I've often stepped up on my soapbox and complained about the conditions of small towns in america, including Vermont. I've had the opportunity to live in a lot of places and travelled to many areas when I worked for the government. Wisconsin and Minnesota are two of the few, if not only, states where small town americans seem to take pride in their property. Throughout both of these states houses and downtown areas are maintained well. Houses are painted and yards are orderly without trash piled up. Compare upstate NY and Vermont to Minnesota and Wisconsin and we should be embarrassed.
