I think it's premature for him to create a franchise. He's probably spent a lot of his cash reserves on this fight.

Lets focus on crushing town Zoning Boards to a paste, one town at a time.

You don't want to make it too hard for the IJ.

It could be anyone with a grievance, don't make assumptions as to why. Could be a poor transient vegan hippy living in their 1964 vw bus and doesn't like the fact they use eggs. See? We both have no idea on the source and motive..... Anyhow the key here is if people are outraged over this they should petition their local government to reassess the law and tweak it. That's how it's meant to work.

I keep expecting someone in this thread to say - come on guys calm down.

Then I remember where I am and embrace my feelings of agreement that you should bully the government

Exactly. The ordinance can be tweaked to allow it and keep giant billboards at bay, but as it's written you're right. Everyone here is flipping out about it being unjust, but it is in violation and the town can't just ignore it now. They should look at the laws they have on the books and see how they want to adjust it.

If this was a business people didn't like, they'd be slamming the business rather than the town ordinance. It's weird.

Oh, I totally understand. But, once you allow it and open that door, I think others will take advantage and erect their own, perhaps uglier, signage.

Let's just replace it wolfeboro pt2

I like wolfeboro. They should make a second one.

Yeah, I got that from the article, and thus the lawsuit by IJ (who I donate to, they do good work). I just didn't see in the article that it was a particular ZB member that was the problem point.

I wouldn't think that the Asst. Zoning Inspector, even if they sat on the board themselves, would have much power. It would be some other community member, probably some snobbish %1-er.

Totally- I think many people in the town feel that this is not actually a sign, you can’t even see it if you’re driving from the south, it doesn’t say anything…just some cool paintings of donuts. And it’s not a billboard really either, it’s part of their building.

If only we allowed those pipelines to be built

Its only economical because the government is subsidizing such programs which are funded by taxes ( theft )

That is by defintion a bubble

As i understand it, the town statutes essentially put him in violation. It was ignored until someone made a complaint, most likely, but now the town is forced to act on their bylaws. It's how it's written and it's stupid and the rules should be changed, but for now it is what it is.

Government being the problem again

Lets be constructive, here.

Destroying your own property, and destroying a loved, local landmark - 0 points.

​

Letting the air out of the Asst. Zoning Inspectors tires when they're not looking - 1.5 points

Pouring sugar into their gas tank when they're not looking(hey, they're at a donut shop - they better have a sweet tooth) - 4 points.

Torching the Asst. Zoning Inspectors vehicle(only if it's an official vehicle, not personal) - 10 points (but only if at a safe distance from your donut shoppe - subtract 5 points if the blazing vehicle accidentally ignites said donut shoppe)

Drugging the Asst. Zoning Inspector, and take photos of them while in a semi-consensual act with one of the local moose population, and posting copies of the photos around town - 50 points

​

Just a few ideas. Trying to be constructive, yeah. Anybody else with some good ideas?

PS: #RESIST!

Wow I was just looking at houses in Conway guess mot anymore. I’m moving to NH to get away from petty bullshit and over governance.

The thing is, maybe that ordinance is in place so the town doesn’t have to deal with unsightly billboards or large signs. If they let him keep it, it won’t be long before another business tries to erect a large sign (that may not be as tasteful as the donut mural). Having come from a place that has ugly signs everywhere (Georgia), I can understand why the city wants to fight this.

Overwhelming majority of NH voters want cannabis reform but Sununu’s planning a presidential run. His GOP base loves the “war on drugs” like mom and apple pie.

The guy bought it from the old owners to save a local institution.

If I was him I'd fucking torch the thing and let Conway rot. Nothing up there except angry bored cops, DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH CONWAY IF YOU CAN AVOID IT

*terms and conditions may apply

Lol. Dudes having a bad trip

Ah, the article didn't make that clear. Is it the (typical) situation where there is one particular power-hungry individual on the ZB who just happens to have an issue?

Live free or die.

Cringe government

unfortunately, the entire area in the south has a nonexisting housing market. If you really want a house I suggest getting a realtor up here to get it for you before you arrive. Rentals have an availability of less than 1% unless you are already here and can go in person, there is no chance for you to get a rental in the southern part of NH ahead of time. On top of that the price range you mentioned will most likely only get you a one bedroom. Can your employer not help you to secure housing?

Good luck!

I hope this gains more attention, it’s an awesome bakery and the town official involved is a jackass.

And a veto the week after.
