Weare NH Stand Up

One of the interesting things about Souter's annoucement to step down is that a prime reason for him doing so is to return to the 603. The way the national press always frames NH and his decision is pretty hilarious. From the WSJ Law Blog;

A story in Monday’s NYT takes a look at the town he longs to return to — Weare, N.H., a simple and unadorned place. “A lot of people would live up here and hate it,” said Wilbur A. Glahn, a lawyer who has known Justice Souter since 1975. “But David has got a real love for the people and the land and the simple things here. I’m not sure I know a lot of people who are more connected to a place than he is. It’s a very strong, kind of visceral feeling that he has.” In this Washington Post story, folks in Weare report that Souter may someday write a history of the town.
