Every time I see that 'entering Laconia' sign as I exit the Governor's Island bridge, I always think how Laconia missed the boat, big time, when Gilford got it. Laconia could pay for a new high school and middle school with a G.I. toll booth by charging all those Escalades, BMWs & Hummers one penney/horsepower for every trip back or forth from the mainland. Talk about a toll based on one's ability to pay. "Yes Dearie, just a brief 8:30 trip to the post office to get today's Journal, and will be right back in plenty time to supervise the lawn boy." "No honey, go take your time."
