doesn't anyone fly continental express?


as for traffic! only people in ca can comment after nj.

Burlington is like a big piece of flypaper...it's keeps all the urban/suburban minded folks that want to move to Vermont in one place and from moving to my little quiet corner of Vermont.

Is your corner of Vermont the Mad River Valley? Is that what MRV stands for in your screen name?

Hey Ian...Still trying to figure out the Texas comment. As for Phish. If you ask 100 random people outside of the northeast who they are, they will think you are talking about something you eat. I like to listen to them, but as far as revolutionizing music in the 90's? That is a bit drastic. They are the Grateful Dead, but newer.

Oktaren...I am from WNY originally. There is no comparison to here. In WNY the schools are better, there is a full time philharmonic, there are actual sports teams, the people are more neighborly, there are actual industries (not cottage industries), technology, banking and commerce are growing (finally), and so much else. It is not a perfect place and there is crime and other problems in WNY, but then again, the region has twice as many people as the state of Vermont.

You should explore your options in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth area. Your rationale for disliking Burlington seems to point towards an appreciation for Texas. The normal life you crave is very much alive in Plano, Texas. As for Phish......as all art is subjective its hard really to prove an opinion. However, I have seen Phish play to sold out crowds throughout the West and West Coast, from Colorado to Portland to San Francisco to LA to Las Vegas, etc. Which leads me to believe that they had a National audience. Also they do not sound much like the Grateful Dead (another fave of mine). Phish is way more post-modern and contemporary. Not trying to nitpick, but you seem unhappy with the Burlington scene.......Dallas is warm, has big sports teams, a big international airport, malls, big subdivisions, factories, oil, country music and classical, "hot" bleach blonde ladies, big highway systems, and best of all, no weirdo hippie scene. You'll love it.
Meanwhile little Burlington will soldier on with its "strange" carhart clad women, liberal politics, bearded men, mud boots, and zoning laws. Thank god for freak friendly towns!

I'm not from anywhere close to buffalo, over an hour FURTHER west! so, no, none of that applies to there.
