Since 1958 the Monadnock Shopper News has been connecting the people of this region with local businesses on a weekly basis. They deliver to over 40,000 households via postal mail - basically every home in Cheshire county. How exciting to see a feature article about local bitcoin-accepting businesses here in the Keene area as their headline, front cover story in this week's issue!
The Shopper News' reporter went to visit with Chris Rietmann, one of the proprietors of Route 101 Local Goods, a unique store featuring locall-sourced products that's also where bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) can be spent, plus bitcoin can be purchased from the region's only Bitcoin Vending Machine, and you can even buy delicious Vietnamese food from the "Bon Vivant Gourmet Street Food" truck parked just outside at 661 Marlboro Road in Keene.(html comment removed: more)
Ed Forster of Little Zoe's Take and Bake Pizza and Ken Urbanski of Kirby's Q in Alstead were also interviewed in the front-page piece. The bitcoin-accepting business owners commented on their interest in Bitcoin while Rietmann explained important aspects of what makes Bitcoin special. Rietmann is frequently seen introducing new users to it in his shop, since his store has the Bitcoin Vending Machine which makes buying it a snap.
The article even lists a bunch of local businesses in the area (ranging from food to sports to car repair) that accept bitcoin! Keene, as you may already know, is the undisputed city with the most bitcoin-accepting businesses per capita, per coinmap.org.
You can read both pages of the Shopper's feature article on bitcoin even if you don't live in the area, by downloading this PDF.

Keene, NH is #1 because we have libertarian bitcoin activists moving here to help. If that describes you, you should join us. Here are 101 reasons you should consider a move to NH: http://101reasonsfilm.com

Ya gotta hand it to the grassroots movement in New Hampshire (particularly guys like @ftlian et al) who really are making their mark and helping to fundamentally change things down there for the better.
I'm definitely more persuaded than ever about making the move to NH. (but w/ my roots deeply planted here in central Canada, it unfortunately won't happen anytime soon.)
All the best to you folks in NH. I really hope you actually do get to secede.
