Joe Pepe, 77, of Barnstead recently told Tamworth selectmen he would like to turn the former Bella Italia restaurant at 626 White Mountain Highway into a “gentlemen’s club” with nearly nude exotic dancers. Selectmen replied since the town doesn’t have zoning there’s no rule against it. On Thursday, Richard Doucette, who has volunteered to fill a vacancy on the board of selectmen, said the town’s lack of zoning doesn’t seem to be attracting many businesses to town and Tamworth’s “free-for-all” atmosphere may actually discourage entrepreneurs.

This week’s Tele-Talk question: Do you think it’s time for Tamworth to consider zoning?
