No insurance - pretty irresponsible of Laconia.

Historic?
 

Does the boardwalk fit any criteria that would make it an official "Historical Place"? I would think it's been there long enough!? Maybe they could get some funds that way, too!

Surprising that the insurance didn't cover it; must be just liabilty. I mean physical liability, not fiscal. :laugh:

Boy.....I was surprised by this. Is the boardwalk not something that was ever insured ?

It is not unusual that many municipalities are self-insured. They create a fund for a future need.

Before we condemn something, let's do the research, folks.

Most towns do not have insurance- can you imagne the premiums?

YIKES! Well, a million dollars doesn't go as far as it used to.
