Laconia: Best: the lake, work, some of the neighborhoods, youth sports leagues and some of the other outdoorsy type stuff. The bad: some of the neighborhoods, the homelessness and the school system. Side note: I’m not to usually complain about schools. I know teachers are under funded and under paid. That being said we have lost good people in the school system due to high ups being part of a good ol boys club. I have brought up concerns here and there and am met with snide comments by administrators. Along with high school teachers pushing kids on how to think and how they should vote. Voting to me and how I raised my kids is a private matter that we raised our kids to find what’s important to them and then support whoever best represents that with them.
