Recently, there was a great article in the New York Times about outstanding places to visit and Burlington was the featured place and destination. It was fun to see them highlight a number of venues that I have talked about in the past, and the ambiance of the Church Street Market place. It really is such a quaint and diversified setting, whether you want a feel of Paris at Leunigs Restaurant, to the casual dining experience of locally grown vegetables on your pizza at Flatbread Pizza on St. Paul street. On Saturdays  and Sundays in the summer, the local farmer’s market on the lawn of City Hall makes for a wonderful experience. Walk a bit further West and you are the waterfront where you can rent a bike, stroll the path along the lake or visit the Echo Center and all it has to offer in Lake History and more. If you have never been here, you are really missing out on one of the best places to not only visit, but to absolutely reside as well.

We had our first light snow here the other day, just in time for Halloween. Ok, that’s not funny, but we did. It was odd to see the white blanket of cold as I headed East towards Williston.  Burlington did not get any to cover the ground, but we got to see snow flakes. When I was driving downtown in the early morning, I saw what looked to be a college student with his ski boots slung over his shoulder heading to his car. I thought at the time, oh to be young again. The first snow is always exciting to the young, and not so much to  me.There will be plenty of time to shovel. Don’t get me wrong, I really do enjoy skiing, I just prefer to do it in December and beyond rather than starting in October.
