The women I dealt with must of been out to get people this day- before I was ready to be seen she sent 2 other people away in not a nice way. Obviously I was her next victim. Honestly if you don’t like your job find another or maybe retire!

I called a number of Clerk's offices in NH for my marriage licence, they were mostly rude, worked short hours or didn't answer at all. The employees at City Clerk's office in Keene however, are polite, informative and genuinely nice people to deal with in person.

Fuller's parking in the back system is stupid and nobody can really use the road when a million idiots backup into North st. Idk when this started or who stupidly had the idea that pickups should happen on the playground side of the building but it's stupid. In the old days they used the front of the building the elm St side. Also should be a limit as to how many cars can show up at a time. This is a safety risk way things are done now. I'm tired of trying to come home and have to worry about being hit by someone trying to go opposite direction while I'm trying to go the other. Seriously why are people so stupid? Common sense is you don't block a road just because you need to pick someone up. Don't they have buses for that???????? Also where is the metal spider? Been there since at least 95'

Don't understand why they're ruining drummer hill. Thought it was conservation land. Why do we need more houses? Only rich older people can probably afford them. Also what's going on at fuller hope they aren't replacing both playgrounds. Idk why people need to ruin everything like the conservation land. I hated it when they did that on court st years ago when that area also used to be woods same with the middle school. If the Washington St address was supposedly not up to code than why is the space still being used???? Doesn't make sense to me.

So you guys know; apparently you can't park your car in the grass at the park Ave cemetery because some random dude that works for the city will question you. I understand if there have been problems in the past with suspicious behavior in the cemetery but not everyone who decides to park their car there is up to no good. A city worker approached me and asked me what I was doing and I answered him honestly. I was sitting there looking for peace and quiet trying to kill time until I go to an appointment at three pm. I know he was only being cautious and that's totally fine but I just hope he knows I wasn't doing anything other than sitting in my car and watching videos on my phone. (Please check this out guys btw)
