One Day in Burlington
I've wandered the U.S. in search of the ultimate small, progressive and outdoorsy place to live. After three years on the road, I can say with certainty that Burlington is one of my top 3 favorites. As a West Coast native, I've become accustomed to a quality of life that is lacking in much of this country: healthy living, recreation-based lifestyles and open-minded political leanings. Burlington has all of these qualities and more, but without any of the pretentiousness that ruins many West Coast cities. If you can spend more than a day getting to know this incredible place, do it. Bike around town, hang out at the Marketplace, check out the nightlife. It's a college town but the wide variety of ages and tastes gives it a more sophisticated touch than the average university-based city. You might just want to stay a while. more >
