UNITY — Ashli Pelletier doesn’t pay too much attention to national politics. She mostly relies on her husband to fill her in after he watches the news.
She knows the “world feels really chaotic right now” and that many people around the country are sharply divided over the presidential election, among many other issues.
It doesn’t feel that way in Unity, Pelletier said as she loaded quarters into a washing machine at Depot Village Laundry on a recent morning.
“It feels really easy in a small town where you have everything you need – you do feel that unity in Unity – to feel safe in the local community where you know people,” Pelletier said. “At the small-town level, you can kind of just quiet the noise.”
