Concord,
NH, doesn't seem like a state capital. Coming out of our car on an
October Saturday morning, a family of four smiled at us, drivers on
both sides of the road stopped their cars to let us cross the street,
and the typical urban noise levels of trucks, cars, blaring music, road
repairs, crazy street people and the like were virtually non-existent.
In our hour there, we heard no one swear and not one person we saw wore
strange body piercings. For a moment, Concord seemed quieter than our
small-town Massachusetts hometown.
We enjoyed a moment of urban
tranquility in front of the New Hampshire State House. This magnificent
building was designed in 1814 in a Greek Revival style and features a
huge shining golden dome, bull's eye window and golden eagle. The
surrounding 2.6 acres of grounds are perfectly manicured with statues
of Daniel Webster, General John Stark, John P. Hale, and Franklin
Pierce. The surrounding historical buildings and the rest of Main St.
create a nice place for a leisurely walk with brick sidewalks and many
shops and restaurants. How different this state capitol is than the
constant barrage of city elements in Boston, MA, or Hartford, CT.
As the politics, no doubt, heat up inside the New Hampshire State House
during an
election year, it sure was nice to have experienced a quiet respite
from the political -- and urban madness -- that often disrupt our peace
of mind. And here, we were right outside the state capitol building in
what is officially designated as a city and the state capitol! What a
nice city Concord is, a place we plan to come back to explore!

The Tilt'n Diner serves four star
food in a diner car setting (20 minutes from Concord, NH)
By Eric H.
The Tilt'n Diner is a four
star caliber restaurant in a 1950s diner car setting. What a great
combination!
Try
the homemade turkey dinner with all the "fixin's" and you'll wonder why
you spent twice the amount in some overrated urban restaurant. Sample
the tangy and ample macaroni and cheese and you'll understand how phony
the market brands are. Taste the seafood chowder and wonder if Rand
McNally possibly made a mistake and that the Town of Tilton is actually
on the Maine seacoast. Other standout dishes include the wonderful
homemade meatloaf dinner, a high end restaurant caliber caesar salad, a
flavorful and abundant tuna melt and, as a side, perfectly formed
french fries. The Tilt'n Diner serves breakfast, lunch and dinner under
lots of neon within two dining rooms and the classic diner car-- all
set to the background music of the Elvis Presley, the Coasters, Five
Satins, Buddy Holly and other 1950s stars. It is the "feel good"
restaurant of New England, enhanced by a friendly, sometimes
wisecracking waitstaff and absolutely marvelous food.
Top off your meal with some
delicious blueberry pie, moist carrot cake or a sinful mud pie and
you'll leave the Tilt'n Diner wishing that they would franchise into
every community in the United States. They haven't franchised, however,
so the next time you're in a 50 mile radius of Tilton, make sure you
experience the Tilton Diner. It is indeed a true gem.
