Wide Open saloon Weirs beach

[PaugusBayFireFighter]

Same old stuff at the saloon. A few construction vehicles. A backhoe, bobcat, trailer. No workers or any activity. The main floor is still there.

Thanks for the picture.

I like the new open air concept of the Saloon.

Why not if the pictures can be taken without going onto the property?

Doubt trespassing could be legally enforced.

What are the legal requirements for posting property?

Under state law (RSA 635:4), the legal manner of posting calls for posting durable signs with any words describing the physical activity prohibited, such as "No Hunting or Trespassing," in letters at least 2 inches high, and with the owner's name and address. The signs may be no further than 100 yards apart on all sides of the property and shall also be posted at gates, bars and all commonly used entrances.

Oooooooo...the restricted toilet saloon and vaudeville era drive-in property...wouldn't dare want to trespass on such hallowed ground. I was with a friend who thought the ticket booths at the drive-in entrance were outhouses for the construction people...
BTW...There are fences around the White House and The Pentagon...but you can still take pictures of them.

When the www.wowtrail.org gets built through there in a year or two or three or four or five or six or seven or eight or whenever, it seems like the trail could be passing down the alley that's between the wide open saloon lot and the drive-in movie lot.

There must be some use for the wide open commercial lot that would support a year round business as opposed to just a summer seasonal business. Maybe a Dunkin Donuts with a drive thru lane, or maybe a new local branch for the Meredith Village Savings Bank with a drive thru lane that offers a free temporary tattoo while u-do-ur-banking? No......probably much easier just to leave it a vacant lot.....that goes beer tent-vender space for 9-days in the middle of June every year!

...say-hey....how's about a stripper club with a liquor license, and maybe on Tuesday nites, it could be amateur nite where anyone who wants, could get the opportunity to present their not-too-practised choreography, enhanced by the on-site stripper atmosphere; .....u-know.....the stage, lighting and vertical 2" diameter, polished brass bar ..... it would easily attract some locals who slither out of the house for a couple hours of Tuesday nite independance ....... who just need somewhere to go ...... you know that's actually an EXCELLENT year round use for that vacant commercial lot! There are just not too many stripper clubs in the area......probably not even one? That is what would work in that spot.......a stripper club with Bud lite going for five dollars per glass......yes!....most definately....the highest & best use for that location.....and if I were choosing a name for this new stripper-bar......."Brandy's" ....... would be a good, easy-to-remember name!

....say-hey....u-doing-anything tonite......what-say we head over to Brandys tonite......and go see what's shak'n?

...do you think YOU might go....just to check it out......NO.....no-way.......not a chance!(?)

The alley way? between the wide open and the drive inn? you mean the drive way that leads to the parking lot for the wide open? and yes I would go to BRANDIS place if they rebuilt, the restaurant was doing good and i hope they can rebuild. even without the support of the community

OOOo disrespectful much, and yes you take pictures outside the fences, this picture was clearly taken inside the drive in. and for the people that do live behind the drive in they may find those signs useful. there are houses up there ya know. people that are NOT associated with the family ( other than owning homes on the land) that live there

I think he is correct, as many have stated the properties talked about including the drive in look like a dump.
I seriously doubt that anyone who lives here is going to go around promoting the Weirs Drive-in as a great place to take the family. On the contrary like many other places in the lakes region if it were not for those who flood into town during the summer months the drive-in would have been long gone years ago.
Weather you like to hear it or not the owners of the now torn down building and the Weirs drive-in are a scab on this area. The sad thing is that the drive-in could be so much more and possibly attract so much more business to the area if it was.

Im sorry so the families that live up there, live in dumps? what is wrong with you people. those "dumps" are someone home. where they live with their familes. Im hope they dont read the crap you people post on here, hard working people that are lucky to have a home at all. wow, disgusting and by the way, and I have family that lives up in those houses, and trailers and they are far from dumps, they are nice family homes, I would be more than happy to live in.

Yes you are correct but Laconia hands them out like candy. That is where they make all their money.You will start to see them in the newspaper who applied for what and how much they have to pay.

I've been summering at the Weirs my whole life and missed a drive-in movie only about a handful of years.
We look forward to it and do it more and more often lately. Pack a cooler with all your favorite snacks and adult beverages and tailgate for a flick - it's a ball.
Sadly, the family name associated with the other property is the same so the bashing continues...? Kinda sad!
I hope the Drive-In remains, yes it could be spruced up a bit, but to what end, so they have to charge $10 a person.
Looking forward to my traditional flick - Hunger Games Part 2 would be fun.
