Traffic, business up in NH for Labor Day weekend

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Traffic through the New Hampshire turnpike system was up for the four-day Labor Day weekend holiday — and so was business for a number of inns and attractions.

For some in the Mount Washington Valley, it was a welcome change from a year ago, when a number of businesses were closed or operated on a smaller scale after Tropical Storm Irene hit the area in late August.
