Kinda. Three apts but only one is on the ground floor from the front. Apt A us ground floor, Apt B is above A, and C is above the garage with the entrance out back. Right in spear street, owned by one of the biggest property owners in Charlotte. Local towny mower the lawn but never knew his name.

Can you elaborate at all? Im intrigued by folks in modern society who still live on the fringes like this.

Can't wait for the spring so that I can drive there in 20mins rather than an hour to try it out lol.
Is there some sort of actual significance to the name Aladdin? Or are they just capitalizing off of Disney?

Yup. I live on the Jeff side and my Stowe days are done for the year lol.
A few Octobers ago we got married at Boyden in Cambridge and most of the out of town folks stayed at Smuggs. A few disregarded our advice and opted for the swankier ameneties of Stowe since "it's so close!"
Well imagine their surprise when they wake up and realize the road they took last night is now closed and their 20 minute scenic drive to the venue is now close to an hour through VT roads that they aren't used to.

I did piss there quite often, and once caught the neighbor's daughter having relations with her boyfriend back there. That was wicked awkward.
On one fateful night I left my night shift job early due to stomach issues. Had to walk my dog when I got home and i was hit with an un-ignorable urge halfway through his walk and knew I wouldn't make it back to the house. I did use the spruce tree facilities that evening.

Were you the ones that made the half pipe in the garage? Or did you shoot down the downstairs neighbors door?? 😆 or maybe you were the ones who got busted growing weed out back? Dismantled the car in the garage and left it there? Had a massive bonfire that you can still see the remnants of today???
How did you like Victor??
Your old bathroom ended up destroying mine, and then the septic tank destroyed itself making the whole apartment almost unlivable. Add on the rats and mice and the land was the only thing keeping us there. Clark was happy to let me hunt out back which was cool and the land was perfect t for our crazy dog.

Did you live there at one point? I was in the first floor apt (apt A) and as far as I know the same folks are still in the other units. I hear the folks before me were wild. We went through a number of neighbors the first year we lived there and then the last 5 it was steady.

Lol. Apartment out in Charlotte on a big piece of farmland (anyone familiar with charlotte can probably guess who owned it). Maintenance guy was really nice but really rough around the edges - a real salt of the earth vermonter. The only type of person who could actually say they are a "real vermonter" and not have it be eye-roll worthy. You know the accent I'm talking about.
Anyway - he would only fix issues in the apartment, didn't really do any upkeep/non essential maintenance but he was very often on the property doing other work for the landlord (brush hogging, working on the sugarhouse, etc). Apparently he didn't feel comfortable asking to use our bathroom (which is fair since he wasn't really doing work for us) and so he would go just past the edge of the "proper" yard to the other side of a row of spruce trees and take a big nasty shit under the trees before getting back to work.
I would notice because I would walk my dog in the field behind this row of trees, and without fail my dog would sniff out his shit every single time (although sometimes it was very obvious since there was TP blowing across the field).
Same apartment eventually had a catastrophic septic tank failure on thanksgiving. It was a couple weeks before they could get an excavator out so the maintenance guy's solution was to give me a sump pump and a long ass hose and have me go and pump the septic tank myself out onto the lawn each night. But it was very important that I don't damage his hose that i was pumping shit water through because it was his best hose. We moved a few months later after successfully avoiding a fine from the EPA lol

I would tend to agree as a GSD mix owner. His shits are huge and humanlike. That being said, the maintenance guy at my old apartment used to shit in the yard (long story) and it was very obvious what was human and what was my dogs. Also my dog would try to eat it and roll in it.

Reply to Federally Funded Study Shows Marijuana Legalization Is Not Associated With Increased Teen Use by TheKnightwing3
How would it even? Anytime I’ve been to a dispensary they’ve checked my ID at least twice. Highly doubt many teens are getting fakes to buy weed considering every teen I ever knew who wanted to smoke weed had no problem finding it.

MA has also been doing it for a few years now. Once Vt gets a few more places open (aka straighten out the licensing BS) it should improve

Reply to Best heating oil company to use? We need kerosene but can't afford $7/ gallon at the company we called. New to this type of heating and kinda struggling to figure this out. Company says minimum of 100 gallon order. Our tank is 275g . 275x7= omg in gonna freeze to death. by [deleted]
Unfortunately you will find that the prices are pretty much the same across the board, and you have only a few options specific to your area. Kerosene is also less popular these days so that adds another level of complexity.
I would figure out who delivers to your area then call and ask about pricing, price lock, and budget programs. It will likely come down to whoever has the best budget/price lock program.
Another consideration is who owns your tank. We have propane and Corse fuels owns the tanks, so switching to another provider wouldn’t be as easy likely.

Fair point. But with a rural city like Montpelier I don’t expect the large changes that many other large cities would see. Even a lot of old northeast cities like Boston and Montreal have sections that are largely unchanged minus what’s been added around it.
Montpelier is also a city that is very much built around its natural landmarks. So things tend to stay where they are because there’s no better place for them.
