Bike Week is NOT the problem.... Its really what keeps the Weirs going!
The problem is a changing demographic... and the commercial property / business owners and the city of Laconia refusing to change or do anything about it.
My vision for the Weirs would be a walkable version of a small cluster of fun funky bars/cafes/shops similar to Key West.
The Faro property could be the far corner anchor destination. They already have that Awesome upper deck. Or maybe even the Naswa...
The Paradise Club and Weirs the Beef / Hideout can anchor the other corner. The Paradise has a great outside tiki bar that could be capitalized on.
We have the Gringo, and that place does a good business year round. Tower Hill tavern could be an AWESOME music venue, but the people who own the half moon cottages want quiet at 10... hard to make a go of it with that silly restriction.
The problem is the middle of the strip... that's where the vision is required. The arcades & the Pier need to be remade into a fun place people want to go. A funky café or bar... funky shops?
its obvious the status quo is not working....
