Danielle Ameden at the Milford Daily News reports that the Massachusetts town of 28,000 is cracking down on “flashy” signs such as the one at Dunkin’ Donuts on South Main Street. The Board of Selectmen is worried that the current anti-flashing law, prohibiting signs from changing more than once every five seconds, isn’t tough enough, so they’re considering a measure that “would require that changeable message panels display the same message for at least one hour, with switching between messages allowed only eight times a day.”

Milford is also standing tall against “adult entertainment.” Spurred to action by a pub owner’s request to add exotic dancing to his menu, selectmen adopted 36 pages of regulations on the activity, including: “no lap dances, no touching and no private rooms. There must be sufficient lighting, tips can only be stuffed into jars on the edge of stage and bouncers are required at every door with at least two more inside.”
