Laconia, New Hampshire, a dowager mill town, established in 1855, & with a current (year round) population of around 16,000, is always quaint — but in the winter, once the cold sets in it becomes even more attractive in that it assumes an air of lanquidity & laid-backness. The sidewalks are near empty & everything looks & feels unhurried.
When I lived in ‘Gilford’, which is basically next-door, I used to spend a lot of time in Laconia. But now living 40-minutes away I hardly ever visit — other than on Thursday, IF I am attending a ‘Rotary Club‘ meeting. Well today was Thursday & I did attend Rotary. After the meeting I ambled about, happily, for an hour taking in the sights. Didn’t really meet or bump into anyone on the sidewalks. I didn’t venture into any of the establishments after I had bit adieu to a friend at his Realty Office. I like my ambling to be tranquil — & it was. If you have never been, visit Laconia — ideally on a semi-warm, winter day.
