Boston Globe reporter Jenna Russell bought the story of the Bellows Falls boosters:
The idea seemed as innocent as apple pie with a scoop of fresh-churned ice cream: A mural painted on the side of an old red barn, in the vintage style of a 1950s postcard, urging passing travelers to head south to "See Bellows Falls."Innocent? Oh puh-leeze. The Bellows Falls Downtown Development Alliance didn't know anything about the state-wide billboard ban, and yet they just happened to decide to paint their billboard on a barn.
C'mon, they were obviously trying to see what they could get away with.
