Hooooo boy.

I was born in Berlin (I'm 32) and spent a good chunk of my childhood up there. Have family friends up there but all my family from there are either dead or moved.

It's inexpensive. It's depressing.

Beautiful area and the OHRV vehicles on the road is helping. The mill being reopened as a biofuel plant has been good for the area, too.

I think it's slowly growing again, but.... Yeah. You gotta really have a reason to live there.

The depressing thing is Berlin, because parts are run down and high property taxes discourage investment in home improvement, Milan and Gorham aren’t glum like that.

Dover NH has a higher population than all of Coos county. I think it's going to take more than 20 years.

I admit that my perspective on Dover is locked in around 2005.
