In answer to Marty G's challenge:

In the Catskills, nobody puts Baby in a corner. But apparently in New Hampshire, the Weirs put Moxie in a corner.

Lo-Ammi was first the name of one of Hosea's sons, meaning "not my people", and there is some textual evidence that he was not exactly one of Hosea's biological children, but rather by someone else that Gomer slept with.

So why a parent would give this name to their son is beyond me.

The Loammi Bean statue included a water fountains for horses, dogs and people. In 1931, it was destroyed when a lightning bolt struck and decapitated the soldier figure. According to the Laconia Citizen, “The head of the soldier was severed from the body, and shortly after, the entire statue toppled into the street.” Locals snatched up arms, hands, and other fragments. The newspaper noted: "The head has disappeared, and just who added that to his collection, is not known.”

What would be a college ice -- shaved ice in the colors of your college? Note the period at the end -- this sign is a complete sentence.

Thanks, I had to look it up, but I now know what a hellgrammite is. Sure to be a great conversation starter.

Is this a diabolic version of Vegemite? Apparently not, it seems to be an insect larva (for damselfly) that is used as bait.

I found this site and they have so much about this hotel and it's its history I had to share it.

I would love to have that Edison Phonograph Records banner

This wouldn't be New England if their wasn't some evidence of Moxie. Moxie is the official drink of Maine, but is appreciated (kinda) all over New England.

See if you can find it.

As is the fate of so many of these beautiful old structures (predominantly hotels seemingly), the Weirs burned to the ground in the great fire of 1924.
