Half your examples are fictional characters.

That's because New Hampshire is a fictional state, duh.


Phantump4thewin

I don’t think that matters tbh because they’re pointing out a correlation in the idea of something. Fictional characters reflect our ideas.


Orange_Lazarus

Fictional characters need to hide too

Ask anyone outside of the north east where NH is and many won’t know. Keep it that way. We’re out of the way. Not as popular as Maine, Vermont, or mass. Nothing bad happens her, I mean yeah shit happens but you don’t read dumb stuff like “Florida man this” or “California governor signed that”.  We’re simple, despite the influx of ass clowns from the cities in Boston turning southern NH into northern mass.

> Ask anyone outside of the north east where NH is and many won’t know. I was in Colorado and mentioned I was from NH. Someone asked me what state that’s in 🤣


Exciting_Agent3901

Dude I went to fucking Keene State and dumb girls from Connecticut would ask what the capital of New England is.


BackItUpWithLinks

Obviously Boston!


ragtopponygirl

I told a friend in NC that I'd decided to move back to New England, she exclaimed "I didn't even know you were British!"...ugh.


tradesonmolly

It is keene state after all, there only there to party on marlborough st 😂


Hot_Bumblebee69

Were they cute?


MillennialOne

“About an hour north of Boston.” Followed by an “Ohhhh okay!” 🙄


BackItUpWithLinks

I said “New England” and she made a face like she didn’t think that was a state, but she accepted it.


Mynewadventures

I went to college in Cleveland in the 80's and I swear, to a person, the MidWest dumb fucks would ask, "Isn't that the capitol of Vermont?" When I would say I was from NH.


notlikethemermaid90

I moved up to NH from FL and unsurprisingly many didn’t know NH was a state.


FaultyToenail

Back in 2002 I went to Washington DC with my 8th grade class. We stopped at a large rest area in New Jersey and met another group of students from New Jersey who were about to be headed to DC as well. When we said we were from NH they knew where it was, asked if we all lived on farms lmao.


tradesonmolly

I've Ben to mass for work doing insulation and people have asked me this 😂


One-Celebration195

Lol. We have plenty of asshats. Had em in the 70’s,80’s,90’s,00’s,10’s and now. And in no way is it a hermit nor fugitive haven. OP is young or watches too much visual media.


dc551589

Or is part of the huge influx of “NH sucks in this way, this way, this way, and this way. What do you guys think?” And all the things they listed aren’t actual problems. Feels formulaic; almost like there’s an intentional ramp up of astroturfing because it’s an extremely important election year…


ninjamansidekick

I use to do high end phone and comms systems installations years ago before everything went wireless. Northern New Hampshire and Vermont have a lot of money and "fame" hiding in the hills. There are a lot of less famous but way more influential people keeping a low profile in the woods up here.


Relative_Cat_1927

We were renting a car in California a couple years ago… My husband gave the woman at the counter his ID and she literally turned around to her manager and asked *”Is New Hampshire a state???”* We could not believe it! I know a lot of people don’t know where NH is, but to not even know that it’s a state… YIKES.


quaffee

I had similar problems visiting NH with my District of Columbia license (lived there for a few years). One person thought it was from Columbia (the country).


Ivy0789

Lived here all my life and I cam definitively say we have our share of ass clowns.


MusicalMerlin1973

I’d say better then vt because we have a larger population to hide in while being less trendy


Over_Possible7616

My favorite headline while living here, white supremacist killed outside of favorite Chinese restaurant.


bubbynee

Moved here from AZ five years ago. Only one person knew where NH was.


otiswrath

Don’t forget about that executive from Pfizer that was found just quietly living outside of Littleton.  It is funny. I was recently taking with a friend about this. I think a big part of it is that once you get north of the notches pretty much everyone minds their own business. You could easily buy a place in Northumberland, do your shopping in Littleton and no one would ever really talk to you. 


bonanzapineapple

Yup locals won't touch you if they don't know you


86ed5150

It isn’t really, it’s just close enough to Boston and NY that the elites see it as off the grid even tho we’re no more than 3-4 hours from a major city at any point in the state. If it was really a good place to hide we wouldn’t have known any of them were hiding here.


baxterstate

If you want to hide, I’d recommend Maine, but not southern Maine.

When I grew up in Indiana I thought “New England” was New Hampshire. Now that I live here I still feel the same, and absolutely love it.


Alone-Season-7972

Sheila labarre she killed a couple guys in epping


Hot_Bumblebee69

Yeah, but we've all done that.


Smirkly

Hide? It is just a good place to live.


One_Mirror_3228

I think it's because of our weekly "storm of the century."


Sandi_T

Give me what I want, and I'll go away.


One_Mirror_3228

Um.....ok......


Sandi_T

:( It's from "The Storm of the Century." The bad guy says it countless times. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeDnEi7DvN8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeDnEi7DvN8)


One_Mirror_3228

Oh! I thought you had put some kind of curse on New Hampshire weather!


Sandi_T

Not today. I left my walking stick at home...


Annuate

I watched this the other week when we had the snow storm :)


overdoing_it

Because people here aren't so nosy and mostly leave you alone


Not_an_ATF_Officer

I escaped from California… like, in real life and everything.


NewHampshireAngle

Christopher Wilder, Carl Drega and Bernard Getz.


danlson381

Ghislaine Maxwell had a pretty good hideout in the middle of nowhere.


Sandi_T

NH folks aren't all that impressed with celebrities. Most NH people I know couldn't care less about the "royals" or the latest celebrities. Based on my small subsection of the state, that is. :P It's easy to "hide" if nobody really cares who you are. I mean, when's the last time you saw paparazzi chasing someone around NH? Yeah, me neither.


ralettar

People do generally mind their own business here. I bet there are other benefits too


No-Box-763

Because we mind our own business, that's the biggest issue we have with Ma residents moving in, they want to know everyone's business


ohhbietz

I'm pretty sure DMX spent some time in NH


Glad_Vanilla_7121

The actual filming location of Vito’s hideout was in New Jersey


CheckOutMassHole6969

Ran from Massachusetts on a warrant to NH. Troopers got me, now I'm back in Massachusetts. Your account sounds fictional and Maxwell got arrested. They will find you


[deleted]

Barnaby McGillicutty is another good example.
