hmmmmm, not quite sure how to take your post broadhopper. Didn't sound all that politically correct to me. Just my own opinion. Ethnic population from Lowell, Lawrence? Non spenders? WOW

May not be politically correct but it is a crowd that is not going to lay down $$ for a coach handbag, $20 box of chocholate, or $100 meal at the Weirs. It's not all ethnic but it's not a rich crowd either.

I know what your saying. But I am not rich. The room I was in was only $240.00 per night. 'Bout the same as the Wolfeboro Inn and it was actually about on par with the room quality as well. That was in the middle of Summers busy season there. Many of the shops were of the Hampton Beach variety. Small Jewelry stores, T-shirt stores, little snack shops etc. At least that was the stuff I and my wife went into. One store that sold novelty signs, I loved. But I can't post what they said on the public forum and all...

I just think back in the day everyone wanted a waterfront home and the towns let them. So not much public water front to do anything with, is left around here.

I have boated on Lake George several times.... the biggest difference between Lake George and Lake Winnipesaukee is that Lake George is a state park! There is very little (comparitively speaking) privately owned waterfront on Lake George. All of the islands are public and you can camp on them. You have to buy register your boat with the Lake George Park Commision prior to splashing it... registration fee varies depending on boat. There is a 45MPH speed limit but the enforcement is spotty... I personally witnessed a 165 MPH pass by a well known Lake George resident.

To be truthful NH could use to learn a few things from the Lake George chamber of commerce... they welcome tourists and have several LARGE gatherings every year @ Lake George... Americade, Harley Rendezvous, and there is a MASSIVE hot rod /old car show as well. All welcomed with open arms!

Yeah, too bad. I know Don too. I actually used to know most of the team, as they flew out of my Civilian terminal at Hanscom Field in Bedford Ma. We used to service their charter flights. Did the same for the Celtics and most of the competition for those teams. Also did many rock bands and Hollywood celebrities and such, like the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Cruise, Goldie Hawn, Brad Pit, Queen noor of Jordan, even the Dalai Lama.....etc...etc....
