Regarding Leavitt’s Country Bakery, what exactly is the town’s objection? This work is obviously a piece of art, depicting colorful, comforting rays of the sun illuminating certain foods, which many humans also find comforting, with the colorful rays repeated on what I trust is an appropriately sized business sign below. Again, to what do they truly object?
Everything that made the Conways special is evaporating right before our eyes.
Call it what you'd like, progress, economic development, demographic shift, whatever.
That this "sign" has become the target of town officials is the most significant sign of where things are headed, and how much things have changed, and it isn't good.
But hey, we have lots of new larger motels, corporate fast food stores, big-box home stores, 3 supermarkets, traffic circles, traffic jams, and homeless people living in surrounding wooded areas.
Way to go Town Planners and Officials. You're destroyed what used to be an oasis, a small piece of sanity, and a respite from the chaos of overpopulated towns & cities.
Greetings MEPD Ret. You and I do not always agree, but this time we most certainly do. Unfortunately, the Leavitt’s Bakery sign has indeed become a “sign of the times”. And with the addition of the currently under-construction Market Basket, make that FOUR supermarkets.

On this, we can agree.
In the end, most of us want the same things. A stable, safe place to raise our families, the ability to honestly prosper, and not be messed with.
