Today's Citizen has an article about the Laconia Planning Board and the large gasoline canopy at the Weirs' Cumberland Farm store. After removing all the American flags and the relatively thin orange stripe the PLanning Board has voted 4-2 that Cumby needs to rebuild the canopy from a flatside to a mansard design, at an aproximate cost of $45,000.
What a wacky decision and a waste of $45,ooo! Take a good look around the Weirs at the ugly moving electric signs down by the busy inersection of Rt 11B & Rt 3, and then take a look at the clean, white Cumby canopy. What-o-what has the Planning Board been smoking? While the Planning Board can say that removing all the American Flags and the orange stripe is not the issue here, I got to wonder what the public would think about their decision?
