In response to The Owl Pellet‘s brilliant article, I give you my answer:

Real Estate company Movoto ranked the 30 largest New Hampshire towns and cities in seven different criteria, and determined that Keene was the third best place in New Hampshire!
The criteria included: total amenities, quality of life, crime rate and tax rates, among other factors.
Movoto says, “The city is a bit of a haven to students, offering them an impressive 12 to 1 student-teacher ratio and some great summer temperatures to enjoy the time off of school. If people are past school-aged, that’s fine too, as the place boasts the fifth-best unemployment rate at only 4.3 percent.
As far as things to do, Keene doesn’t fall short. The number of amenities here rank sixth for that criterion.” (more…)

Keene held municipal elections on November 5, 2013. There were 10 candidates for At-Large City Council, with 4 of the 5 winners being current or former Councilors. Emily Hague is the only At-Large Councilor who is new to the Council. Kris Roberts received the most votes for At-Large City Council, and David Curran finished just 4 votes behind David Meader for the fifth At-Large spot. (more…)

Keene held a municipal primary on October 8 because a municipal ordinance says if there are more than 2 candidates for Mayor or a Ward Council seat, or more than 10 candidates for At-Large Council there shall be a primary. There were 11 candidates for At-Large council, so the City spent approximately $5,000 to remove 1 candidate from the general election ballot.
Ian Freeman survived the municipal primary for At-Large City Council, snagging the 10th ballot spot by a mere 10 votes over Bradford Hutchingson. (more…)
