Yellowknife, NWT, Canada. Not sure why I knew that, but oddly I did!


So here goes, Vermont is know for its maple syrup, liberal ideals and foliage.

But, what is its most popular tourist attraction?

Shopping malls. In Vermont, there is no law against public nudity, and nudist groups lately have been going shopping together. Tourists come to watch them.

Believe it or not, there is really only 2 shopping malls in the state. Or at least what most people would consider malls, and both of them are marginal at best.
And mist people from there I really wouldn't want to see nekkid!

So....

I am sure...sad to say...its Ben & Jerrys.... Vermont does have a lot of Cows, dairy is big industry there....takes a lot of dairy to make Ice cream.

B & J do do a lot of good on the social awareness issues , so , I guess its a good thing.....come to think of it....maybe we need to have a few more Vermont's ?...I only reference this now that health care is such an issue....Kieth O. said it well last nite, when remarking about Limbaugh's prize of Hawaii health care, one of the nations best. Who would have thought Rush would be a spokesman for health care ?...O' but I ramble...still think its Ben & Jerrys

Correct it is Ben & Jerry's and the second place is a locally owned cider mill just a few miles up the road. During foliage season, it is not uncommon to see 1/2 dozen or more buses in the parking lot

There are three outlet malls in Vermont. How many busses are in their parking lots?
