Merrimack Sites & Legends

Hooligan of "Merrimack Sites & Legends," lives in Derry New Hampshire, and works in the law enforcement or security field. His favorite books shows a penchant for things that go bump in the night, and he is a fearless researcher of ghosts and other strange phenomena.

A spanking brand new blogger, he began posting in July of 2007, and is currently focusing on "haunted" cemeteries in southern New Hampshire.

In addition to his personal experiences in the locations he describes, he includes some great photographs, and also a bit of history.

Are these places really haunted? Hooligan helps you decide. A supernatural "must see." Besides, Janice of Cow Hampshire thinks he may just scare you.

Blitzburg New Hampshire

The blogger at Blitzburg New Hampshire goes is a Steeler Fan living in New Hampshire. The subheadline states "Let's wave those Terrible Towels."

This NH Steeler fan is looking for dialog and hoping to pump up some fans in the Granite State. They seem to know what they are talking about... but being sports-challenged myself, I'm certainly not the one to comment on that part :D


Hey, stop by and leave your two cents, or at least wave a terrible towel!

Kurious Kitty's Kurio Kabinet

Cat's aren't allowed in the library, but that doesn't stop the librarian at the Nesmith Library in Windham NH.

Diane Mayr's blog, "Kurious Kitty's Kurio Kabinet" is educational, but don't let that scare you. She is also very entertaining.

Do you know what an Espresso Machine is? (It has nothing to do with coffee). Did you ever see a Mercedes Beanz? Do you have post-Potter depression? Find the answers here.

Great reading, two thumbs up! (or more depending on how many thumbs you have).

A Dog-Eared Town

Paul is a mid-30s guy who lives in the Hooksett/Manchester NH area, and he is a prolific blogger at "A Dog-Eared Town." He has a wife named Lisa, and a cat named Siofra (wait--maybe that is Lisa's cat).

I especially enjoy Paul's "Your Tax Dollars At Work" series, which covers usually New Hampshire's nonsensical proposed laws, and unusual debates going on in our state legislature. (Have pity on 'em Paul, they don't have air conditioning).

Paul has a sharp wit and keen observation skills. He can spot a redneck taking his girl on a date in a dump truck from two miles away, and a change in the Dow Jones from even further away.

Intriguing reading.

Bride Buzz

New Hampshire Magazine presents an "everything-bridal" blog at Bride Buzz. Barbara Coles, Erica Thoits, Shannon Spiliotis and Cindy Kibbe each present brief articles to help real and potential brides make decisions about their nuptials.

Questions they ask (and sometimes answer) include: can wedding attire be too casual? How to save wedding items as memorabilia? What kind of gifts are appropriate for your bridal party? How do you have a Green Wedding (and they don't mean the bride wears green!)

So, if you are getting married, or know of someone who is, you should point them over to this blog. The best part--the advice would apply for ANY bride, not just the ones living in New Hampshire.

Drew Cline

Drew Cline, the editorial page editor at the Union Leader has a blog (aptly named after himself).

So far his posts are primarily focused on sports and politics, and since I am challenged in both of those arenas, I decline to comment on whether he blogs on either topic well (or not).

Apparently he will be posting a weekly presidential primary report from New Hampshire on Politico.com.

He seems like a guy to watch.

Art Esprit

Susan Larochelle, a Rochester New Hampshire artist, gallery owner, teacher, and curator, has been presenting her blog, Art Esprit, on the topics of:
"Muses & Rants About Fine Art, Craft and Design" since November of 2005.

At first personally newsy, her blog has slowly but surely been converted into an intriguing space that includes some amazing artwork in various medium, from watercolor to wearable.

I'm a person who enjoys buying unusual (but beautiful) creations for folks on my buying list, and the links on this blog certainly provide me with a
great deal to choose from. Some of the links go to her online shop and gallery, Artstream LLC.

What can I say? I encourage readers to support New Hampshire artists, especially when their creations are so awe inspiring.
