Well, I say it's the frigin Skunk cause we must have at least 50 or more of the damn things in town. You can't go anywhere without smelling or seeing them. Hell, last week when I was driving by the Dirty Doggy and I saw a family of 7 skunks come out of Bruce Carhart's deck and cross the street. (Ya, I know what your thinking but let's leave Bruce out of the discussion.. hehe)
It's ridiculous, those damn things are everywhere. I live on Church Street and it's gotten so bad I now have a little flashlight on my keychain so I can make sure there are no skunks before I go into my back door. Last week I ended up about 3 feet from one and the noise it made scared the shit out of me so from now on I check. I was lucky it didn't spray me, but I stopped as soon as I saw it and backed away. I hear there are a shitload of those little suckers on the other side of town too.
I say the village needs to start trapping and killing the little bastards like they did a few years back. Temporary solution or not. Either that or I have a new Logo the Chamber can use on next year's Visitor's Guide.
If you got a recent story about the infamous Alexandria Bay Skunk leave a comment about it.
BTW: I was sitting in my back room working when I smelled one from outside. That is what made me think of putting this up. |

| Part Two: I'm with Murray, Boo Dog should be our mascot, he has all the best qualifications: perfect meeter/greeter, very sociable, knows the town like the back of his paw, all the best places to eat( oh yeah, Johnny why didn't you interview Boo on the Pizza poll?), knows all the best fishing spots, knows ALL the girls, jumps higher, runs faster and to the best of my knowledge has never been arrested. His only drawback is Vic, but we can live with that. My vote goes to BOO Dog!!!

Part One: Too many skunks in the downtown area for sure. There's two particular ones that have been around for a few years, both are very distinguishable: one is nearly all black with a very narrow white stripe down it's back and the other is almost all white with a barely visible black stripe. They must be the grandparents of all the others, they've really GOT TO GO !!!

| I think BOO DOG should be the official mascot of Alexandria Bay. You can find BOO DOG anywhere at anytime but if you do see him you know Vic is around somewhere in the bay. So therefore BOO DOG is my vote, Murray
