Near the end of Towd Road on the right was a rock with the saying “Do What You Love” painted in white. I smiled every time I saw it, and I took my grandchildren to share it with them. I’m pretty sure that many people enjoyed it as much as I did and found it inspirational, especially for young people.
But now it’s gone — because the town has covered it with a plaque (something about land preservation). Besides covering the saying, they chose a poor spot on a rock where it doesn’t sit well in an area that most people will overlook. If the town wants people to notice its plaque, they should place it on a 4x4 at the end of the road with other signage.
I would like the town to remove its plaque and repair any damage to “Do What You Love.”
