Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Community Saddened to See Another Downtown Business Close
We are noticing a very sad pattern on the Seacoast of New Hampshire that so many of our favorite places are announcing they are closing their doors for good.
Over the last few months we have heard that Stonewall Kitchen, Earth Eagle Brewing and The Franklin Restaurant will be no longer.

What do all these places have in common? They are all located in Downtown Portsmouth where rent prices continue to increase and these businesses, that have become staples in our community, can’t keep their heads above water. For people that love downtown Portsmouth and consider it home, it is very disheartening.
Stroll is the latest downtown Portsmouth business to announce the sad news that they are closing.
I always loved Stroll’s downtown location. It’s so inviting! Right when you walk in there are brightly colored local products and to-go items adorably arranged to greet you.
They team up with other local businesses which we love to see. Sometimes they serve donuts from Donut Love. Everything is made fresh daily, including pastries from their own baker, Gusti.
They serve La Mulita coffee, which is locally roasted in Rye, NH.
They also have a great selection of fast to-go food as well as hot sandwiches, soups and empanadas (yum)!
AND they offer a wide variety of wine, beer, and specialty cocktails, along with specialty coffee and espresso drinks.
A must-try item was the vegan tuna fish sandwich. It tastes EXACTLY like real tuna fish, and is rumored to be absolutely delicious. Stroll prides themselves on having plenty of gluten free and vegan options for both breakfast and lunch.
Another crowd pleaser is their maple latte, made with real April’s maple syrup. If you know, you know.
You still have a few days to grace their downtown Portsmouth location at 15 Portwalk Place, their final day is Sunday March 9th.
Their second location will remain open at 75 Portsmouth Boulevard in the Portsmouth Office park.

NH National Guard activated in connection with Iran war
The federal government has activated the New Hampshire National Guard’s 157th Air Refueling Wing in connection with the war with Iran.
“I’ve had a briefing myself, a classified briefing, but it’s really important on the messaging on this that we really coordinate with the Pentagon,” Gov. Kelly Ayotte told reporters during a press briefing following Wednesday’s Executive Council meeting.
Ayotte said she was unable to share additional details about the nature of the New Hampshire National Guard’s activity related to the conflict, including how many guard members have been activated or what role they are playing.
“We’re going to respect what messaging comes out of the Pentagon just to make sure that our men and women in uniform are fully protected and that we aren’t providing any information that could be used in a way that would be harmful to them,” Ayotte said.
In a statement Thursday, Ayotte said the unit had been deployed in late February to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility in support of the operation.
Earlier this week, Pentagon officials confirmed that members of the Vermont National Guard were involved in attacks against Iran over the weekend, though our news partners at Vermont Public were not able to confirm additional details on the nature of the operation.
During the briefing with local reporters, Ayotte also stressed her support for servicemembers and those close to them.
“I have such respect for our men and women in uniform,” Ayotte said. “As you know, I come from a military family, and they have our full support, and we appreciate them and their families, and obviously anyone who is serving right now, and my thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost someone that they love.”
