police motorcycle museum in meredith

I agree. I wish them well......but they'll make more money if they lower their admission price.

Gladly paid the $10 fee, thought it was a very fair price given the investment they had to put into this museum. I'm happy they chose Meredith! Enjoyed meeting the owner, had some really nice antiques upstairs. The owner took some time, gave me some history on a few of the bikes, and some of the other memorabilia. The good news is he has more bikes at home, and other contributors to the museum, so they plan to change the bikes out from time to time, so if you visit again you won't be seeing the same motorcycles everytime. Very cool.

I noticed these likelike mannequins today as I drove by the new museum. The male officer was positioned next to Rt. 3 and was slowing down the traffic all by himself

While there is no mention or announcement about closing in the website, a sign out front of the entrance to the www.americanpolicemotorcyclemuseum.com says it is closing on July 18.

.....seems a little unusual? Am sorry to see it close, and wonder what will be happening with that large old barn building that used to be home to a busy antiques business.

What more could Peter Mayhew do? He complied with all town,state and federal regulations governing his business and has been a responsible and respected business person for 30 years or more.
I suspect that the closing of the museum might be due to issues other than his neighbors.

Pontoon Goon · 07-16-2016, 08:56 AM

Samiam, I ask this respectively, would you open your restaurant in that building ?

fatlazyless · 07-16-2016, 10:58 AM

In that location, how's about a Burger King restaurant, the 'home of the Whopper' and their very popular flame broiled Whopper for a doable, successful year 'round restaurant business???? That could be a real good addition to the area ...... will 'The King' come to Meredith ...... and bring his famous char-broiled taste ....... please???

Respectfully, there's like no way the wafting fumes of 275-lb Uncle Charlie getting cremated next door could out-smell, or over power the fumes emitted from a Burger King ....... el problemo would become no problemo ...... fight fire with fire!

Fast food restaurants such as your "Burger King" are franchises.

Even a "Down & out guy, livn that Walmart side of the lake" ..... can ..... quit his job .... at Rand's Hardware .... in Plymouth, NH ..... and purchase a franchise.

I would visit it every bit as much as I visit McDonalds ....

I would guess,the real money would be, franchise fee/ start up equip, at least 1/2 a million probably more.

You make a good point and being in the food business, probably not.
Just have my doubts that the funeral home alone is the cause of their closing.

On Tuesday, August 22, the Meredith selectmen voted 5-0 to not allow boat storage in the field next to the Meredith Motorcycle Museum. That seems like a big surprise 5-0 decision. Storing boats, and there's been a lot of boats stored there, was not an acceptable use and they said no to an exception to the zoning rule.

Boat storage seemed like a real good, long term, doable business in that location, and it transformed a large, flat, very empty, grassy 2-acre field on the Daniel Webster, Route-3 highway into a boat storage business location. So, where do all the many, many boats.....mostly pontoon boats ....... end up ........50-expensive boats need a winter home ...... Have Boats - Will Travel?

Will go look for a newspaper article link in the Laconia Daily Sun......seems kind of interesting ......oh well ...... what the heck am I do up here at 5-am?

http://www.laconiadailysun.com/newsx...t-storage-plan

The number one best use for that location would most definitely be a Burger King ....... home of the Whopper ...... land of the King! Please, please, please ...... let it be a Burger King ....... www.bk.com/menu ......most definitely an acceptable use.....and probably, no one would notice the fumes coming from the funeral home chimney, next door......it would all just blend!

How the heck have you lived this long eating at McDonalds and Burger King? They are disgusting!

http://www.laconiadailysun.com/newsx...f-boat-storage

Am trying to think of something intelligent to say here regarding this Meredith boat storage decision ...... what, me worry? ......... I give up ......oh well ......like, who cares that boats are stored there?

p.s. re: Mcdonald's food ........I drink a lot of their water, (and not too much of their food) which is totally free and very high quality water at the Meredith Mcdonald's ..... ditto that for the ice cubes, too, plus they have nice big paper cups...... all "priced for free" ......my type of price! If you ever drink the Town of Plymouth, town water, at the Plymouth McDonalds ..... and compare it to the Meredith town water at the Meredith McDonalds....... Meredith free town water gets an "A" .....while Plymouth free town water gets a "D."

If the Meredith McDonald's reads this post ...... thanks very much for your very high quality water, and maybe you should get a subscription to the New York Times, Wall St Journal, or Boston Globe ........ as a way to boost your business .....like, no kidding! .....and just leave the papers out there on your little, free newspaper table .... along with the Union Leader, and the LaDaSun ...
