Who remembers the giant dinosaur on top of the old Keenan Heinz Company on East St. in downtown Concord? The dinosaur was placed on the building over a decade ago, but the company had to take it down after the City of Concord told them they didn’t have the proper permits to put it on the roof. It was fun while it lasted.

I remember going past this building years ago and always being happy to see the dinosaur. I miss it today.

“the City of Concord told them they didn’t have the proper permits” In other words, permission to do something on your property. How annoying.
im not allowed to have a fence higher than 3 feet on the first ten feet of my property,but i can grow anything as high as i want in the same area…they just want to control people.
Sometimes it might be selective enforcement or
harassment under the color of authority.
