I'm chuckling grin.

Right off of US Route 3 at the NH/Mass state line there is a VERY VERY
large shopping mall. One day, about 2 years ago, I was looking for a

NH]. I judged that the building sidewalk is in Massachusetts and the
outside wall is in NH.

When I said "just over the border" I wasn't kidding. ;-)

The town I grew up in was "dry", not allowing any liquor sales. You
could easily identify the borders with the non-dry neighboring towns,
because of the liquor stores. One of them had half its parking in the
dry town, but the door and the cash register clearly in the other
town.

Aren't those arbitrary lines on the map lots of fun?

Happy trails,
