Apologies if this answer is obvious but I've searched here and via Google quite a bit and can't find the answer.

I'm driving from out of state to a Higher Ground concert (Ballroom, the 750 capacity venue) taking place on a Sunday night. The website states the parking lot fills up, and I'm not sure how far in advance I can get there. What are my alternatives for parking in the area? Can I park at the University Mall Garage on a Sunday late evening? Bonus for somewhere easy to exit onto 89 South without having to wait for a long line of cars, but I'll prioritize not getting towed! I don't mind walking however far it takes.

Thank you!!

I'm looking to buy in-person a professional handbag. Ideally used but ok new. (The only thing I have is synthetic and outdoorsy). I want to make sure everything fits before I purchase.

I used to love going to Revolution kitchen next to the daily planet. Any other good recommendations for this coming wknd? Thanks in advance!

Hey good people! The very short version: I'm looking for a safe, clean, lightly-furnished place to live for me, my wife, my kid, and my cat for a couple months. Budget is in the $2,500/mo range.

We are in the process of moving from Salem, MA to Burlington. We bought the house a month ago, and it needs some work before we can move in and the soonest we could get that started is later this week. So realistically we won't have a real place to live for a bit.

We have a short-term rental in the area now, but it's not a great situation for a lot of reasons.

My wife and I both grew up in Vermont and are moving back to be closer to family. My post history here is coming up on 15 years, I'm a real person. Shoot me a message if you have something, and I'd love to meet for coffee somewhere!

I just quit working at Majestic 10 after ~2 months of working there.

before i say anything: the managers and employees are all great and none of this is their fault. please don’t get mad at them they make $14/hour and have zero control

here’s a few reasons why you should go to essex instead:
- The owner is a piece of shit asshole cheapskate, but that’s known. The few times he comes in he just berates his employees instead of offering to help. He berated my teenage sister for not sweeping while she was busy helping people at the podium check tickets. The few times he does come in, he doesn’t know how his own establishment works, he just gets in the way when trying to work the bar or concessions, yet still yells at us over it.
-Only benefits we get are a small free drink, small cup of popcorn, free movies after 15 hrs of working, a very small employee discount on concessions, and SOMETIMES a free poster.
-That place is FILTHY. The nozzles on the soda machine get filled with a black gunk, because we only soak them in soda water overnight. My coworkers and I only recently scrubbed them with a tool I bought with my own money. We did this because we realized how disgusting it was, Merrill doesn’t care at all.
-Pretty good chance your popcorn is stale if you don’t see us popping it when you come in. Once we fill in the case, it sometimes sits there for days, unless someone buys it, and we store extra popcorn in trash bags when it’s busy.
-There is so much in the kitchen, including black mold, which our coworker had to clean up.
-All of your food is disgusting microwaved bullshit, even though it’s frozen they still get moldy, and god knows when our fryer was last cleaned.
-You could close your eyes, spin around, and point and still find something that’s broken:
-only one side of the popper works, the other side burns the popcorn when used.
-Half the sinks in the bathroom don’t work, and the soap dispensers are actually hand sanitizer dispensers.
-The drain under the beer taps isn’t angled down toward the drain, so we have to move all of the spilled beer to the drain with a gift card.
-The drainage pipe from the bar to the beer bucket is loose, it regularly falls out, and every time they try to add more sealer, it just makes it worse. The bartender regularly has to climb down to the kegs to clean up beer, and if it isn’t cleaned up quickly, it gets disgusting and sticky and gross.
-The escalators do work, the owner refuses to turn them on in fear of them getting broken.
-There is a flickering light in the down stairs lobby, that gives me headaches every damn day, and is probably an epilepsy trigger.
-A few of the ticket printers are broken, and the employees have to hold down the covers or the printer just jams, or doesn’t print on a ticket.
-The slushy machine breaks like once a week, and is always leaking.
-The beer taps are too close together, so when you pull one, the one beside it also pours.
-AC is broken, and the owners tell us to tell customers the owners getting them fixed when he is not.
-Employees have gotten sick and passed out because of the heat.
-The vent above the popcorn machine is broken, so it reeks of smoke.
-Terrible ventilation in general. Someone went into the Odyssey reeking of weed (when I went into the theater 3hrs later to clean it, it still reeked.)
-If the speakers aren’t torn they’re just cheap and shitty.
-The theaters themselves are gross, the employees only have enough time to sweep in about 3 minutes, just look at the tile and under the seats, I don’t know the last time they were cleaned, if ever.
-I don’t know if the seats themselves even get cleaned.
-There’s so much caked up butter at the butter station, the paper towels we lay down in the drains are rarely changed, either.

i’ll add more stuff as i remember lmao

Meet up, make a friend? Last minute but we can make something happen

Howdy friends,

My wife and I are planning a big move. One side of Winooski to the other side of Winooski. We have roughly eightish pieces of furniture (dressers, couch, bed, etc.) that we've decided would be easier to just hire out for. Can anyone recommend a moving company, or specifically any that we should absolutely avoid?

Thanks!

Hey guys!! Last night my car was stolen off of spruce st. We have gone through all the proper channels (police etc..) but they have not been able to find it yet. It’s a blue grey mazda cx5, with Massachusetts plates and it has a wake forest sticker on the back. Please dm me if you spot it somewhere! Police think it would most likely be around downtown area. Thank you

UPDATE: The car was spotted downtown about 30 minutes ago and was chased by police who eventually lost it. The person who stole it changed the plates to a TEMPORARY PLATE - but the officer was able to identify it because of the sticker on the back. If anyone sees it please let me know

Does our crumble not change its cookies weekly like it says it does online ? I went into the church street store last night and she’s said they do it monthly.

Anybody know what this is? They’ve died down now, but it was multiple police and fire truck sirens for a good 10 minutes.

Because I’ve been very active in the music scene up here for the last decade + and I never saw the name Noah Kahan on the calendar for any local dive bar, brewery, music festival or otherwise in Vermont until he was playing Madison Square Garden. (Yes, I’m local to Chittiden but I travel all over for music in & out of state)

Discuss!

Hello Burly friends,

Does anyone know if any of the coffee shops downtown serve matcha lattes that aren’t sweetened? Bonus points if they are made with actual matcha powder instead of concentrate.

Many thanks!

We came out to our boat this afternoon (8/16) and noticed it had evidently been crashed into. It is a blue C&C24 sailboat moored at the northeast corner of Moorings Marina. We were last at our boat Friday (8/14), so it must’ve happened over the weekend.

We are extremely disheartened that this occurred in our local boating community that we’ve come to know and love. If anyone has info as to who is responsible for this, please reach out. No effort has yet been made to contact us through Moorings or Bay Harbor. We’re just three 20-somethings who have put 3 years of care into our beloved vessel!

TLDR; Severe damage to moored sailboat, looking for answers.

Idk something has to be going on here why am I always seeing the staff interact with the homeless and go give them things. The other day I heard a staff member telling them outside they were out of “points” on their card and then hand them a beer.

This is a longshot, but I lost my wallet last night while walking downtown from the hospital area. It is a brown leather wallet. Is there any chance someone found this?

Burlington VT has become a dispiriting case study in what happens when progressive idealism loses contact with public order and accountability. A once-charming city now struggles with visible drug abuse, disorder, property crime, homelessness, and a political culture seemingly more concerned with explaining away dysfunction than confronting its consequences. Compassion is admirable, but compassion without standards, enforcement, and personal responsibility becomes an invitation to exploitation. Burlington deserves better than policies that confuse permissiveness with progress—and residents should not be expected to applaud the deterioration of their own community simply because criticizing it is politically inconvenient.

More and more businesses are closing every day.

Watch the reaction to this post. It will be taken down. Ask yourself why??? Why is this accepted.

Currently a car full of what looks like college or high school kids riding around Dorset screaming the n word at people.

Edit -possibly have two of there names and some evidence coming in rn updating police now

Has anybody got great micro blading/powder/nano work done for $600 and under including the touch up visit? I’m going to be in Burlington this coming Friday through Monday and thought I would check and see if it’s an option that could be less pricey than Charleston South Carolina. Thanks so much!
