It is a time of decision for Berlin, N.H., a piece of New England that prosperity forgot.

Berlin is a town that is ripe for some major growth. Unfortunately they do have some serious issues to overcome, and the tourist industry, which pretty much that whole area thrives on, is in a bad downward turn.

Berlin is quite a bit removed from the rest of the major tourism areas, but it has the benefit of being one of the larger, if maybe not nicer, towns up there. I have always wanted to run some kind of a rail systems up there - sort of a Swiss rail in America type of thing. The track is there for most of it alread, and what isn't there in track is for the most part there at least in abandoned lines. It would take a concentrated push and a lot of money and concentration, but I think it could really turn New Hampshire into a major tourist location.

Well with the dollar hitting parity with the Canadian dollar, maybe they can get some Montrealers down there for a vaca.
