There are many benefits and downsides to living in my town. We have access to one of the largest high schools in the country, but the elementary schools are dismal halls of dilapidated brick with outdated books and electronics. Houses are way too expensive for most people to afford, and companies care more about building huge fancy houses for the wealthy than affordable housing for the ever-shrinking middle class. Every day, the class divide becomes more apparent. The "bad" sides of town are covered with cracked pavement and have drug dealers lurking on every corner, while the wealthy enjoy their upscale lake houses. But hey, it could always be worse.
I would love to tell everyone how amazing Derry is but then everyone would want to live here! So I won't tell you all the great points (I'm limited in characters anyway) but I will tell you the most important (imho)! We have an exceptional setup when it comes to emergency services. Our fire department is well-recognized for various achievements and is constantly striving to become even better through education, training and various national distinctions. Our police department does a great job of protecting the town including our very own Pinkerton Academy which has a multi building setup that rivals many colleges. We have the small town feel, big city services and close proximity to malls, airports, and leisure opportunities like the White Mountains.
I've lived in Derry for several years and have nothing bad to say about this town. There is everything you could want in a town, including a movie theater and close access to the highways so you can quickly go north to visit the White Mountains! Something I would like to see changed it the number of chain restaurants. We do have some small mom and pop businesses but it would be nice to support more small-town families rather than chain restaurants.
