Hampton Beach Today

Was anyone else at the beach today? Holy hell. Have never seen anything like it in almost five decades of going there. 2 hours to get from South Hampton Campground exit to P Street on Ocean Blvd. The most chaotic, crowded, hectic, messy(in more ways than one) than I've ever seen it. When all was said and done it took me 3.5 hours to get out of the beach and onto 101. Might have been my last visit bc I'm too old for this shit.

Weird stuff in the sky at night lately? Look up at the sky.

I've been seeing a lot of strange things in the sky lately. I just saw what looked like a non blinking very bright light heading south towards Franconia notch from the Franconia/ Littleton side. I saw it at 10:10pm, May 19th, 2026.

I just wanted to get this out quick. I'll add more in the comments.

Lawmakers say head of youth detention center must go, citing ‘extreme failure of leadership’

“Lawmakers investigating recent abuse allegations at New Hampshire’s only state-run youth detention center are calling for the “immediate” replacement of its director, one in a list of sweeping recommendations released Tuesday.

The legislative committee began investigating operations inside the Sununu Youth Services Center in March, after the state Office of the Child Advocate reported the use of illegal restraints against children and a lockdown that spanned four to six weeks. The Disability Rights Center in New Hampshire has made similar allegations.”

PSA: Until 1977, the state covered 40% of teacher pensions. Republicans eliminated that subsidy in 2011–12, shifting the cost to local property taxpayers and driving a permanent 5.6% increase in total school budgets.

Assumptions:

  1. Salaries constitute 70% of total school budgets.

  2. NHRS costs the district 20% of each salary.

  3. Before 1977 the state subsidized 40% of each teacher salary.

70% × 20% × 40% = 5.6%

That means when the Republican house, and senate, and the Democratic Governor completely eliminated the state pension subsidy in 2011–12, they shifted a cost equal to roughly 5.6% of the entire school budget onto local property taxpayers.

Not a one-time hit. A permanent increase.

Can’t afford a house anywhere in the upper valley but Claremont and worried about school district

Okay so I’ve done my research and looked around and talked to some folks. I can’t afford a house in any town with the house requirements besides Claremont. I have 5 kids that are school aged and I am worried about sending them to school in Claremont. I’ve heard nothing but awful things about the Claremont School district. Awful stories on WMUR, newspapers, local independent news agencies in the state, Reddit posts too. I talked to people in Newport, Claremont, and Lebanon about the Claremont school district and nobody had anything good to say. I talked to some realtors and they said it’s not desirable for many.

Can someone please tell me if I need to actually be concerned about the Claremont school district? They must meet state and federal guidelines to operate schools right? As long as my kids don’t fall in the wrong crowd and do school work as assigned they will get a proper education right? Please tell me anything you know about the Claremont school district good or bad because I’m actually nervous sending my kids to any new school but this one in particular.

Need a mobile app for a small cleaning company in New Hampshire

hey everyone, looking for some advice before I start calling companies

I run a small cleaning business in New Hampshire. we’ve been around for about 4 years, mostly doing home cleanings, move out cleanings, and a few small office jobs

right now bookings come through phone calls, text messages, Facebook, and a basic form on our site. it works, but clients ask to change times, cleaners need notes, payments get checked manually, and sometimes I’m digging through messages just to confirm one job

I’m thinking about getting a simple mobile app built. nothing huge, just booking, cleaner schedules, job notes, payment status, reminders, and maybe a way for clients to leave special instructions

so I’m looking for a US based company that provides a mobile development service and can help with the first version without making it too complicated

location doesn’t matter much (but New Hampshire is preferred). I do care about fair pricing, normal communication, and a team that won’t disappear after launch

would appreciate hearing from anyone who hired a mobile app team before, what worked, what didn’t, and what you wish you asked at the start

[MISSING] Captin Trevor John Bilodeau.

Trevor John Bilodeau (known locally as Captain Trevor) has been missing from Clearwater, Florida since January 23, 2025. Despite being registered in federal missing persons databases, his case currently has zero mainstream media coverage.

Because his disappearance has completely slipped under the radar of local news desks, I am going to do my best to provide as much details as possible, while being respectful of those surrounding Trevor. That being said, the information provided is a combination of verified information (NamUs) and crowd sourcing. I believe this will be the first publicly accessible inspection of his case. Hopefully, Google's search engines will pick up flag words for anyone looking for this individual.

User Statement:

This post features a combination of verified information from NamUs, HOWEVER, due to the absolute desert of information provided from verified sources, a lot of this information is crowd sourced. This means it comes from Reviews, Newspaper clippings or articles, Instagrams, facebooks, white pages, and so on. I will do my best to make my sources clear so they may be appropriately peer reviewed.

Physical Description & Visual Identifiers

Age at Disappearance: 44 years old (Born August 21, 1980 / Current Age: 45 years old. (Namus, 2026)

Height & Weight: 5'8" to 5'11" tall / Medium build, 160–180 lbs. (NamUs, 2026)

Hair & Facial Hair: Bald or very closely shaved brown head / Prominent, distinctly graying goatee. (NamUs, 2026).

Signature Look: He spent his days out on the water and was rarely seen without a gray/blue "PFG" (Performance Fishing Gear) hat or a grey "The North Face" baseball cap, a thin black cord necklace, and clear-framed sunglasses with bright blue mirrored lenses. (Facebook, Reviews, Instagram, 2021-2024).

Trevor relocated to Pinellas county Florida in 2021, moving from the New England area. This date is provided by his Flordia voters registration. Trevor has life long connections to New England, graduating from the University of New Hampshire in May of 2010 (The Keen Sentinel, May 30, 2010). He attended Keen Highschool in Keen, New Hampshire, he was a part of the class of 99'.

In New Hampshire, Trevor Bilodeau was an active member of his community. Sometime around 2017(Unsure when this business started) he was the owner of "Wagging Tails" dog walking and pet sitting, a commercial service operating heavily across the Concord and Pembroke areas up until his relocation. He was well-known in regional animal welfare circles, including local animal shelter events. A photo in 2017 shows him and his son at the Manchester Animal Shelter's 2017 Mutt Strutt Event. I wasn't able to find a trustworthy source for this information but one source stated he was a local bartender in Concord as well.

Public Registries connect him to a few local neighborhoods;

-North Swanzey, NH: Wilson Pond Rd

-Pembroke, NH: 6th Range Rd / Cross Rd

-Nashua, NH: Newcastle Dr

-Leominster & Salem, MA: Princeton St / Heritage Dr

It's important to note that New Hampshire was not the only other state listed in his address history. I was able to find facebook comments where he discussed Vermont as well. He may also have stayed in Massachusetts and other surrounding states.

After Trevor's relocation to Florida in February of 2021, he resided at an apartment complex along US highway 19.

In November of 2022, he registered his business SEA PARADISE CHARTERS LLC.

In 2023, Trevor marries an individual who I will not name, as I'm not sure it's ethical to do so. I will note that the name isn't hard to find, but any information regarding this person is.

During Trevor's time in Florida he would work in several "Tour Boat Operations" as his alias "Captain Trevor.". Trevor holds a Master United States Coast Guard (USCG) License. Under his LLC, he ran commercial dolphin sightings, sandbar swims, and sunset cruises. He operated a large, distinct white-and-teal tour catamaran directly out of the Clearwater Beach Municipal Marina.

He worked for two other Tour Boat Operations which are still up and running: Fins Up Clearwater and Cruisin Tikis Clearwater.

It's important to note, that his LLC Sea Paradise Charters LLCs website and informational services have been dissolved. The remains of his business are bits and pieces spread out over Instagram and Facebook.

Trevor worked at Fins Up Clearwater presumably until his disappearance.

Details about the circumstances of his disappearance are unknown. However, Trevor did join a Facebook group around December 9th, 2024 called "St. Petersburg Roommates: Rooms for Rent & Roommate Finder". Digging through the Facebook group, there is no useful information, it's mostly filled with Bots and AI.

Months after his disappearance, a formal missing persons report was filed with Flordia Law Enforcement in August of 2025.

In September of 2025, his business was dissolved for failing to report in 2025. His last report was made in May of 2024.

In October of 2025, his Wife filed to dissolve their marriage. The source for this is verifiable as it comes from official newspaper archives. It appears because the state could not locate him, they posted publicly in the newspaper.

Trevor John Bilodeau also loved saltwater fishing. His Instagram profile features many, many photos of him on the water, and posing with fish. I was able to find an informational booklet where it seems he joined some sort of leaderboard or club for salt water fishing.

Trevor seemed to bring a strong and electric vibe to every event he worked. His Facebook page, Instagram accounts feature many photos of him with people he would sail with or take on his many dolphin tours. When looking through the reviews at his place of employment he has countless 5 star reviews, where folks compliment his energy and even pose with him for pictures.

Due to Trevor's highly public lifestyle, I find it astonishing how little information is out about his story.

Thanks to all the people who have taken pictures with Trevor, I was able to compile several much high quality photos of Him. Including the most recent photo I was able to find, taken around September of 2024. I do not know if it was actually September however, since Google reviews do not provide actual dates. I was able to estimate it however based on the context of the reviews surrounding the original review. Mentions of Hurricane Helen came up, which as a survivor of the storm myself, I remember that it specifically struck in September.

Trevor also has a phone number connected (Somehow, I couldn't really decipher how) to his name on sites like Truthfinder and Whitepages that are featured on old rave flyers. I was able to find this out thanks to the folks on a Facebook group where they preserve old flyers.

Something that stands out to me is, the most recent photo of him. He appears to have put on weight suddenly. This could indicate stress.

Need help buying a new house

So I was moving into a house that was 2 beds and 1 bath with 7 people. Turns out that is illegal or against code in the town I was going to do it in unless everyone was related to me which they weren’t.

I’m now looking for a house in the upper valley that is 3 beds and 2 baths so I can meet the 2 people per bedroom plus 1 additional person allowed rule for people unrelated to me. I have 300,000 thousand dollars max I can spend on this. I would have 5 kids living with me so it’s important I find them a good school. I know the upper valley has some of best school districts in the state but I am also aware they also have some of the worst.

What towns should I be looking for a house in?
