95) it's the arts and entertainment capital of the state
i know that one is pretty general, but it's true! having lived here my whole life, i can confidently say that portsmouth truly has the best and most diverse arts and entertainment scene in the state. ive been involved in the music scene for awhile, and there is no place in the state i would rather be for that purpose. i think that for some reason a lot of out of staters have dismissed portsmouth as too liberal or something...personally, i don't see how too liberal is any worse then too conservative. there are a lot of freedom-related issues in portsmouth that residents would get behind...there are a lot of anti-war, pro-marijuana reform, pro-gay marriage etc type people here. yes, these people are also mostly socialists, but that's only because they are confused. if we can bring a positive message of anti-aggression and freedom to portsmouth, i think that people will certainly respond.
