If the City of Laconia had the vision, fortitude and integrity that the initial owners of the Queen had, then Weirs Beach (and Laconia) would be on par with Portland, Maine or Burlington, Vermont. But alas, the exact opposite is true. Sadly, I think it will continue in a downward spiral and will ultimately look like a 3rd world country.

Very true, not everybody can make a success of what others can. It's never as easy as it looks.
If this is the result of city neglect, it's a complete shame.
