Oh Guys, It's just me

Hello, my name is Patrick Wolber and I have been sober for... (redo.)

I'm P. Wizzle and I'm from Nashua, NH, which we all remember is Money Magazine's "Best Place Live"*. Naysayers--the kind of people who hate Nashua's finer establishments like FUNWORLD and PIZZACO and hate Nashua celebrities like Mandy Moore, Triple-H, and Mike O'Malley--have nicknamed my glorious city "Nausea" and "Trashua." But, I love it here. Demographically the city/suburb is rounding out; in the old days Nahua was a big mill town--like Lawrence--but heavily french canadian (Canuck, as my father calls it). Although still heavily white like many northern cities, the Hispanic, African American, and Asian populations have surged in recent years and conitue to rise; the city seems to be embracing it. There has always been an array of socio-economic classes represented but most of the more wealthy people move to Amherst and Bedford and Nashua is majorly lower-middle class. There is spirit in the town, but increasingly I feel like the town is selling out. I can't pinpoint it yet, but the population is on a steep incline and I feel like this place where I have lived all my life is changing and becoming more and more like thousands of little American subrurb cities. New Hampshirites are infamous (at least in New Hampshire) for being inhospitable and blunt--a Bode Miller type of people--but now the my Nashua seems to be yearning for attetion and loosing it's character.
