This morning while driving north on Main St Laconia I counted at least a half dozen vacant store fronts as well as a vacant theatre and the old J.J. Newberrys. Contrast that to Main St Tilton. In roughly the same linear distance not one vacant storefront from railroad crossing to railroad crossing. I like strolling there. Main St Tilton and Franklin are charming according to our visiting friends.

Just a general toss up question.

Why couldn't Laconia, with a population three times Tilton, attract more businesses to downtown?

Oh ya, LA native here...
