I wonder if a sub & pizza place could be a financial success at that old water-slide location at the very beginning of Lakeside Avenue that now has an olde, brite brite yellow building? It could be named Water-Slide Subs & Pizza ...or something?
After all, across the bridge, there at the desolate Alpine Rose Plaza, it is so deadly slow from Labor Day to Memorial Day that the Dunkin Donuts closed, the very popular Winnipesaukee Playhouse moved one town away to Meredith, and even the U.S. Postal Service eliminated the window service at the Weirs Beach Post Office, 03246. That big intersection with the particularly unattractive Weirs Beach roundabout, especially unattractive when compared to the Meredith roundabout, five miles north, is home to the only seasonally open gas station that I'm aware of.......a seasonally operated, May-October, Phillips-66 gasoline station....now, that's an oddity? And, who ever heard of a Dunkin Donuts closing up!
Probably, a big part of the Lakeside Ave-Weirs Beach, Sept-to-May, dead no-go business zone are all those property tax exempt, civil war era, seasonal buildings that are part of the
http://www.thenhva.org (& click on history or gallery) ....that sit vacant for almost the entire year. Understand its' main money is renting vender space on the grassy embankment along the public sidewalk during bike week and using the money for building maintenance and repairs....but what-a-spot for a Weirs Beach-Civil War stylized destination, lakeside waterfront, G-A-M-B-L-I-N-G C-A-S-I-N-O!
Come on NH Legislature.......Weirs Beach is a great spot for a civil war style........ north vs south .... stylized gambling casino. All those civil war style buildings could be moved off to some other location and reinstalled with great care and respect....and their former location could be a new home to a large casino destination on the lake built in the same funky -wunky civil war style of design, and the casino employees could be wearing confederate grey and union blue designer outfits.
Would Governor Maggie Hassan support this.....probably yes! Would Walt Havenstein support this, had he won....probably yes! Will the 424-member, NH Legislature ever, ever support this......probably not?
