Laconia has a habit of saying no to good ideas; they tossed goodbye the large & popular sailboat, Queen of Winnipesaukee, and saying yes to bad ideas when they welcomed their downtown urban renewal revitalization plan.
So, when Laconia says no, maybe you want to consider the small airport in Plymouth, NH, which has a single, green grass runway which should be soft enough for landing sky divers. Plus, there's a McDonald's nearby
