I stumbled upon this thread I posted to a couple of years ago. It is interesting to see which predictions have come to be, those we are still hoping for and those it's just not going to happen.
I don't think one of my predictions will come to be as Massachusetts just passed gambling. I honestly thought NH would beat MA to the punch. Some MA residents may still cross the boarder to buy their cigarettes (not sure why with the price of gas these days) and other needful things but why leave Dodge when you will be able to lay down a dollar in your own back yard.
My updated prediction for 2012, when we all visit or pass through the Weirs this summer we will still get to see that lovely burnt down hotel
I feel bad for the nearby business and home owners who take care of their property and have to look at that every day.
