I'd gladly sign, but I vote in an abutting Town, not Laconia.
Seriously, if Lakes Region voters and/or interested parties can be included, I will seek out one of the petitions.

In any case, I wish a successful conclusion to the leaders of the petition.

Contractor for roundabout has equipment on this site; let them tear it down as they wind down for summer season's traffic, the time I read they plan to put their work on hold!

Cell phone picture from a friend in January....

Thank you John Ganong and Don Thurston!!!!! I remember Don Thurston often saying " I'm just trying to make a living" what a challenge that must be with that eyesore so close in proximity to the business Don's father built so long ago.............times have changed for sure!

After reading the Laconia Daily Sun article I can't help but feel the Baldi family could care less about the Weirs, its neighbors, the season, or the many thousands of tourists that call the Lakes Region one of the most beautiful places on earth. The poor image they have created while ignoring the well being of their fellow buisness people says enough for me. Time to not only sign the petition but also to send a loud message to the Baldis by never frequenting their other businesses.

Finally, the article that purports the council members are intimidated says enough for me. Vote them all out next election!!! Let's all get behind the tear down of this eyesore and return the entry to the Lakes Region to its beauty. Again, many thanks to John Ganong and Don Thurston for having the courage and the spine to not only speak out but to challenge the status-quo!

You should read this. It’s a transcript of the Baldi's bankruptcy. It just goes to show you their mentality. These people only care about themselves and will skirt the rules any way they can to satisfy their own selfish needs.

They don't care about the area or anyone else but themselves.

Another view. For those who have not driven around back on the drive-in's entry road. Taken by cell phone by friend and emailed to me.

It is funny since I do not know the owners I did a Google search and came across the same thing. What a joke that read was.

As we drive thru the Weirs and drive frequently around the lake...we have decided that this is the WORST eyesore in the region....BAR none!! What a shame this beautiful lake has to contend with this ugliness. We feel for the next door neighbors...we have no feelings for the owners...they have allowed this blight to continue for toooooo long! Bulldoze that place....

And then bulldoze the owners....

I also find it odd that the city won't do anything to step in and tear it down themsleves. They are getting ready to write a check for $2.16 million for the Laconia Prison property. But, I guess I don't blame the city that much, I'm sure they know if the pay the expense to tear it down they will never get a dime out of the Baldi's. I think the city would have better odds at winning Power Ball than getting a dime out of the Baldi's.

Maybe City should do it and of course place Lien on property, AND a lien on the rental revenue which contractor pays!!!!

I wonder if any Baldi family member, or any member of Chamber of Commerce, or any official in City Government, or any member of government in any neighboring community? I hope they are reading all over this forum!

From the FB comments it makes you wonder. She did make a comment about the local nasties. The trouble is she is the one who is the local nasty with the eyesore.
As for all those comparing this to the Meredith fire well you really can’t.
These are two totally different situations. We know nothing about what goes or is going on behind the scenes at either location. Only so much is made public thru the news media and we all know just how accurate and believable the news media is now a day.
I have a sister in law who had pipes burst in her house last December. She still has had very little work completed because of problems dealing with the insurance company.
There is between 70 and 80K worth of damage.
In her case one of the byproducts of dealing with a small insurance company, she had to threaten a lawyer because they were dragging their feet so bad with the claim.

Don’t forget politicians! Lawyers and politicians have to be the lowest form of life on the planet. There is no low they will not stoop too.
When you need a lawyer you need one, but you feel dirty the whole time you are around them and glad to be away when it is over.
