Nope.  The unincorporated communities in Vermont, New Hampshire, and
a very large chunk of Maine are not towns.  (With a couple of
exceptions: there are a few unincorporated towns in Vermont; these
places were formerly towns and later disincorporated when the
population left in the mid-nineteenth century.)

Only just -- Gorham already has a station, so you'd have to do it as a
"second local".  That also lets out Berlin (1), Jackson (1), Conway
(3f), North Conway (1), Lancaster (2), and Whitefield (1).  You could
do Bartlett (only an LP) or Twin Mountain or Bethlehem (1 app) or
Fryeburg (1 app), or even make a try for Bretton Woods.
