I find it hard to believe that Weare, NH has a population of 8500. I know things have grown a lot here but that puts it in the "big town" category by our standards.
Win or lose, and you knew it was going to lose, folks' awareness of the issue has been heightened by this whole thing and the people who started this whole thing rolling get praise from me.
Don't put it past Souter to hold on to this fire hazard and sell it along with his neighbors for a future mall. Would be interesting to find out where he actually lives, and if he files this barn as his primary residence - qualifying it for a homestead exemption on his taxes.
