You are "confused," I'll agree with that assertion.

I didn't say anything negative about the Lakes Region.

Heck, I like it enough I visited it this summer.

No, the issue is not what I may think, but what others may think.

Consider cabin colonies.

I recall a time when they were pretty much fully utilized, and there were more of them.

During the past decade or so, maybe longer, I've see a disturbing increase of "Vacancy" signs on them, e.g. the ones I drive by on the South Shore.

Maybe things are thriving elsewhere, but the cabins seem empty / underutilized on Rt. 11.

Consider the Weirs: it is not as popular as it used to be.

Consider the M/V Mt. Washington: same thing.

The one common characteristic the above three share is that they are "Old School."

Tastes change: that is my point.

Keep up, or fall behind.
