I’m probably in the background of someone’s TikTok at animal kingdom, giving them a dirty look while they did some stupid dance in front of the tree of life.

That’s funny! I think I knew a sociology major. She lived in the Owls nests and I had a crush on her big time. Also had a crush on a gothic girl, think her name was Amanda. She commuted. I had a parking pass and my Jeep was broken into and they stole my GPS. I was a biology major.

Keene totally made me loose the college experience. I transferred out to Merrimack College so I could commute. What was your major? I didn’t interact with too many people there but in 08-09 I was in Huntress Dorm and 09 I was in Fiske? I think.

Yea I lived on campus for that year and a half. Took forever for student services to transfer me to a new dorm room halfway through since my room mate didn’t understand what personal hygiene was.

I was there for a year and a half back in 08-09’ and transferred out. Has a helluva time trying to do so too!

Eh. Doesn’t surprise me. Keene was a crap school anyway. Although, their dining commons really wasn’t all that bad when I was there. Hoot N scoot was gross though.

I had a friend work there around 2006, when we were in high school. Are you an 06’ graduate?

I just saw it today at the Londonderry Market Basket.

I posted this question a while and got an estimate! Tree Line in Derry is coming at the end of February to remove four, 80 foot pine trees and a small poplar. They’re also clearing brush. Two of the pines are down a slope and can’t be removed so their guys will climb it and drop it. Two others are on septic fields.

Cost will be $3500.

Now now. Kmart is defunct.

Although Ames is making a coming back. Maybe they’ll come to Derry. 😂

It’s funny you say that because I feel like a lot of the older generation here would complain about that, making it a “double edged sword”. They’ll complain that the apartments add to higher taxes because it puts strain on the school system and the amount of taxes that developers and complex owners pay is always way less than the value (because of all the abatements filed). I remember back in 2016 when I sat on a town committee I looked up the property taxes and values for some of the larger complexes like the fairways. They’re all owned by out of state entities that abate their taxes every year. They were still fighting 2011 taxes back in 2016. Granted these are also the same people that complain that Derry needs a “target or kohls” not understanding the fundamentals reasons why we will never, ever get additional big box stores.

That’s really what I was concerned about. From what I’ve heard some signs are rot, trees that have multiple leaders (when a tree splits. Another Redditor arborist called it codominent leaders”); and maybe excessive leaning? A lot of the trees though that feel around here looked to be healthy pines. So I dunno.

Seems to be the consensus that prices are all over the place. I suppose I’ll call and get quotes. Two of the pines I might not even have them remove fully because of where they are. Maybe just bring them down enough to not be affected by wind.

That’s not a terrible price. I think the height and location of the pines might hurt the price a bit.

As long as it’s not another bank or storage facility. The problem with Derry is location. A lot of bigger businesses won’t come here because of the awkward location off 93. Exit 4A is supposed to alleviate this but I’ll believe it when I see it. You wouldn’t believe how much developable land is in the area of Robert Frost farm and clam haven - but it’s not easily accessible for businesses to be profitable (hence the storage facility and bank debate)

I’ve been trying for years to get my wife to open her dream of a bakery/ coffee shop. Many years ago we tried to approach the landlord in the old blackberry bakery shop and the guy was a dick. She’s gonna try and do it from home first before anything (at least the baking thing). We have Carinas here in Derry but I personally don’t like her stuff.

I feel like Eversource always does this though. If you’re in SNH it’s likely just gonna be wind and rain.

My condolences. That’s outrageous. East Derry I assume? It seems like they got hit the hardest. We went up by 100k in Derry, near the windham border.

I was shocked to see the tax rate dropped to $19 and change. I was expecting a drop but not that large. Luckily with the revals we broke somewhat even. Some people here got hit with almost a $200k in revaluation.

Wow. That’s gotta be because of the revaluations. Are you in Derry or a high tax town?

Southern NH. Taxes actually remained the same surprisingly. Maybe a slight increase of 30 dollars.

Maybe a little late here but what about the greater Derry humane society? They’re on Bringing Derry Together.

Trying to mentally decompress after being laid off yesterday. Leaf blowed a bit and let the kids help.
