I agree, we don't "need" anymore commercial growth. I live in Tuftonboro, the least commercial town on the lake and I hope it stays that way. Six miles down the road is Wolfeboro with its great full service adequate-sized IGA, plenty of good restaurants, shops, bookstore, meat markets, and all the commercial and financial services you'd want. The one thing I have noticed is the multitude of insurance agencies. I think I have counted seven in a one mile radius. Please spare us the big box stores, supermarkets, fast food and multiplexes. A small theater would be good especially if it would also be used as a stage venue, not just a movie theater. I am sure some of you remember when movie theaters were not just movie theaters.
I do occasionally have to go to Wal-Mart or Home Depot. BUT, I'd rather go to them then have them move closer to me.
