Not a tourist haven by any stretch. Those areas have signage regulation enforcement because Haverhill wants to attract outsiders! End of that topic.
I am not a fan of the LED signs in question, but if they are legal in the communities in question then so be it. But I did find the photo that I "skimmed" over in the Eagle Tribune of an offending Haverhill storefront to be much more offensive then any LED sign I have recently come across in New Hampshire.
Then you have never driven through Laconia or Rochester or even your hometown of Dover lately! Just drive up route 11 from 16 to Alton Bay - and you'll see plenty of convenience stores with tacky signage and cheesey advertising like the store pictured in the Tribune.
But then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
[B]This beholder tends to avoid THAT section of Haverhill - as it is a neighborhood. Not a tourist attraction like Lake Winnipesaukee. Speaking of Lake Winnipesaukee - The point of the original post was the corruption of the LAKES REGION due to LED Signage!B]
Best of luck in getting your sign ordinances enforced down in Haverhill and getting all those nasty store fronts cleaned up!  |
Again, it's one neighborhood and one city councilor's rallying cry - not a city wide dillema nor is it a concern for me or my neighbors in this community.
Lets go back to the original post --- about LED signs in the LAKES REGION....and my concern that there was blame being laid at the foot of "other states" which I found unfounded, unnecessary and unproductive.
