Prior to the gas price increases, driving the family car costs $.50 per mile, average. Today, Mom and Pop stores aren't a bad deal—they offer next-door convenience and keep the cozy New Hampshire character that brought many of us here in the first place.

Hence the word

New Jersey isn't "all I-95 and refineries"—I agree; but compare NJ's "wild" areas with NH's "wild" areas.

1) That Weirs sign (a Winnipesaukee-welcome for many folks, I understand
) went
up before I-93 went
in. Massachusetts was a far, far, bigger player before the Interstates.
2) The obnoxious signs (and honky-tonk) are designed to attract the attention of new customers: license plates from which state are most commonly seen?
(Besides Florida, that is. 
)
