Reading this thread is a little unsettling seeing we just bought a house in Laconia. My husband would come up with his family when he was young and always wanted to live here so here we are. We bought in a great neighborhood on Lake Winnisquam. I thought the downtown looked a little shady, but it has such promise. Here in NJ, Wildwood Beach was going down, and they took the old and made it new. People remembered the do op Hotels and dances so they brought them back but new and beautiful. it is doing very well. Perhaps if they turned our old memories into new ones it would bring back the people who loved the place as children. What I'm trying to say is people want to relive their old memories but with a clean, new, modern look. A six-flags type park would be great. And don't forget the skiing.
