Noah Kahan Griffin Lotz/Rolling Stone via Getty Images Noah Kahan is asking fans to stop stealing a street sign in his Vermont hometown popularized by his song “The View Between Villages.”
The singer made the request on social media, writing, “To fans traveling to the upper valley, I’ve been informed that the Alger Brook Road sign in Strafford has been repeatedly stolen. It is a total disrespect to the folks who live on that road and a headache for the town to deal with.”
It’s unclear how many times fans have snagged the Alger Brook Road sign — immortalized in “The View Between Villages” lyric, “Past Alger Brook Road, I’m over the bridge/A minute from home, but I feel so far from it” — but apparently it’s become a nuisance, so much so that Kahan has even offered to “pay for any replacements” until a permanent solution is found.
“I hate that because I put the road name in a song that some people have taken that as an invitation to disrupt the lives of the hardworking and kind folks who frequent it,” Kahan continued in an Instagram story. “I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this.”
