Acres, I have lived in Massachusetts for 45 years and been driving to the lakes region for decades and have never seen one of those obnoxious signs till I cross into New Hampshire. I’m not sure how Massachusetts is affecting New Hampshire’s natural beauty.
Turning off the highway into Tilton at night is like driving through a carnival. I personally think those flashing signs greatly reduce the beauty of the state and are a form of pollution in the area. The next thing will be loud speakers with pre-recorded messages to get your attention. I’m all for freedom to advertise but if I choose to look the other way I can still see the light reflecting off everything around. We spend nights on the Weirs Channel and can see the two flashing signs from Thurston’s and Channel Marine flashing all night reflecting off everything in the area. Often times when looking out a window at night my first thought is there is an accident on the bridge, then I realize it is just the flashing signs.
