PechaKucha was devised in Tokyo in February 2003.

Around the time of the bicentennial, And as the textile industry moved to china and the logging industry declined, NH had become in many people’s eyes a back country economy with relatively low income and fewer opportunities. But something changed and changed and chagned very quickly. Between 1976 and 1986 we became the fastest growing economy in New England. Why?
