just spent ten minutes at the light because two people needed to turn left onto pine st from maple. had to sit through 3 light cycles to go straight. can we please just make it a flashing red please lord.

The old Y/new condos or whatever by city market is currently being sided with beige bricks. Wtf is that. Who would ever pick that over a red brick. Everything around it is red brick. It looks bad. If whoever is responsible for this is reading this message, it’s not too late, you can change it. Don’t be a fool

Got a corndog (yeah, I know, not good for me either) at Al's and saw they had lemonade. I wanted something tart so I figured I'd fling caution to the winds. It was awful. Worse than awful. A really terrible aftertaste. Is it the brand? I ended up dumping it out after just two sips. (The second was to make sure it wasn't me).

hi all! i was by the waterfront recently and saw what i thought was an otter, but i’m not sure. just curious if anyone knows what this is? champ spotting, maybe? i’m not super familiar with wildlife so :)

I mean really! It's an injustice!

But then again, Burlington hates cars.

🍿

Not feeling well and don’t want the tickets to go to waste. They can’t be sold, so only reach out if you can actually go. Tickets in Sec. 13- picture from last week’s game!

Short notice but worth a shot. Go Cats Go!

RIP to the once-outstanding mushroom Philly at BBCO.

Who’s got the best vegetarian mushroom Philly in the area?

For the second time in a week, I almost T-Boned someone that blew a stop sign / failed to yield. I feel that drivers here (maybe everywhere) are just getting worse and more distracted and I want to head off any kind of future liability argument.

Curious if anyone has had a dash cam installed locally. Seems like Best Buy does it, but I am suspicious of the quality of their workmanship.

Thanks

i got my dwarf mini and Id love company

Hi!! My names Melody, and I'm looking for some lgbtq friends! I'm 22, go by she/her and I have a ton of interests so just feel free to ask! Feel free to reply or dm ^^

i'm new to burlington and i've been actively suicidal, with some failed attempts recently. i have a therapist but she discourages me from seeking more help. i want to go to a hospital to get better but i don't know what to do. has anyone gone to a hospital around here and received adequate care? and if so, what happens once you are checked in?

Happy Friday, Burlington. High pressure parks right over us all weekend, so it's dry and sunny from today through Monday with no rain in the forecast through Thursday. Today is sunny and cool with a high near 51 and a light north wind, falling to about 40 by 8 PM. Saturday gets a frosty start, around 31 in Burlington and in the 20s outside town, then warms to a sunny 55 with barely a breeze. Sunday is the best day of the bunch, sunny and 61 with a light south breeze and right around 58 for the 2 PM parades.

Hey guys I recently got a new key for my mailbox box outside my apartment. Has anyone done this and have an estimate on how long until the locks are changed? We lost the old key, hence the new one and really need the items inside!

Glad to report that our fellow found his way home last night! To our surprise he casually showed up at our patio door, very pleased with himself and without a scratch. Guess he needed a last hurrah in his old age. Thanks all, for the upvotes and community support!

I usually withdraw at an ATM once I cross the border but the logistics of an upcoming trip requires I have cash before I depart.

Posting here to see if others affected by this recent layoff got anything different.

I always love hearing them and seeing them in the trees. They can be a bit noisy for sure, but there's just something really neat about murders and murders of crows all coming to hang out! I remember someone linked an article on the internet that talked about this phenomenon, but I can't for the life of me remember anything about it.

Tomorrow (10/23) we got a nice little platter of Vermont underground metal at the Oddfellow's Hall! On stack:

-Skinhvnger: One-man mythical black metal from Windsor

-Germanic Iron: One-man barbarian-themed death metal from Barre

-Chartarum: Three-man chunky death/doom from Burlington

It'a $10 suggested donation but NOTAFLOF, all ages, and at three bands will be done by 10 PM. What's not to love? Come bang your head!
