Traveling along the banks of the Merrimack River, one sees a unique blending of history with current economic development in the state's largest city. The old mill along the river has been transformed into quaint shops, galleries and businesses. The community features traditional festivals, open air markets, great restaurants, and sporting and concert events available in the new 10,000 seat indoor Verizon Wireless Arena. The minor league (double A) FisherCats baseball team's ballpark proudly sits 6,500 in a waterfront stadium.
