I thought the Weirs was lame 20 years ago. My parents thought the same thing 20 years before that. My Grandfather sold his Weirs business some 20 years before that. And even though it really hasn't "changed" in those 60 years, it continues to be an attraction. Why? It has a public beach in a beautiful location and gives folks access to something they otherwise wouldn't have. And with that comes the need to eat, something to do to break up the time on the beach, people wanting to see and be seen, and there it is.

Hampton Beach. Salisbury Beach. Virginia Beach. Weirs Beach. At their core, they're no different. People, thankfully, just grow up and move on. The attraction is the beach.
