I live in Mass - yes - been here all my life - and have spent almost every summer at Winnipesaukee. I have to say the ONLY place I see HONKY TONK is Hampton Beach and Weirs Beach...hmmm....BOTH IN NH! Only place I see these gawd awful neon flashing signs and the new video signage is in - yes indeed DING DING DING --- NH!!
Honky Tonk - can I pull an Obi Wan moment please - "Now thats a name I havent heard in a long long time...." In fact my Dad uses it when he describes - yep right again - WEIRS BEACH ... "Hey dad we are taking the boat over to the Weirs." His reply - "That honky tonk place?! You can have it."
Anyway - I have yet to see these signs that folks in NH are complaining about in MASS.
As for my drive to the lake - no signs saying Lakes and Mountains, thats route 95 - on 93 its signs for: Manchester - Boston Airport, Verizon Center, Steeplechase Mall, etc etc etc until I get the "quiet" village of TILTON and its famous traditional New England SHOPPING OUTLETS - nope no signs for Lakes and Mountains when I come up - my friend - but at night I just follow the lights - glowing on the horizon - sadly - I can see more stars here at home in Haverhill than I can when I venture to parts of the lake....
