(Jun 3, 2000)
Great little city north of Boston MA. Setlled in 1630's, I decided to move here about a year ago. My aim was to get out of the insanity of the "Big Dig" in Boston. Portsmouth has quickly become a home for me. It has many resteraunts, shops, Pubs and sits on the Atlantic Ocean. There is a thriving art community here with many play houses and artists, there is also a community of high tech that is trying to set up roots here.
The History of Portsmouth in a little unsavoury but the people here relish in it. Being an old shiping port, there were many brothels. The shipyard remains but the red light district has disapeared. The locals love to point out where it was located and many plaques pointing out locals of Ill repute glimmer through out. Strawberry Banke ,the location of the old red light district,has now been revamped. Many of the old house still remain. Some in disrepair many have been restored to there original splendor.
The population of Portsmouth tends to swell in the summer especially on the week ends when the people from Massachusetts and Maine come to visit. It is realy a great city to visit or to call home.
