They even sometimes have musical entertainment for the coffee drinkers.
When we went there for coffee we also walked up and down Main St. and visited a few shops. There seems to be more people and activity now than in the past. Maybe a few more popular businesses there would help turn Laconia in the right direction. |
I agree it has the potential. However, there are a lot of transients walking around, and if you're a woman by yourself you do not feel safe. Last November, my wife had to pick up a prescription from Genesis and had to park in the CVS parking lot since the spaces on the street were unavailable. I got a panicked call from her because some tweeker was following her to her car, and she was concerned he was going to jump her.
