“on Church Street is the coolest place to be. There’s varieties of people including hippies, mostly new hippies. There’s also a restaurant type place off Church Street called Necters, which is where all the bands eat when they come to play down the street at Club Toast. Necters serves the most addicting gravy fries you will ever eat. Bands such as Phish, Belizbeha, and tons of others eat there. There’s also really cool places to shop, and there’s a green which is the hippies grassy knoll.”
Update:”Just wanna let you folks know about Burlington. Nectars is spelled with an ‘a’ not an ‘e’ like on the site. Club Toast no longer exists, but there is the Higher Ground in Winooski (just five minutes drive from downtown), where bands like Smokin’ Grass, Toots and the Maytals and Max Creek play. For a small club, they get alot of big name bands. Phish heads will find some of the members of that band step in and jam sometimes. The waterfront has been expanded and is much more inviting than that “grassy knoll” you mentioned. Its been years since City Hall Park was a true gettaway destination. Plus, the Long Trail is nearby and you can hike right into town.”

I lived in Burlington Verrrrmont for 2 years , and just wondered why no one bathed even with a big bath tub called LAKE CHAMPLAIN at the end of Church Street, look ,free water, jump in, you might kill Champ but save the rest of the world. Keep the sticks, bags, and any wannabe crap off the street, you know what your life isn’t that bad, you goto UVM your parents are worth a lot of money so get over it, there is more out there to worry about if a tree screams when a branch breaks off you dirt surfin, patchouli smelly, Phish lovin, tree hugging, trust-a-farian.
Burlington,VT. Burlington is one of the best places to live in the United States. If you like skiing, snowboarding, hiking, camping, swimming, health food, fitness, mountains, beautiful scenery, lake champlain & the water, mountain biking, running, kayaking, boating, good restraunts, great food, good coffee & bagels & bookstores, nice movie theaters, pubs, great downtown & atmosphere on church street. Excellent Job market & Burlington has numerous festivals & events throughout the year! I personally reccomend the Vermont Beer Festival In July. It is great for entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, etc. Also Burlington is loaded with colleges UVM is here as well as 5 other colleges! Very low crime rate! Very safe city! The people in Vermont are super cool, very friendly. Another Amazing Bonus is that Montreal Canada is less than an hour away, you truly have a place that is like no other. You can truly live happily ever after in this town for the rest of your days. Peace & love to all. May all your dreams come true. Enjoy Burlington, VT & all it has to offer (continue to make/create a beautiful city add your dreams to this beautiful city!). Vermont & Burlington is a very spiritual place. It is truly Heaven on Earth!!! Warmest Wishes & Blessings on your journey.

How is life in VT?
How is life in good old Vt?
My recent visit was my first time in Burlington. Burlington is one of the most scenic towns I’ve ever visited. It sits on a hillside overlooking Lake Champlain. Most people I encounted seemed real nice and went out of their way to help me. Panhandling is legal,
on the condition you stay 9 feet away from any businesses and don’t agressively solicit other people. If you stay within those guidelines, the cops won’t fuck with you. With the exception of one cop, Burlington has the fewest assholes I’ve ever seen of any police force…anywhere. However, the panhandling is not good here
and don’t expect to make a lot of money downtown. One evening while I was panhandling on Church St., two really nice young ladies brought me a pizza, even though I’m a vegan and couldn’t eat it, I thought that was really sweet of them to think of me. Thanks Alana & Hannah. Oh, for all you vegans, there’s not a vegan restaurant per se, but there are a lot of vegan options. There’s City Market, a health food co-op on Winooski Ave., And Shalimar’s Indian Restaurant also on Winooski, Additionally, there’s Stone Soup and Ali Baba’s on Main St. Go to Ali Baba’s on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights and tell my buddy Elijah, Gemini sent you. Another thing thing travelers,
you can sleep on the benchs on Church St. At 8:00 am, the cops will nicely ask you to move on . Finally, there is a substantial hippie community in Burlington.
Namaste,
Gemini Osiris Dream

PS: Thanks George for turning me on the other night and thanks for the bud. I think I’ll smoke it after I finish this review !
Further Update:Higher Ground… that was located in Winooski is now in South Burlington on Williston Road. Dark Star Orchestra played last week and kicked a$$!!
