I sure did!!! I know Burl real well even before I went to college and met Jimmy and the boys. My dad worked for IBM and was always going to Burlington on business. We used to all go in the summertime with him and go to Lake Champlain, etc. I remember going to Ben and Jerry's before anyone knew what it was.

the town is nowhere near as fun as it used to be--all the local guy's that gave it flavor have gone corporate (B&J) or retired (Nectar) and the new Pres. of the university has done away with the party atmosphere cause he wants the thing to be a public Ivy League--But the people are still cool, and summer on the lake can't be beat. Small world again, My Dad used to work for IBM (as do most of the poeple around here.)

Burlington VT is very nice in the summer. But I cant stand all the liberals kids there. Drives me freaking crazy. A bunch of rich hippie wanna-be's. I used to go to Burlington all the time. Either to fish on the lake, or catch a minor league game. Prob one of the prettiest small cities in America.

sorry I grew up here, liberal is pretty much written on my birth cert., much to the dismay of my mid-western father. BUT I am not wealthy, I am NOT a hippie, although I usually smell like a horse barn. Those neo hippies are usually phish heads from Mass. or CT or NJ who flock here to visit the phish mecca that is Burlington--and go to UVM. Please don't mistake them for Locals...
