She could easily find a job at C&S then. They are always looking for people like her.

We're only on here to gather information about states; possibly hear about cities or towns we've never heard of before.

I would need some GoPro footage to verify this

She's a warehouse and shipping specialist. She doesn't have a reddit account. We're fine with the info we know she's going to need a job before we move to wherever. I do have income on my end that's more than sufficient to live on for a few months if I were to just pack and move, if she couldn't find work immediately.

Trattoria Delia. Request the small table for 2 near the fireplace for date night. Or the semi-private room next to it for a group.

I'd say it's having you back up your point, but you already know the answer to the question because you can't find it. Is this the part where I add, you are wrong here?

No thanks, because I’m not obsessed with arguing. That would be you.

Big fan of misery loves company in Winooski. Loved getting the fried chicken for two and sitting at the counter where you could watch the chefs cooking, or sitting in one of the window alcoves. This place checked all the boxes for me. I think they are setup a little differently now after the pandemic, so will need to visit them again and check it out.

So squirrels are fairly common in Vermont. This is because the population of squirrels is so high. If you sit down and be quiet you can see a ton of them.
A moose on the other hand have a much much smaller population. So you could do the same activity, sitting in down in the woods and being quiet, and you probably won't see one. This is due to the smaller population.
In this cheesey grade school story, the squirrels are white people. The moose are PoC.
So when talk about population and probability, you're more likely (probable) to see something that there is more of (population).
Hope that helps.

Cafe Dim Sum downtown. And now with the hot pots it’s even more fun.

Not sure if you've considered Missouri, but recreational weed was voted in last year. It'd be a much more lateral move from Ohio, with less culture shock and probably lower expenses.

It's been a decade since I've been but I'll never forget. First time I went, I went with my then gf, now wife, and 3 buddies. The second time I went, I was with my now wife and 2 of the same buddies, it had been 6 months, but the hostess asked if our 5th friend was going to be joining us again. We couldnt believe they remembered us. The food was amazing, and the people working were great. Unfortunately curry doesn't agree with our stomachs or we would go back often.

Ok that's fine, but it doesn't really change anything. What skills is your wife bringing to the state? What does she do now? Is she ok with all the things I talked about above? Why isn't she the one asking these questions?

A lil abstract but I LOVE the food truck nights in down town over the summer. Got a variety of street food that's amazing. The Korean BBQ one 👌

The friendly toast because they have some awesome bteakfast food and a full bar in the mornings . I rarely drink but it’s a nice change when you work 3rd shift to have that available.

Does it have to be a regular sit-down restaurant? If not, my favorite food establishment is Mirabelle's. Consistently great pastries and desserts, some of them mind-blowingly delicious. I go every Saturday.

The Old Man in DC… The open-face sandwiches. Good beer. Jovial atmosphere and kitch. The playing cards on the ceiling. Theee levels of dining. Being on St. Paul Street… Blue Suade News. Nostalgia is a horrible drug.

Dude vermont is like 90% white people, people are getting pissed off because obviously statistically there would be more white people on trails in a state with mostly white people and it has nothing to do with black people not feeling like hiking, you know how me and my friends got into hiking? One friend would ask another to go hiking and that one would get into it and get his friends into it, if PoC want more hikers then they should do what everyone else does and try getting thir friends I to it and then their friends friends. Yes some people here are racist I think thats Tru for every state especially older generations but you can't let that stop you from doing what you like, while I've never felt racism I've been in countries that despise Americans and would swear at me when they heard me speaking English, do you think I let that affect my experience? Do you think I stayed inside and hid? No, I went out and had fun and ignored ignorant asshole people, as should everyone, regardless of color.

For context, I'm a physically disabled vet and a househusband. it's not about me getting fucked up I just want to be in a legal state where if my wife wants to smoke without being prosecuted for it she can.

Papa Franks. Although the atmosphere did change when the Mama died.
Still get a great dinner for the family for cheap.
