was hard to transport inland, and wasn’t even on the coastal menu back then unless you were a prisoner or couldn’t afford anything better. Now, our blatant love for lobster…
Masters of Fire
Fireworks have been used for celebrations a very long time — 2,000 years to be exact. But just imagine if the ancient inventors of fireworks (whether it was the Chinese or Spanish is a matter of dispute) could see a fireworks display today, especially a particularly spectacular one that takes place in New Hampshire each year. It even amazes the…
