    "There are not very many dog friendly areas in the Exeter area. I often only see dogs walking in residential neighborhoods as they are not welcome in public spaces."

    "It would be great if the town was more dog friendly. More parks for dogs. Instead we have a police department post on Facebook that dogs aren’t allowed in a park they have been allowed in for over 10 years, and even has a poop stand."

    "Exeter is a beautiful area and has many things to offer a tourist. It also has bus service, which is convenient. I love walking around the area and I like the fact that on most of the streets they have polls so that you can clean up and dispose of your pets mess. "

    "it is loved by many- does not have too much diversity, so many of the rich town's in the jr. high and high school that go to this school consist of teens who are biased , judgemental and make fun of anyone who is not preppy rich or super athletic . otherwise it is an okay town, close to the beach , (which is absolutely freezing in the water, however absolutely beautiful). you're within driving distance to fields/farms, 30 min from mountains, and close to historic cities. very great rec and school sports/pride. I'm moving south because I just can't do the winters here anymore, it's only warm for a few months and we spend too much time cooped up inside. but my last straw was the cost if living , it has gone through the roof for everything, mostly rentals . compared to the rate of pay and being a small business owner on a street 2 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean, business just wasn't working out. there is definitely a lot of people who adore the seacoast, but mostly those are people who were born here (I was too, but there aren't many opportunities for my generation )"
