There comes a time in every young man's life when he embarks upon the seemingly elongated journey…read moretoward becoming a legally licensed driver. Today would have marked the conclusion of such for my son. Alas, they don't usually schedule the road test the same day as the computer exam. Ya know, up front - that's my only main complaint about NH's DMV (so far). Apparently, they're so short staffed or whatever...that they can't do as most states have and still do - road test same day, so long as the driver passes their general knowledge test. Pedantic lamenting aside, however, this place is....efficient enough. I mean, this isn't even remotely the first time I've been here. Come to think of it, I found it peculiar I had somehow never written a review for the NH DMV till now. Huh! So anyways, I actually first visited this place 3 years ago when I applied for my own state license. First thing of note is they do not print licenses here. They send away for the actual final copy which takes anywhere between 5 to 8 weeks to receive. Pretty ridiculous, if you ask me. It's 2024, yet we still can't find a more efficient way to quickly distribute licenses. Considering how much paperwork is required to even apply for one of these things, you'd think the distribution process would be stellar. I've met pigeons who deliver mail faster. *sigh* But, I digress. How would I improve this facility? Allow applicants to schedule both their general knowledge and road test for the same day ahead of time. Making folks inexorably visit this place TWICE just to complete a licensing process for a new driver makes NO sense! They even take the kid's photo for the license immediately after passing the knowledge test. At that point, they're like....75% of the way complete towards being a fully fledged licensed driver anyway. Do these people hate the O-Zone layer or something?! On some positive notes, the facility itself is well organized, clean, accessible, and easy enough to get to. I only wish licensing didn't take the length of time it takes for Mercury to orbit the sun. It's solely for that reason....that I must give the DMV of Nashua 3 eager teens impatiently awaiting receipt of their driver's license out of 5.

This was before I could get a number and sit down, even though there were plenty of chairs. Every other DMV office I have ever visited has given you a number upon arrival; you didn't have to wait in line to get one. It takes over a month to get an appointment, and that wasn't an option for me because I had lost my license. All five stations had vision testers, but only one station did vision tests. You had to undergo a vision test before you could get a number and take a seat. I am a senior and was uncomfortable standing for such a long time. Additionally, I couldn't read my book, and I was growing increasingly angry. Everyone else in line was angry, too. And it was unnecessary because the other four people could have done the vision tests when they were taking your money and photographing you. The manager should be fired.

This library is the best thing Pepperell has to offer, full stop. It is the greatest asset of our…read morecommunity. There is the obvious providing of information to the public that is a necessity in civilized society. They also stand up against the book-burning crowds in our society, you know, the type of people who want a repeat of 1939. The library isn't just a pillar of the community, they are the foundation of it. They offer many groups, and if you want something to do, just look at their calendar on the library's website. You'll find plenty of groups on there and who knows, one might be of interest to you. It's a great resource all around, and also a beautiful building. It offers somewhere quiet to go, but it's not too quiet either. If you want to go hang out with friends and chat? Go to the lycuem and sit in the comfortable chairs there. You are allowed to talk in certain rooms, there are a couple quiet rooms too if you need somewhere to study, like the history room. The staff are all very polite and so if you want a quiet place, ask one of them and they will lead you to one. Definitely worth checking out and visiting.

What can I say? I love this town!…read more Now while I haven't moved to as many towns as restaurants that I have been to, I do have to say that Merrimack is one of the best that I have lived in! Town services are top-notch. When snow falls, the roads are clear to the pavement in record time. I can /always/ tell when I hit another city's demarcation line when suddenly I'm having issues with traction. Town Hall is also wonderful, the employees there are always respectful and appear to value your time. I have been there a multitude of times and apart from staff changes, it's always great. Bottom line, I'm happy with where my tax dollars are going. The schools are great, the city services are great, and the people that listen to my muttering about the cost to register my car are empathetic!

Once the stomping grounds of such intellectuals as Kerouac, Whistler and even Poe, for a time, the library is now mostly a tomb and a shrine to days gone by. This library is so spectacular though, it's part of the reason we moved here to begin with. The service is so-so by library standards (my mom was a librarian for 10 years, so I'm picky), and the computer search system is AWful, but you can just wander around in it like it's a giant old mansion and let the books find you. There are HUGE historical paintings on the main floor of old revolutionary stuff, plus a few artifacts from the bygone era. The library is also a memorial to fallen soldiers, and their hallowed names grace the walls and halls of the buiding and stairwells, casting a ghostly reverence on passers-by. Outside, it looks like some sort of gothic cathedral, complete with relief scuplture and some old cannons from our bloodied past. Inside, there are 5 floors of books, books and more books, plus the ghost of Jack Kerouac wandering around. Say hi if you see him. As libraries go, the audiovisual section is rather poor, but they have a huge children's section. Great place to take your kid on any rainy afternoon and let them delve into the depths of their own imagination. Here are some stats and info tidbits from their website: From its first collection of 3,500 volumes, the Pollard Memorial Library today houses a collection of approximately 236,000 volumes, plus videos, CDs, DVDs, microfilm collections and museum passes. Membership in the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium gives Lowell residents direct access to the holdings of 35 libraries in the region. Circulation of materials amounts to almost 250,000 annually, with approximately one-third of this activity occurring in the children's collection. Although the library as an institution was established in 1844, this building dates back to 1893, and it's still in great shape. The attention to detail regarding the interior (and exterior) ornamentation is breathtaking. Plus, they have on display the largest piece of porcelain to ever come out of Japan, in the form of a huge vase on the main stairwell. Park downtown or in a garage and walk, though, since the parking situation is pretty non-existent. There's a bus stop right in front, but don't be put-off. The main entrance is around the side for nwo, since the front doors are closed off for some reason. Also, they have weird hours, closing at 9 M-Th, but then at 5pm on Fri and Sat. See the website for more details on events, hours and library materials.
