It's an old story.

The decline in manufacturing has left many New Hampshire cities and towns with hulking, dilapidated empty mill buildings.

Often they sit along what might otherwise be beautiful river front.

Rehabilitating these old mills has not been easy.

But Claremont has been trying.

And the city has met with some success..

The Vermont Standard's Kevin Forrest reports:

Like it or not, cell phones have become an integral part of the urban landscape, seeping into our personal and business lives. On the one hand are those who embrace the technology and can't live with out it and on the other hand are those who get a migraine at the mere sound of a ringtone. Laura's guests are Peter Rojas, Editor-In-Chief of Engadget, co-founder of Gizmodo, and freelance contributor to a number of magazines, including Wired Magazine, the New York Times, Slate, Salon, and The Guardian. Joining Peter is Xeni Jardin, Tech Culture journalist and co-editor of BoingBoing. She is also a contributing writer for Wired Magazine and technology correspondent for NPR's Day to Day. Jardin participated in a documentary on cell phone culture released in 2004 called Celling Out, which accompanied the DVD release of the movie Cellular.
