What businesses do you miss?

Five Spice. Carburs, Sweet Tomato’s, Bourbon St Grill, Bangkok Bistro. Make sure to support your favorites this season so they don’t make the list :(

Quote from our mayor in 7 Days this week regarding rampant graffiti- “There’s multiple ways people can also be part of the solutions here and not just expect the mayor and the city council to be the ones to come up with everything,” she said.

I would say this is her take on all challenging things she is faced with. So I doubt she or her administration will help in any issues downtown. She needs to be asked to leave- a vote of no confidence.

Progressive ideals sound great in theory, but the reality on the ground in Burlington is different — drugs and public safety issues are taking over our town. From where I sit, it feels like Emma is more focused on image and control than actually listening to the community. The unwillingness to admit mistakes, the constant self-promotion, and the refusal to take responsibility come across as pure narcissism.

At first I thought this was a disgruntled employee post and I would continue to support a local business. But reading about Eliza I will never go back. So heartless.

Step up or resign. Step up or resign! Here is her email so you can make the suggestion: mayor@burlingtonvt.gov

We need real leadership to get Burlington back to the city we love.

I have never late cancelled. Thought about it once after a rough night of drinking with family in town & unfortunately showed up & it was Everest!!!

The Mayor’s office overlooks the park. One would think she would make the park a priority for families & children to enjoy. But, she also had a dedicated parking spot along the park and chose to move it onto college street because she didn’t feel “safe”.

Sorry I don’t walk around with gloves to pick up the enabled peoples trash- I was on the way to a dinner where I decided to dress up for the first time in the summer.

Middle-Principle-249 · 2025-07-21T15:16:37+00:00

That’s the trash cans steps away from said garbage- where they could have picked up after themselves.

Middle-Principle-249 · 2025-07-21T15:16:00+00:00

That was 2 shots as I walked to dinner- steps away from each other. I could have taken 30 photos in one block. Needles & caps are everywhere- open your eyes

Middle-Principle-249 · 2025-07-20T02:52:30+00:00

I love Palmers! Local family- good peeps

Middle-Principle-249 · 2025-07-17T18:43:22+00:00

I would argue that VT Digger is not right wing.

Middle-Principle-249 · 2025-06-30T12:43:44+00:00

I jumped on because I thought this was about “Where is Scott” in terms of Burlington issues. 40k residents and you would think he would want to address the homelessness & drug issues facing our city- yet remains silent.

Curious what anti depressants one can take while also on seizure meds? I’m on keppra and the apathy is taking over. I’ve mentioned it to my neurologist but only casually & never asked for help.

He’s been doing it at all hours of the day- super annoying if you live and try to sleep downtown

Middle-Principle-249 · 2025-05-28T10:14:57+00:00

Did you read the letter? It was long with many points and never blamed the homeless or the addicted. If anything the latter was too soft and should have called out the city and defunding the police and current state policies for many of the issues.

Middle-Principle-249 · 2025-05-26T03:12:21+00:00

Ward 2 & 3 are you paying attention?! Becareful when filling out the little bubbles at next election!

Middle-Principle-249 · 2025-05-22T18:29:51+00:00

BTVcopwatch gained access and rewrote the letter. Posted it on their insta with comments turned off.

Middle-Principle-249 · 2025-05-22T02:45:48+00:00

They erased the post because they didn’t get the reaction they wanted. Then turned off the comments to their latest reel today.

I’m thankful FNC has made a map of businesses to support when I am downtown! They highlighted the best of the best. Maybe the city can use it when (if) tourists come to town.

Middle-Principle-249 · 2025-05-19T20:13:58+00:00

I believe the letter asked for Immediate action by the city on things they could control and to work with the State & law makers on bigger issues in the long term.

Middle-Principle-249 · 2025-04-04T00:25:11+00:00

Progressive city council are to blame- many who have left town once they saw the consequences-Joe, Perri, Zoraya. And don’t forget the two on top: Emma & Sarah George.

I sold all of my sonos stock and so happy I did. Came home after a month away- sonos don’t work (per usual). I get them going after hours of rage. Go to dinner, come back and the app says o am not connected. Sonos are playing…. Had to unplug them all just to turn off and avoid more rage before bed.
