One of the reasons I find April Fools day a terrible tradition.

I saw this earlier and thought it was some kind of satirical piece. Maybe, in an effort to keep boat speeds down, the Broads will become one giant construction zone. We all know that speeding fines in construction zones are doubled!!

On a slow news day I guess you just make stuff up.

They always have news.
April 1st Edition is usually worked on for weeks.
They try to be funny without being too political.

so I assume that the regularly scheduled passenger flights between Laconia and Moultonborough Airports are not a thing either???

And the related abbreviation, MMW. In today's context MMW is the Merrymeeting Waterway proposed in the early/mid 50's by Cap'n Jack Goodhue, to build a canal and lock system from Alton Bay to Dover. Goodhue Boat Yard had just installed the lake's largest capacity rail travel lift and he wanted to service 60'-80' yachts. In those days, Selectmen and Chambers of Commerce wanted large boats to come to public docks as a tourist attraction. Wolfeboro even had water and electricity on the "Cruiser dock".

Happy AFD.

I work in Dover....I would love being able to avoid Rt. 11!!!

A bridge would be too ugly: a tunnel would be much better.

It would take awhile to raise or lower you 504' up or down to se level, at high tide. You would have to start yesterday inorder to get thewre tomorrow.

Our 89-y-o friends called us this morning after seeing this in a panic, seriously ready to sell their condo. I told her it couldn’t possibly be true, but I had not remembered that today is AFD.
So between the bridge and 100 days of Bike Week……oy vey!! As soon as I saw it for myself, I called her right back!

With MC week to be extended to 100 days:

“Tower Hill plans to be open and serving 24 hours a day for the first 60 days,” St. Clair said. “With permission from the city council, of course.”

Tower Hill Tavern's owner, Anthony Santagate, could not be reached for an interview but said in a written statement he planned to purchase a small island in the Pacific with the proceeds from this year's rally.

The Laconia Airport Authority has been discussing plans with both the Boston University Rocket Propulsion Group (BUPRG) and Elon Musk's SpaceX to add spacelift capabilities to the airport.

The old northern runway will be converted for use as a launch vehicle assembly facility and launch/landing pad....
