Default Canoe

Got a call today that Canoe has changed its name to Checkers. Does anyone know why?

Good Food, The freshest salad around Check out the pizza buffet special nite good deal price wise You can walk from the Center Harbor docks on Winnipesaukee.
Thank you for your feedback!

A little bit of history from the web on Chequers. Looks like they are embracing the "Kid friendly" atmosphere again.

I was there Monday with wifey and 8gv jr. I was looking for Canoe signs and almost missed the place. Wifey had the save with the last minute vector. The food was great as usual but service was pretty slow.

Do you suppose they'll get rid of all the canoes inside in favor of checker boards?

Me thinks you are joshing us.

I know their sign was down but that was because it got blown down during the high winds that we had.

That's a good explanation because they had Canoe all over everything else inside. Thank goodness!

Default CaChequers?

I was driving home from the gym the other morning and caught that as well. I had to turn around and get a pic.

Mother Nature was playing a joke on Scott O!

Default Oh No...

I'm hoping this is a joke cuz Canoe is our favorite restaurant on the lake and there are enough "Kid Friendly" places.
Say it ain't so Scott O!!!!!

They absolutely changed their name. It's just unclear if the name was changed FROM or TO Canoe...

It was changed to Canoe. The name in the picture was the last restaurant.

Canoe is still Canoe. The pic I posted was the result of the wind removing the Canoe sign that had been screwed or applied over the top of the old restaurant's sign.
