Burlington, Vermont - A Gorgeous Small Town in the Shadow of the Mountains - Things to Do and See

[@m.cantizzo3157]

That's the Bennington Monument at the beginning. Not in Burlington.

God bless Vermont and may we never forget the Green Mountain Boys.

Moved to Burlington twice..from Phoenix, AZ. Would have never left B-town but when family needs you, you hightail your way back home. Miss VT daily. Looking forward to making VT my home again in the near future. XO

[@jonathanp1884]

@@jennifertracykessler2474 Great, looking for solutions. Vermont offers shelters more than other states [not surprised] so homeless tend to go where resources are more available.

[@Metalmirq]

I guarantee there’s more homeless people within two blocks of my apartment in Austin than the entire city of Burlington

Looks like a great vacation destination! Nature, culture, and shopping! ❤

I’m visiting from the west coast and yesterday spent the evening at Oakledge Park. There were some amazing water views, and such a gorgeous sunset! Great place for water activities as well.

[@roberthance2412]

haha you must be brave or lucky to many sewage spills these days and beaches closed many times a summer .

Burlington is a great city, but that first shot of the monument is from Bennington at the other end of the state.

nice so quiet place to live and gorgeous color leaves 🍂 🍃 🍁fall

[@Island_Line_Rail_Productions]

2:06 Correction. The Island Line trail was NOT part of the Central Vermont at all. The Island Line was Rutland Railroad trackage that Ran from Burlington to Alburgh then over to Rouses Point NY to connect with the line to Ogdensburg NY. The line was in operation from the late 1800s to 1961 and a final equipment move in 1964 with the newly formed Vermont Railway. The only part of the Island line that was duel CV-RUT operations was the Rouses Point crossing where a gauntlet track was in place over the trestle.

[@JonBrooks105]

Burlington doesn't have an Eastern shore. It faces West. The Bike path was The Rutland Railroad... not the Central Vermont.

[@surbon514]

The first scene was actually the Bennington Monument. 3 hours from Burlington.

All the people who live in Burlington are rich. No kidding it's a great place to live.

Burlington is a very expensive place to live, very high taxes.

[@jlamarche1088]

@@marwar819 They're not rich. it just costs a lot to live there. Burlington is a dump now.

[@lonnieking8464]

@@marwar819 what I mean, is that many of the people in the Burlington aren’t rich. Sure lots of offices downtown and the big houses around the multitude of college campuses. But just north of the downtown is the rougher part of town. The old North end. Especially around North st. Not too mention all of the homeless people because it is true that the greater Burlington area is an expensive place to live. Get outside of Chittenden county and things start to change.

[@dannyepstein599]

Back in the Bernie Sanders days the small city was in the top best in the nation, statically. Vermont state still is often in the top 10 [top 5] with analysis that includes sever parameters. NH, Maine, Mass., Colorado, Virginia and Minnesota are top contenders as well.
