Never heard it called the greenway, but the bike path is snow free from oakledge to colchester. Not sure about the causeway, but assume it's clear as well since there's less shade out there

Bike path, to be honest I'm not sure if the whole thing is the island line trail and part of it is the Greenway or if all of it is considered the Greenway as well. I usually bike from oakledge park out onto the causeway when the weather is nice. Really beautiful bike ride!

Oh, I know it happens far more than people want to admit. What's wild here is it happened at a gun shop, not someone's unattended gun cabinet. Talk about poor business practices if someone can just make off with guns from your store while it's open. But I'm sure much of the ire will be directed at the addicts, far easier to swallow that way.

I don't know who told you that, but I would bet that nobody's even scratched the surface of how often this does in fact happen. A good friend's brother is a cop in CT (about an hour outside NYC), and he says it's pretty widely understood among law enforcement down there the degree to which VT is effectively supplying the guns used in drug and gang wars in NY/NJ/CT. Woodchucks act like it's all one-way traffic of drugs coming here, when lol nah -- it's absolutely a two-way situation.

Not only that, but two people were just busted for making off with two handguns from Parro's in Waterbury. Just showed up, took the guns and left. They were trading guns for drugs, which I'm told hardly ever happens here. But as you said, can't take two steps into a dispensary without someone stopping you.

I brought the correct paperwork to them and they were not knowledgeable nor did they care to look it up or call the dmv. So yes I am surprised they did not accept it, considering it is literally what they need from the state I moved from. SC passed a bill in July of 2017 stating IMF is equal and replaces sales tax. Sad. Truly.

Lol…. It isn’t just “the internet said something” is it what the SC DMV told me and confirmed AND it’s an easy google search. So actually, they do need to accept it, and they can do their job by knowing what documents are equal to sales tax in other states.

Fake outrage? Pfft. I grew up in the South Bronx where we survived the cops more than we did the streets. My eyes were forced open literally at gunpoint on playgrounds as a kid.

You may be black, but you're also a fucking moron if you don't see the problem with police unions. Take that shit to St. Elsewhere.
