Free Keene is the name of a group of free staters (or at least people who describe themselves as libertarians, voluntaryists, and "anarcho"-capitalists) who live in Keene NH and participate in libertarian-oriented activities in the town. These activities include smoking weed in the town common, standing in front of police cars, walking naked in public, illegally parking their cars, refusing to pay taxes, standing outside the local high and middle schools screaming, "School sucks!" in an attempt to persuade students to drop out of school, drinking beer in court, and participating in the black market/"agorism" as attempts to either remove "victimless crime" laws or for the sole purpose to defy the laws. According to a February 2011 report on WMUR-TV, Free Keene's civil disobedience tactics are mostly hated by Keene residents, who deem them as offensive. The report also informed viewers that each keeniac stay in jail costs the town $100 per day in taxes. Last time I was in Keene I saw members of Free Keene holding a nudie sit-in to protest state obscenity laws.

A boring little white college town where everything closes early and the people go to sleep, with the exception of two bars. The residents are sheltered and stuck in their ways. A town where the amount of students who aren't white in the local high school can be counted on two hands. A town that lost the only thing it had to Boston (a world record regarding lit pumpkins), o wait, they still have Jumangi (it was filmed there) Keene, NH, it's in Cheshire county, about an hour from everything

| 4. | Concord NH | ||
|
The capital of New Hampshire, located 20 miles north of Manchester. Known for its old New England-style elegance, affordable housing (compared to most of the state), French and Greek restaurants, and frequent Free State Project activist activities. It may not be as rich as Windham or Bedford but it sure as hell ain't full of tacky mcmansions. It may not be as exciting as Manchvegas or Boston but it's not a trash-fest like most other New England cities. Also known to many as the halfway point between Boston and the White Mountains. Concord NH: a sweet blend of class, libertarianism, culture, diversity, intelligence, city, and frontier.

| 5. | Laconia | ||
|
The most beautiful city (or large town) in New Hampshire. A stone throw away from the lakes, an hour away from the mountains, fills up with tourists during the summer and winter months. And it's too far north to be a run-off of Boston like every other city in NH. Manchester kid: Ooooooo Manch is sooooooo cultural and is the best city in NH!
Laconia kid: You've obviously never been up north to Laconia. We pronounce our r's and our city is definitely NOT a haven for trashy bostonian tax refugees. |

| 7. | Home Now | ||
|
A 4 member band from Keene NH, that has recently broke up. They're music ranged from acoustic, to more hard rock sounds that were catchy and easy to listen to. While they were a band, they managed to get half a CD recorded (but not finished), one tour, many shows around New England, and a nice fan base.
