PORTSMOUTH, NH - In a shocking revelation that has rocked the coastal town of Portsmouth, it has been discovered that the historic brick buildings lining the streets are, in fact, not just elaborate sets constructed for tourists.
Sources close to the investigation report that the buildings, some dating back to the 1700s, are real and have been standing for centuries. "It's truly mind-boggling," said one local resident. "I always just assumed they were props, like in a movie set."
The news has sent shockwaves through the community, with many residents struggling to come to terms with the reality of their surroundings. "I don't know what to believe anymore," said another resident. "Next thing you know, they'll be telling us the post office actually will never come back to the McIntyre building."
Despite the upheaval, some residents are finding comfort in the fact that their beloved city is, in fact, a real place. "It's nice to know that this isn't all just a dream," said one resident. "Or a nightmare, depending on how you feel about trying to get a reservation at Ristorante Massimo on a Saturday in June."
As for the tourists themselves, many have expressed relief that they didn't spend their vacation in a fake town. "I would have been so disappointed if I found out this was all just an elaborate prank to raise South End property values," said one visitor. "I'm glad to know that Portsmouth is the real deal."
