Mayhew Funeral Home.....

[Greene's Basin Girl]

I feel very sorry for her. I am not sure I would even think about the future of the commercial zone when I purchased a home. Yes--I should have been thinking about it, but I might not have. I do feel for her. I would be sick if I continued to smell the burning of dead bodies. For crying out loud- I live where I can't even see another house and I like it that way. I have to say living in a rural area was an important choice for me. That being said-unless you own a great deal of land around your house you may end up with neighbor's that you don't want. I bet there aren't many people who own a house that would trade their house for her's. She is in a very tough situation.

One more thing to think about...how about this. The next time the buidling at the end of the Weirs strip becomes available (currently Weathervane), someone leases it, and opens an Adult Bookstore complete with tobacco products, and pot smoking devices....pipes, papers, water bongs...little something for everyone.
No big deal...commercially zoned. The neighboring businesses that are already there...too bad for them.
Common sense, folks...common sense.

I don't know how that use would harm the neighboring businesses. Laconia may have an ordinance against it. I have no idea if the pot stuff is legal or illegal to sell in NH. If it is not, and someone can make a viable business out of it. I have seen numerous establishment such as you describe and usually they are pretty well taken care of and discrete.

Here's an idea, move it to China.

Whiddershans (spelling) survived on main street in Meredith for Many years. They had display cases Full of various smoking paraphernalia.

You guys took my post literally? Really? No, seriously, you thought that is what I actually meant.
Wow. Just trying to paint a picture. Although something may indeed be legal, it may not always be the best idea. It may not "fit in".
Like a large smoke stack, spewing forth the spell of burning bodies, across the street from a residential home.
It may be legal, but what an incredibly cruel/selfish/meanspirited/I only care about myself/just plain awful, thing to do.

I am sure most of us have seen it but it's not really a very big chimney per say.
It looks more like a slightly modified cupola.

Don't worry the mean spirited, self centered, think only himself, guy with the smoke stack body burning barbeque pit is on my radar. You do not mess with mother nature. Pay back may take years, but it will be a bitch.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
