Dear Neighbor

We enjoy Walpole as it is – that’s why most of us are living here.

While change is inevitable and often beneficial, the growth we seek should be evolutionary, not revolutionary.

Behemoth stores will not benefit Walpole.  By definition they are blights on the landscape!  There are damn few towns in America that have not been defaced in this way – or by the inevitable forest of traffic lights.  Just look at Route 5 south of the roundabout in Brattleboro, or Route 1 north of Boston, or Route 101 to Nashua and you get the idea.

I urge you to consider the consequences of BIG BOX OUTLETS – vote ‘yes’ on Articles 6 and 7.

Sincerely,

        P.O. BOX 66, WENTWORTH ROAD
