What you are seeing is a change in the lakes region demograpics. Many people who have visited the lake for many years and camped, are now buying property and remodeling/rebuilding into homes like they are used to living in. In coming years many will retire at least part time to these homes. Renters and people willing to rent their property are bocoming fewer and fewer. As the population becomes grayer, more affluent and requires more services, the native population can only see their economic situation improve as will quality of life. More retail, better medical care. and better local infastructure will benefit those that were "here first". There will be some casualties as someone retired on little savings and income will not be able to afford the taxes that will continue to increase. I see the Weirs in 15 years as a strip of quaint specialty shops antique stores and resturants similar to say New Hope, PA. Business's that change with the times will do very well.
