So, I've never set foot inside Faro, or the prior Lobster Pound, so how much do you expect to pay there for a big, fancy-dancy dinner with everything?

www.faroitaliangrille.com/menu ..... looks very expensive compared to staying home and making tuna fish, rice, and canned pineapple aka a one pot backpacker style dish!

Face it ..... the Weirs Beach area is basically doomed to be an economic flop forever .... if you want to pin the blame on any one reason .... attach fault to the NH Veteran's Assoc line of about eight old, waterfront monstrosity, seasonal buildings that line Shoreline Drive, across from the public docks ..... and, ditto that blame for Bike Week, too.

One big reason why the NH Veteran's Assoc buildings can survive on that waterfront land is because it pays no property taxes and makes most of its revenue from sidewalk space rental use during Bike Week. Enough revenue to maintain the buildings with new roof shingles, new exterior paint, and ongoing maintenance. In 1923 or so, the NH legislature some how donated the land to the Veterans Assoc, so it will probably be there, forever.

These NH Veterans building basically occupy commercial waterfront land, and are basically unoccupied, 95% of the time. Is it a museum for these old, unheated, un-foundationed, seasonal, Civil War era buildings ..... or what is it?

It is what it is, as they say, which is what you say, when there's nothing else to say .... you don't say!
