Exeter's secret police and other follies

As I was driving crawling through town, I did a double take: EPD plates on an unmarked car. It's a good thing I wasn't doing anything naughty, like holding a phone. (I haven't seen their two-wheeled tax-funded vehicle for quite some time.) Yet, I still saw people--evil people--talking on phones while driving, not wearing seatbelts (even though they were under 18!), etc. 

Traffic has gotten worse on Water St., so I had time to note the proliferating signage and marvel and the parking crunch: motorcycles only, no idling, no parking, winter ban, stop, NEW, stop ahead...my head is spinning!

The whole storefront to old Rogan's was gone. Will it really be another coffee shop? I guess it's hard enough to find a place that sells coffee in Exeter...maybe the "entrepreneurial" Darren Winham's backroom dealings are responsible?

What a town! If only it were Portsmouth.
