When blacks make up 0.7% of the population in the state you don't see many although it has become more 'diverse' in the last 35 years. Asians beat them at 1.0%. Indians are the largest minority but many of them don't stray far from the ez. > Anyway, as said, basic "stuff" at basic prices.

The area is big on outdoor recreation but if you're into spudbutts Walmart is the place to be. I'll admit that without Walmart and it's cheap Chinese stuff many Americans would be well and truly screwed. I used to wear Herman Survivor boots. Like most of the shoe shops in New Hampshire and Maine they didn't survive offshoring. Walmart bought the brand name and enshitified it. Yeah, they sold for $50 but were worth less.
