Only in Rochester, New Hampshire: 25 Moments that Say ‘Yup, I’m Home’

I love a little hometown pride! I, myself, am born and bred from Leominster, Massachusetts. If I meet someone out in the wild who also hails from Lemon-Town we have an instant kinship and connection. It's so much fond to bond about the things that make your hometown unique; the good, the bad, and the hilarious!

I've done morning radio in New Hampshire for almost 9 years and if there is one thing I have noticed, it is the people of Rochester, New Hampshire, have ALOT of inside jokes. I don't like when I am not in on the jokes so I decided to join the  "You KNOW you're from Rochester, NH if you..." Facebook page! It was very kind of the admins to let me be a member! It means the world to be an honorary Lilac City kid. "Does anyone know if Wendy's is open?" If you know, you know.

Awhile back a member named Gregg Joseph posted to the group, saying "You Know You are in Rochester When.." and the comments came barreling in like an unwanted blizzard at the beginning of April. Some folks had positive things to contribute, some negative, and others hilarious. Rochester is in a stage of reinvention, and in my opinion, they are doing a hell of a job! Downtown is looking awesome, and the restaurant scene is out of this world. Revolution has a Michelin star chef. Portsmouth better watch its back!

I picked my 25 favorite comments and curated this list for you. I'd like to thank the fine members of the "You KNOW you're from Rochester, NH if you..." Facebook page for delivering this content on a silver platter.
