“Surprisingly friendly poor people”

Astonishingly accurate.

You know, I've never met anyone unfriendly in Claremont per se. I have watched a person buy meth from a bartender right over the bar and witnessed complete disregard for the sanctity of the Cumbies coffee counter on a daily basis, but everyone seems friendly enough.

That’s just normal life anywhere. Pretty much every bar has an employee that’s a drug dealer and people are disgusting everywhere.

What’s unusual is how friendly people are here. It’s not just Claremont though, people are that way throughout the entire upper valley.

It's the disregard for the Cumbies coffee etiquette that upsets me

Was thinking “surprisingly unfriendly poor people” is the most accurate.

At first glance, I thought that was sort of centered over the triangle that’s created by Tamworth, freedom and Ossipee and I thought “yeah that checks out“ because culturally it’s very similar to Western Maine and the Maine Lakes region But I realize now it’s further south. And I can’t really make a comment because I’ve never really spent any time in that area. I’m guessing Rochester…???
