Phil Scott is so unprepared for the next 6 months that voting for him again would be irresponsible.

Phil Scott is tired and stuck; he can't lead Vermont into the next two years.

It is irresponsible to vote to continue Scott's decline.

It is a dereliction to vote for Scott in the face of Trump's continued crimes, attacks on the USA, and Trump's cruelty.

Janoo is ready now.

Vermonters are ready for change now.

The responsible vote is Amanda Janoo.

I am going to vote for her - I hope you do TOO.

Here for work for a few months, I've been driving up to Barre to play but would love to find something local, thanks!

Does anyone know what is happening with the new Mexican restaurant that is supposed be moving into the former PaoPao/Ginger China building? The Herald article had said that the new owner’s plan was to open by the end of September but it looks as if no progress has been made. I’m hoping someone on here has the scoop!

This is a funny comparison. I lived near the Wayside Restaurant.

I had like 60 meals with Bill Doyle from the Washington Vermont Senate District from 1969 to 2017, he is the longest-serving state legislator in Vermont history.

Amanda Janoo reminds me of Bill Doyle.

It always felt like there was a nice fire in the fireplace when I was with Bill.

Their politics is different, but the warmth is real.

The joy of being with Vermonters the same.

I think she is ready.

I think Vermont is too.

Wow.

Janoo is going to be an excellent governor.

I am optimistic about the future of Vermont for the first time in decades.

For the first time ever, I can imagine the possibility of my child choosing to live here.

Hey fellow Rutlanders,
My wife’s birthday is this weekend and we’re celebrating with dinner and drinks tomorrow night. Before we go out, I’d love to take advantage of the sunset time (5:55pm) and clear forecast (fingers crossed), and have a nice romantic moment before the dinner plans.

Sadly, I can’t think of a location where we can park and enjoy the view either from our car or within a short walk. I’m trying to avoid a long walk/hike after the sun goes down, lest we tumble downhill and miss our dinner reservation.
Thanks for any thoughtful tips!

Fairly new to the area (Castleton) and don’t have many friends, yet. Pretty out of shape and gym illiterate, with bad gym anxiety. The move here wasn’t planned, and I’m way out of my depth and unaccustomed to not having a circle of friends nearby to energize and motivate me. I’m 43 btw, no medical issues besides high cholesterol, would describe myself as skinny fat. If you know anything about biomechanics and posture correction that would be a mega bonus. 6’2”, gay (if that matters), college educated, and eternally grateful for anyone willing to get me started on this journey. Look much younger (fwiw), usually clocked as early 30s, so younger folks concerned about working out with grandpa, do not fear. Open to anyone of any age as long as long as you’re a force for good in the world and motivational.

Edit: additional detail

Hello reddit! I just accepted a year round dream job at Killington and will be moving up there by mid November. I am familiar with the mountain but am not too familiar with the surrounding area other than yall really like beer which is a main attraction for me personally. Looking for recommendations on local

snowboard shops
hiking trails
farmers markets
view points
breweries
and dispensaries

Edit- thank yall for the support the reccs has been great thus far. Wanted to ask about how frequently snow usually interferes with getting around. Not talking shoveling and moving the car but is it common to get snowed in for days?

Thank you all in advance and stay stoked

Wow.

What's up Rutvegas fam! Do we have a good spa around? Not looking for any expensive treatments just somewhere to get a day pass and sit in a sauna/hot tub for a bit.

Amanda Janoo is ready for day one as Vermont's Govenor.

Amanda Janoo has what it takes to meet this moment in every way.

Smartest, best-prepared candidate I have ever met in person.

Best understanding of the actual Vermont that my family and I live in, of any VT politician I have ever seen.

She is excellent.

Amanda Janoo is the right choice for a better Vermont.

100%

I have been there and called. Is it ever open?

Hello Rutland Reddit!

We are trying to get Rutland a new concrete skatepark. It has been an on going process now going on 8 years. But we are the closest we’ve ever been and this Wednesday, Oct. 21, you can help!

The Rutland Skatepark project has secured a recreation committee meeting at City Hall to convince the Dept of Public Works and Board of Alderman that the empty 13,000 sf lot at 62 pierpoint ave is an ideal location for a skatepark.

If you agree that skateparks are good for the community, even if you’ve never used one, we’d love to see you there! Having the community show up and pack the room is the best way to make things move.

Please DM me for more details.

Thanks!
-Brooke

So is everybody ok with being monitored by reddit? Whatever happend to freedom of speech?

Any suggestions? My dad has Alzheimer’s and we are trying to navigate all that needs to happen. We have worked with a lawyer in the past, but they were slow to respond, gave us incomplete answers and charged an outrageous amount. We would email questions, get half answers, need to follow up for the rest of the info and then get charged per email!

Hi, I am out of state but needing to sell a property where I am the executor of the estate. It’s in West Rutland. I have a buyer and a price set. It doesn’t need listed, just a legal exchange of money, proper disclosures, and deed.
Can someone help me with this? I’m not sure if I will also need representation for the buyer.

Heyo! I just moved to the area about three months ago and need to get my hair cut at some point. I’m specifically looking for someone who can do long curly-ish hair. All I’m really looking for is the dead ends to get trimmed. If anyone has any recommendations, even if they aren’t curly hair specifically that’d be awesome!

After some rather stressful self-reflection, I just wanted to thank you. I panicked in that moment because, if I’m being honest with myself, I’ve accomplished so much, yet there’s still so much I want to do with my life.

I feel like I’m standing at a major crossroads, at the intersection of who I’ve been and who I want to become, stuck waiting at a red light, trying to figure out which direction to go next.

I realized that I want to be able to answer that question about myself confidently, without stumbling over my words or worrying about what might be socially acceptable to say. I want to have a real sense of purpose, something meaningful that defines how I spend my time and what I’m working toward.

I’m sorry if I made that moment uncomfortable or a little awkward. That genuinely wasn’t my intention. I think you caught me at a time when I’m doing some serious soul-searching, and I wasn’t quite prepared to put those feelings into words.

But I’m truly grateful for the moment and for the reflection it sparked in me. Sometimes we need to be asked a question that makes us stop, look at ourselves honestly, and realize that we want more for ourselves.

So, thank you. I really do mean that.

Sincerely,

Women in tan overalls

I've been trying to get hot water tank installed for a couple months now. Had Bill Lohsen Plumbing come out twice to my house to do the same estimate and they haven't gotten back to me either time after coming out. Which is kind of weird because they already took the time to see the job. So all I can think is the job isn't big enough to be worth their time?

So my question is this: what contractor in the area have you used in the past year, for roughly what kind of job and roughly how much did it cost? I don't need super specific numbers but I'm just trying to find out why I can't get a call back.

Just wondering... I used to do some dashing in the area. But does anyone actually do dashing this early? We'd start around 8 or so. But there's been times where I've definitely wanted to order something low-key early (like 5am) and I never did bc I didn't know if anyone was out! Haha 😅

Voting for Phil Scott and then expecting a different outcome

other than a complete decline in the quality of life of Vermonters

is almost the popular definition of insanity.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”

Moved here a few months ago and haven’t met anyone really so hoping to find people!
I’m a 25 year old guy, and I like to go driving around, game, watch shows/films, listen to music. Occasionally I’ll go to a bar. 4/20 friendly. HUGE nerd. I’ve visited the Vermont gaming academy before but haven’t gone to any events.

Really just looking for any advice on meeting people my own age here. The bars I’ve gone to usually have older people.

I just need to get outta the house yanno and meet some people with similar interests.

Join us at ReMake this month for some awesome events :)
