Yup, I used to love that magazine. There's also the stuffed bears on the telephone poles. Again on rt 23 there is I think about a 5 mile long stretch with stuffed teddy bears on the top of all the telephone poles. Snow, thunderstorms whatever causes them to fall in a day or two they are put back.

Once a car ran into one of the poles, they had to replace the pole and 2days later there was a new teddy bear on top of the pole.
