A bakery in Conway NH is suing the town after being told their mural violates advertising signage laws. It seems the sign just has pastries and doesn't otherwise advertise the business, so they're calling it art and arguing it should stay. The town disagrees so they're going to court over it.

The bakery is suing the town for $1, and permission to keep the kids mural up.

This is a small business fighting to keep kids art on display. Suing for $1 is a way to signal that are willing to do this at a financial loss, and that the display isn't a means of enriching themselves but rather their community.

I don't know, I'll play devil's advocate. He says it was never advertising, it was art. Okay, let's say he's right. What about the Starbucks next door when they out branded coffees on their door? What about the shell station making "art" of themselves?

Was the Luxor in Vegas lining one side of the pyramid a Dorito advertising or art?

I'm not saying he's wrong at all, but I see the city's side. If they allow one, they have to allow everyone, and that means that every corporate entity will use the free ~~ad~~ "art" space

If you get kids to make it free, it’s art haha.

Corporations everywhere start drooling, fire artists, start day cares for new signage.
