Epping: The Center of the Universe
August 4, 2008
Ever wonder where that phrase originated?
Jason Schreiber in the Union Leader explores the roots of the saying, which has enjoyed a rivival in recent months.
The town clerk’s office has always been the place to go for car registrations, but in Epping you can get your official “Epping is the center of the universe” bumper sticker there as well.
A sign next to the clerk’s window advertises the dark blue bumper stickers with white lettering at a bargain price of just $1.
The stickers have been a hot item since the clerk’s office started selling them a few years ago. In fact, the sample sticker attached to the sign at the clerk’s window has been swiped several times and has had to be replaced. As many as 134 stickers were sold last year. Sales this year have averaged about 10 a month, according to Deputy Town Clerk Joyce Blanchard, who bought bumper stickers for her sons, even though they refused to put them on their cars.
