Thank you. I used to hang out in Portsmouth back in the 1980s and early 90s. Since then I’m in the big city of Boston. Love it here, but miss the quiet charm of Portsmouth.
Glad you enjoyed it. It's a good contrast to have Portsmouth and Boston. That way you can have your top choice but visit the other on occasion to balance the vibes.
We finish off our Maine trip every time with a lunch in Portsmouth and then relaxing at peirce island watching the boats go up and down the river great vid Rachel ... Cheers Matt Beck
Yes, I have good memories of bringing my kids to the pool and park over there. If you ever get extra time, you might like the harbor tour because the boat takes you all around to places you can't see from the shore.
Your video may be the only way I'll get to experience this nice city so I hope you'll do more (and longer) videos in the future. You're blessed to live in such an area.
So beautiful!! I love Portsmouth, there’s so much to see and do. Do you remember Goldi’s deli? It’s long gone but they had the best sandwiches and homemade pickles.
You're a very beautiful girl! I accidentally saw your video about my beloved city Portsmouth and was very surprised at how beautiful and high quality you shoot! I am from Russia, my name is Oleg. In the near future I plan to move to live in Portsmouth))).
Hi Oleg, I'm planning to hopefully move there too and coming back to the States after 5 years in Europe. I studied Russian a long time ago and met many Russians where I was studying (French Riviera). I'd love to meet up and practice Russian or exchange languages if you're interested!
@@Thegray-hairedfreeman Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope you're safe and will be able to come soon. Feel free to contact me for a new language exchange friend in the States when you arrive!
Portsmouth in Halloween is spectacular. My coworkers and I walked around after work a few years ago and saw a bunch of activities for kids during that time of October. And pro tip - park at the main garage for cheaper rates.
The main garage is also much less stressful regarding avoiding parking tickets. I no longer park with the meters because no matter how hard you try to do it right, you still risk messing it up somehow and getting a ticket. The main garage has a clear rate and they are more understanding than the meter maids.
This video is great …..I have been thinking of coming to live it Portsmouth….. I currently stay in Maryland near Washington DC …. I am looking for a change …… I will come visit when I can
It helps me appreciate it more when you say this because I take it for granted seeing it all the time. I will make another video like this soon because of your nice comment.
🍁🍁🍂🍂🍃 Great video! Portsmouth is such a lovely town. Can you tell us about the climate/weather? How hot/cold does NH get? And, is Portsmouth b*l*a*c*k* friendly?
The weather changes with the seasons but people are out everyday unless there is a huge storm. You can search on the internet for the time of year you are there. Right now in fall it is 50s and 60s, sometimes a t-shirt, sometimes a jacket. I wish I had friends of color so I could get a true answer on the diversity welcoming question. To me, I think it is welcoming, but how can I really know. I will say it feels a lot safer at night than many places due to how many shops are open, lights are on, people are out having fun, bands playing, etc. In this sense, it is a community feeling where the majority are friendly.
@@RachelWhelton I wouldn't know how to answer the question "is a town black friendly" I'm black and I live in Columbia, South Carolina. There's no town or city that I've ever been to that wasn't black friendly. I've been to many cities in the deep south and I haven't had to deal with racism lurking around the corner or anything.
It’s good to see they celebrate Halloween out there the right way. Here in Oklahoma ( the buckle of the Bible Belt ) they’re cookie cutters about that stuff here.
@@RachelWhelton my wife and I plan to move to the Portsmouth area in a few years. The area is beautiful. And everything else I’ve read about it sounds great, except for the cost of living in certain areas. Your video showed much more than than google images. 👌🏼
New England has many good points indeed. I still love "the west" too and but I know what you are saying because I lived in San Diego, Laramie, Denver, and New Mexico back in the day.
You can live there in real life. Long time locals say prices in certain areas (of housing) have gone up a lot and the town is more populated. It is likely in a slow process of change towards becoming more premium/exclusive but for now it still has a lot of space and every size home and job. I live less than half hour away but that was so we could have a bit more space like a cheaper house and bigger land piece.
I fully respect this question and we chat about diversity in our family. I grew up in San Diego where there was more diversity than here in New Hampshire. Portsmouth does seem to be mostly white people walking down the road with occasional people that offer some type of diversity, but not always of color, sometimes just from other places or cultures. I can't say what it's like to be a person of color living here but at least in general I do not sense negativity. Vague thing to judge I guess but I've been many other places that "felt" less welcoming. Hope this answers your question in some way.
No there’s mostly white people all throughout New England in the nice areas. I’m from Providence Rhode Island. Providence, Pawtucket, and Woonsocket are the only areas where there’s diversity. I’m Dominican and I’d say Prov is the most diverse city next to Nashua NH, and Boston MA. New England is very racially divided. And white people know they have the upper hand in the good areas. Cops will adjust your location too by driving you back to the diverse areas if you get into an altercation. They will also make sure you do get charged with something as well if they see you have 1 little tiny ounce of attitude. This will all happen if you’re brown like I am or darker. That’s just how New England is and will always be. Unfortunately.
It is changing rapidly with many residents unhappy about the parking garages and condominium construction. I can still enjoy it at this stage of growth, still feeling some small town vibes at the right time of day.
This was in the morning and the city was a bit slow to wake up this day. I don't feel people are too scared here. In fact maybe they need to be more cautious. However, yes, later in the day the city would be more bustling. And also yes - it is slower than usual.
Thank you. I used to hang out in Portsmouth back in the 1980s and early 90s. Since then I’m in the big city of Boston. Love it here, but miss the quiet charm of Portsmouth.

Perfect video to show the streets and textures of this city I'm interested in moving to! Thanks for walking about.
Thanks for the nice comment.
Now I want to add Portsmouth to our NE Fall itinerary! Beautiful and charming!
Yes, it is worth the trip. Many good restaurants as well.
Lovely Walking Tour! Very Interesting and Enjoyed it 😊😊 Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the nice comment. I am glad somebody enjoyed it!
I work a
Over New England with a crew of 3-8 men for over 20 years this is easily our favorite city. Low crime,best cuisine ,on the water nice people
I love Portsmouth! Such a cool little city! Thanks for the tour! 🙏
Thanks for watching!
It's sooo beautiful! I've been wanting to move there! ❤💎❤️🔥
So beautiful!! I love Portsmouth, there’s so much to see and do. Do you remember Goldi’s deli? It’s long gone but they had the best sandwiches and homemade pickles.
Oh man, I never got to experience Goldi's deli. Classic delis are harder to find these days.
My God this looks just like England. This is so surreal.
I'm English by the way.
Same here, and I thought the same. It's rare to see American streets that look English. Very cool.
Beautiful place. Can remember I walked few years ago.
Very enjoyable. Thank you.

More of these ! Just love it !
Thank you. I'll work on doing another one.
this weirdly-looking sky in the video gives a very Lovecraftian vibe to this spooky port town...
Oh very nice! I visited this city a few years back and was delighted at how friendly everyone was. It's such a beautiful city. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, maybe sometimes take it for granted because we live so close. It is sort of my go-to little city.
Bro, what. This place is HUGE and has so many things to do
This video is great …..I have been thinking of coming to live it Portsmouth….. I currently stay in Maryland near Washington DC …. I am looking for a change …… I will come visit when I can
That’s crazy me too - I’m in DC and want to get out of here. Miss New England like crazy
Maybe you two will both move to Portsmouth and cross paths randomly someday.
Stay where you’re at.
My family is from portsmouth, its a cool old new england city
Same tom and jerry street i hope coming this City :)
Beautiful
Can't believe you didn't go into Deadies! It's one of the coolest things in Portsmouth!!
I will have to peek inside then.... seemed a bit spooky!
I so want to go there. It looks like a dream.
It helps me appreciate it more when you say this because I take it for granted seeing it all the time. I will make another video like this soon because of your nice comment.

Thank you. I really appreciate positive comments. I'm going to do the next walking tour in a new town when the leaves emerge.

Here on the west coast with NO culture or History and tons of smoke from wildfires.. new england here i come!!!!

Is Portsmouth largely a tourist destination? Can you live real life there?
You can live there in real life. Long time locals say prices in certain areas (of housing) have gone up a lot and the town is more populated. It is likely in a slow process of change towards becoming more premium/exclusive but for now it still has a lot of space and every size home and job. I live less than half hour away but that was so we could have a bit more space like a cheaper house and bigger land piece.
Hi there ! Are you locals ?
We live a short ways away from Portsmouth, yep.
Quick question is there any other people other then white? No offense

Never forget what they took from you
Its all new doesn't look much like the ports mouth o grew up in wow.
It is changing rapidly with many residents unhappy about the parking garages and condominium construction. I can still enjoy it at this stage of growth, still feeling some small town vibes at the right time of day.
So empty!!
Is it due to regulations or people are genuinely scared?
