By this logic though we should still have motels in the area with no indoor plumbing or 'lectricity.

Sometimes things run their course, customers desires change, and places (like the Lakes Region) that ultimately survive on cash influxes from visitors are best served adapting to the times.

The historic Weirs certainly sounds like it was a great location in its heyday, when it offered the things that people wanted. The Weirs of today is simply leaving money on the table by refusing to adapt to the modern customer.

Nostalgia is nice, but it rarely pays the bills.
