First, the good news. The new restaurant building of the Weirs Beach Smoke House is a nice big attractive looking place, set back from the road. The Cumberland Farms has the cheapest gasoline around, big clean rest rooms, fresh cheap gals of milks, & a very respectable looking white canopy. They must have spent 2 mil bucks to build that place what with all the gasoline polliution-fire-safety designs. Gulbecki's Automotive got burnt out, is rebuilding, and doing biz out of a rent-a-trailer. The Meredith Bay housing sub-division, formerly Akwa Soliel, has some real good looking signs, a blue stripped lighthouse, and a state built sidewalk. A new large foundation was just built down hill from JT's Bar-B-Q?
And, on the down side....as the proprietor of Waldo Peppers says: Basically you get just twelve weeks to make it at the Weirs.
Long gone is the Queen of Winnipesaukee and the Winni Water taxi. After a little over a year, the new Mount partner has sold his stake to one of the ship's captains. The Willows Restaurant, the Handy Landy covenient store, Carl's Restaurant are all closed w/ space for rent or sale.
Winnipesaukee Gardens has been for sale for years.
The Weirs general store suffered a huge snow-roof collapse.
Moving to nearby Gilford is Waldo Pepper's.
Moving to nearby Meredith is the Winnipesaukee Playhouse.
NE Biz Sales shows a 'for sale' marina listing for 3.5mil. It's hard for me to tell by the one interior showroom photo if that's Channel Marine?
Even the Weirs post office closed their 24-hour postage stamp vending machine due to lack of sales.
.........
Not likely to happen this month, but just imagine the wave of construction, people and business and money if casino gambling ever tsunamied in and across the Weirs.
