2) The obnoxious signs (and honky-tonk) are designed to attract the attention of new customers: license plates from which state are most commonly seen?
[B]If all you do is complain once we get there![B] I dont disagree that there are a lot of tourists from Mass in NH - thats why they call them TOURISTS!!! Its good for your economy - makes up for your lack of a state income tax! An aside - I see as many NH plates on 93 in the morning and afternoon making their way to and from employment in Boston, as I do MASS plates at the Weirs.
Bottom line - I don't see how you can point fingers at Mass and other states for NH's bad judgement when it comes to ZONING laws and ordinance shortsightedness!! Thats why you have ugly signs, mini-storage units - shopping centers, etc etc etc...has NOTHING to do with MASS. As a matter of fact - here in Haverhill MASS we have an ordinance on signage - perhaps that might be something NH WOULD WANT TO COPY!
