I moved to Keene four months ago (April 4). Not long after arriving, I wrote a blog post on FR33gents.com titled “I’m Finally Home!”
Since moving to Keene, I’ve added more activism and activities to my plate. In late May, I threw my hat in the ring for Cheshire County Register of Deeds and in June I began blogging for FreeKeene.
Someone on facebook asked “What are your opinions about Keene, so far?”
Overall, Keene is nice small city. I’m originally from a much larger city and had planned to settle in Manchester, however I decided to stay in Keene. As with every place, there are pro’s and con’s and I will do my best to list my opinions without being too harsh or critical.
Pro’s
High concentration of freedom minded people
There is almost always an event
Most places in Keene are within walking distance
Anyone looking for work can find work!
There are many other reasons posted here
Con’s
Most of the activism is planned and carried out by a small handful of people.
Most activists will either do only in-the-system and outside-the-system activism.
Keene’s only art museum is on the college (which I’m banned from).
I work an hour away from Keene. I realize I could look for other employment, which is something I may do shortly.
All in all, I’m happy with my decision to move to Keene and hope to continue participating in both in-the-system and outside-the-system activism.
