Do you take your four-legged, furry best friend almost everywhere you go? Most love car rides with their heads out the window and the wind blowing their ears around.

Why Aren't More People Talking about This Free Parking Lot in Portsmouth, New Hampshire?

4 days ago | wokq.com | Kira Lew

I love me some downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire. What's not to love, right? There's great food, scenic waterfront views, a solid art scene, fun nightlife, and unique shops. The locals and the tourists have one common qualm about downtown Portsmouth. It is a tale as old as time and many cities have the same issue; parking can be a total nightmare. When parking is a challenge in a city, you hope you can lean on public transportation.
What to Do if You Find a Baby Animal Abandoned and Alone in New Hampshire

We saw an enormous bald eagle take its (presumably) mother away, and we knew we had to intervene. Let me back up, because this story is wild, 100% true, and a learning experience on what to do if you ever find an abandoned animal in New Hampshire or other New England states. I was playing 9 holes at Exeter Country Club in Exeter, NH, with a buddy of mine. On the 18th fairway, we spotted what appeared to be a baby squirrel. The thing was a newborn...it had fresh skin with no hair.

This New England State is the Cheapest in the U.S for Music Lovers

1 week ago | wokq.com | Kira Lew

It is EXPENSIVE to see artists perform live no matter where you live. I remember when i was cleaning out my childhood bedroom before my parents sold our house, I found a ticket from The Warped Tour in 2002. Guess what the price said on the ticket...okay, I'll tell you: $15 dollars! Can you imagine? And that is for an all day festival with multiple bands! I could easily afford concert tickets by working one shift at Pacsun in the mall. Those were the days.
Country Star Enjoys New Hampshire's Squam Lake with Wife and Pals

1 week ago | wokq.com | Kira Lew

Mitchell Tenpenny is one of the most underrated country artists in my opinion. His voice is so strong and soulful and his lyrics are always super relatable. I am shocked he hasn't catapulted into super stardom but I'm certain it is just a matter of time. Mitchell was in town over Memorial Day Weekend opening for Kane Brown in Gilford, New Hampshire. It looks like he and his wife Megan Patrick and a few pals made the most of their time in the Lakes Region by renting a house on Squam Lake.

1 week ago | wokq.com | Logan Sherwood

When it comes to pretty, small Massachusetts towns with activities, a little nightlife, natural beauty, and history, one Massachusetts town often gets neglected. The big hitters like Boston, Cambridge, and Provincetown get the most recognition. Right behind them would be a Cape Cod town or Newburyport.
