Patchwork Nation: Nashua, New Hampshire: Consumer Confidence Decline
http://nashua.patchworknation.org/2010/02/consumer-confidence-decline.html

I can sympathize with this and so can many of my classmates. Posted by Kinjal Shah. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We are a Monied Suburb. More About Monied Suburbs.
