Overdoses have to be a big factor in the "unintentional injuries" bucket. No one talks about it enough but CT has a series overdose pandemic going on, in particular, New Haven county. Most of these people go unnoticed or are estranged with their family so there are rarely any media stories on them. The big factor is the esplosion of fentanyl. Fentanyl is the real pandemic out there.

I'm just scratching the surface here:

J.J. Foley's in downtown, J.J. Irish Pub & Grill in Dot, Blarney Stone in Dot, Eire Pub in Dot, Criac in Quincy, Darcy's Pub in Quincy, Brendan Behan Pub in JP, Biddy Early's in downtown, Amrhein's in Southie, Hillside Pub in Canton

None of these are tourist traps, except for maybe Eire Pub. Hillside is my favorite.

There is no data or even quality of any data so why make it look like there are quantitative figures behind this map. It is clearly just someone's opinion of a perception of a broad region. And if you have no data, at least make it funny.

And what does the category "smart" mean? So what this is saying is that there are no smarts across the U.S. but the Northeast has just a little?

Cause NH is pro-business. It is very competitive nationwide for winning private businesses to move their operations up there. I used to do this type of work in a previous life. VT is slowly starting to realize this economic opportunity around its Burlington area (mainly Williston). Also, NH is technically part of the Northeast "mega-metropolis" which spans from D.C. all the way to Manchester.

Many people are ignorant with how great of a state NH is. Its got freedom, natural beauty, higher educated people, tons of recreational activities, easy access to airports and major cities, and pro-business. Once all my kids are done with schools in MA, I'm outta here.
