John

What brings you to Hanover? Today I’m just doing some everyday shopping. I live in Thetford. I grew up in Massachusetts, but my family owns property down in Lake Sunapee so I’ve been coming up to this area pretty much my whole life. I moved up here about seven years ago.
What’s your favorite thing to do in the winter? Wait for baseball season to start.
What’s your favorite part about living in the Upper Valley? Less people. I like less people.

Lindsay

What brings you to Hanover? I’ve lived in the area my entire life. I always stay around here. I started working at Molly’s about seven years ago.
What’s your favorite thing to do in the winter? Snowboarding. I mostly go to [Mount Sunapee Resort] but I’ve also been to the Dartmouth Skiway a couple times.
What’s your favorite part about living in the Upper Valley? There’s a lot to do and everyone’s very friendly around here.

Melissa

What brings you to Hanover? I opened Lemon Tree Gifts four months ago and I moved here six years ago from New York City. My husband was here in the Upper Valley so I moved up here after we got married.
What’s your favorite thing to do in the winter? You know, I’m so preoccupied with the business that I don’t do much. In New York, I loved going to movies and going to restaurants, but right now it’s all about the business.
What’s your favorite part about living in the Upper Valley? I love living in Hanover! It was certainly an adjustment moving here from New York City but it’s home now and feels right.
