I don't think I've ever been to the Rusty Hammer...we'll have to check it out next time we're up in Portsmouth.

Congrats on making the list Ann!!! 

Ann, Congrats on your office being on the list Ann.  I really enjoy a good sandwich, so I would have to try out Googies.  

Ann, Congratulations on best Real Estate office. I have sampled food at the Rusty Hammer and it is great.

Congrats to you and your office!!!    And congrats to the community winners.  Great localism post!  

Ann - Congrats on being one of the better businesses for the 3rd year in a row. I have actually been to the Rust Hammer a few times!

Monika - NEXT time you're here, call me!  We can certainly hit the Hammer for a few and some chow - good basic food at good prices.  Belly up to the bar there!

Steve - I like a really good sandwich, too. I have to say I've not yet tried Googies, but have heard some really good things about their food.

Judy - it's a favorite of locals, and you'll see folks from all walks of life in there.  Plenty of very wealthy folks in there, and you'd never know it to look at them.  It's just a great down home place where 'every body knows your name"....  ;-)

Desiree - thanks for reading and commenting!!

Bill - the Hammer is a place that has been around for years and years.  It started down closer to the center of Market Square, in a little hole in the wall space, then moved down to where it is, but in smaller space, then eventually took over the whole space they've got now.  Great corner location and is always busy.  Next time you're up this way, give a call!


Thanks for the comments!!!
Ann

Congratulations Ann, that is something to post about!!!

Hi Kim - thanks!  We're kinda proud of it, and the other businesses on this 'best of' list are great businesses, too.  If you get down to Portsmouth, give some of them a try!

Ann

Congratulations on the number 1 position, it is a rarity that a real estate company is every voted best in any survey. So congratulations are in order to you and your company, it says a lot about your company's service to the community.

Ann   Congratulations, there are a lot of real estate companies on the seacoast...quite an achievement!  I love Rusty Hammer.  I have not tried Googies, guess I better check it out!

Hi Todd - thanks very much!  We're very pleased with it, especially since it's our 3rd time in a row.  We do have an office-full of great agents.

Hi Sharon - thanks!  I've been going to the Hammer since it was a little hole in the wall bar closer to the square - a great locals place for sure!  I haven't had the opportunity to try Googie's either, but plan to soon.  Maybe we'll run into each other there - who knows!


Many thanks for the comments.
Ann
