From October 2016 to May 2017, Laconia already spent their BIG MONEY with an 8-month, 4.2-million dollar Weirs Beach construction project to improve Lakeside Ave from Daniel Webster Highway to Tower Street and the parking situation at the beach parking lot. It included moving the utility wires underground, new parking spaces and meters, and sidewalk accents.

There's a LaDaSun article on it from May, 2017: 'Laconia moves Weirs Beach utility lines underground (or something).'

Last March the retail store in front of the Weirs Beach post office that used to be a great shoe store, Dexter's Shoes, had a sign for the Cozy Cottage Furniture store that's in Meredith moving to that Weirs' retail space, except the deal fell through, and the retail store space, formerly an arcade or something has been vacant for about a year now? It's got excellent visibility from the road, too?

Over at 918 Weirs Boulevard, just beyond Lilioukalani's ice cream, the city has removed the vintage information cabin, and that 75-yard stretch of Paugus Bay, waterfront property that has two septic pumping sheds, one at each end of the property, is prime for the city to do something with it. It could easily become the world's greatest kayak and stand up paddle board, car roof rack, hand carry, launch and paddle departure/return spot on Lake Winnipesaukee with its visibility from the street and that location on Paugus Bay. It needs parking, a very short kayak/sup walking path or steps, and a get in/get out dock for kayaks and sups.

With the Dive located just beyond the Mount Washington, you could take two hours, paddling one hour each way, to paddle your sup or kayak from 918 Weirs Blvd, paddle along the large swim area, outer rope line, and hit the Dive take-out window for an adult beverage, and head back down the channel, paddling with the flow, to 918 Weirs Blvd.

Where can I get me a hard hat that says Weirs' Beach and has two beer cup 16-oz holders up top for two 16-oz beer cups from the Dive ..... perfect dual purpose sun protection and a double beer Dive cup holder all on one bright yellow helmet!

Building 918 Weirs Blvd into a kayak/sup go-to venue will be the smartest money Laconia has ever spent in the last 50-years ..... since 1969!

So, what will happen with 918 Weirs Blvd?
