Today we drove to East Dummerton, VT. Nana had seen a review that listed nearby Brattleboro as one of the ten best places to live in the country (wish I could find the reference). So, we drove in. Supposed to be lots of artists and some "counter culture" people. We've been to weird places and loved them. We've been to Portland, OR. Remember the nude bicyclists in Freemont, WA last year? Brattleboro doesn't get on the list. It has a great New England church:
It has a curious former church that is now a drug store:
It also has street people, really weird other people, a lot of closed restaurants, and we couldn't wait to get out.
A friend of Poppa's warned us to not "over-dose on quaint" while in Vermont. According to the local news, the locals are over-dosing on something else. Vermont came in first in drug use/per capita.
