A blip on the map - 4/19/2010
A great place for freaks, weirdos, stoners, hippies, lesbians, criminals on the run and people from MA with second homes. Ever wonder where Shaggy from Scooby doo lives this is the place.
Yes the crime level is low but drugs are a big problem here that they don't report.
There are no Jobs here just take a look in the local paper on a Sunday "The Valley News".
Winters are brutal if you don't like the cold forget coming here, if you don't do the winter sports thing like Skiing you will spend 3 months + stuck inside.
House prices are very high for whats here also the same with utilities.
Near by Hanover NH is great if you're a poser with extra cash.
I can't wait to get out of here and back to civilization.
Good riddens WRJ.

Great place to be an unemployed stoner or on disab - 2/1/2010
WRJ is a void just like Lebanon. Simply put, if you want to live near NOTHING and pay just for the luxury of living 'near' a road in Hanover, NH because "Dartmouth" is there, please come here.
#1--There aren't any jobs here.
#2--You see the weirdest people walking around. Half the people in WRJ are either unemployed or stoners or both.
#3--Hang near the Courthouse downtown and see those who are down and out.
There is very little to do here. Drugs are 'all over' and you can look at the mountains and count your pennies.
The recession has hit this place hard. The few jobs in the Upper Valley are non-existent. People will tell you to be glad you work in a supermarket with a degree.
Prices are high thanks to Dartmouth/Dartmouth and the students/professors/medical staff.
What do you get for such high rents/house prices?
Nothing.
