[Esel Mann]

One of my favorite slogans is "Welcome to Vermont, now go home!".

Vermont's a great place. Burlington is nice. Very nice in fact. Schools are very good too. However Chittenden county is by no means representative of the rest of the state. In fact it can be an entirely different experience outside Chittenden county.

It can be very difficult to do business in the state. By business I don't mean B&B's or trinket shops. I'm talking good paying jobs in manufacturing or design, etc. Yes such exists but it's more of an exception rather than a rule.

I'd move back in a second, if it weren't for the fact that relocating my business there would result in me being bent over a saw horse and used like the village bicycle until everyone's had a ride at my expense.
