Littleton NH, which for those who don't know, is accessed by Rt 93, exits 41, 42, or 43, and is an easy 45 minute and very scenic drive from exit 23 in the Lakes Region. Just a few feet away from the Ammonoosic River and its' trout habitat, the neighborhood includes a Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Hannaford's, and Lowes, plus about 20 other stores and car dealers. What used to be a grassy meadow close to the river on the north side of Littleton has become a Vermont-New Hampshire shopping mecca. Vermont only has one or two Wal-Marts in all of Vermont, and rumor has it that tax agents from Vermont patrol the parkng lot at Home Depot on the lookout for Vermont vehicles loaded up with appliances and building materials so they can be detained for the Vermont sales and use tax when they return home.

Other than Littleton's big box store area, the North Country is very rural and is still a different type of a place than 'below the notches.

Well.....hey......that new Wal-Mart Super Center in Gorham, with the two-story high ceiling, hasn't opened yet......it's 'only' under construction, but still up-north is a way rural, olde Cow Hampshire.
