It’s wonderful to sink into an awesome, laid back life here in the 802, but we all need a vacation sometimes. And BOOM, when we cross state lines we’re reminded that we aren’t in Vermont anymore! Here are a few things that scream that we’re not in VT that we may take for granted…
- Crowds
Flickr/Amy West Even in peak foliage in the biggest tourist towns, there’s still room to move.
- Cities
Flickr/Caribb Boston, Montreal and NYC are just a stones throw from various points in VT, but you’ll never see that congestion here. Thankfully!
- Stop Lights
Flickr/Michael Patrick Sure we may see a stop light or two in Vermont, but they usually don’t take several turns to let us through.
- Places close after 10:00 P.M.
Flickr/nchenga nchenga Places close pretty early in Vermont. It gives us a great night sleep to seize the next day though!
- Major league sports
Flickr/Jack Heddon It’s no Fenway Park, but we’ll always love the Lake Monsters!
- Taxi!
Flickr/Rob Nguyen If you hit the city, you’ll probably be able to get a ride by hailing a cab. Not so much in rural Vermont.
- The ocean
Flickr/Erin Vermont is a landlocked state so there is no ocean beaches… But when you’re at a lake surrounded by mountains, it’s pretty darn awesome.
- Target
Flickr/Mike Mozart While we love our general stores, if you’re a fan of Target, you’ll know you have to travel out of state to get to one.
- Strangers puzzled if you speak to them
Flickr/bark I’m not saying people are unfriendly… but they sure seem confused if you strike up a conversation.
- Trafic
Flickr/Shiyang Huang Just….. AAHHHHHHHH!!!!!
- Thank you waves
Flickrr/John McCullough You might have to cut someone off, but thank you waves are rare among white platers.
- Disappointing beer
Flickr/Michael Dorausch When you come from the best beer state in the nation, it’s hard to get excited for what they have to offer.
- Billboards
Flickr/Dennis Jarvis You aren’t assaulted by signs on the highway in Vermont. It’s illegal… thankfully!
- Bike paths
Flickr/WABA Or lack there of….
- Litter
Flickr/Peter Oh, you scoundrels. Why? Just, why?
There are a few things you’ll see when you’re not in VT, but here are 14 reasons why everyone should marry a Vermonter. Hey, if you’re not born here, this is the next best thing.
