I've been to Keene several times, but not in the last few years. It is such a pretty town, and I always enjoyed visiting there. Unfortunately I see they always vote Democrat in presidential elections. Pretty sad. NH seems to be going over to the left. I hope they don't get as bad as VT.
Sorry, you're too late - Keene is already as bad as Vermont - every time we go through there - it seems like there's a crowd of smelly, birkenstock wearing, stringy haired senior citizens waving peace-queer posters or supporting Al-Jareeza or complaining about gun control while they stand around the square in the middle of main street.
Keene State College in Keene is extremely PC. Someone I know was interviewed for a faculty job there. He was interrogated for 45 minutes on his commitment to diversity and tolerance by the school's "social equity" office. The clear implication was that if he was unwilling to support campus gay rights and other groups, he wouldn't be accepted there and wouldn't get tenure.
Too bad the place is flooded. He's probably glad he didn't get the job.
