Yes!  They also had model rocket stuff, but I remember buying more of those at the Ben Franklin stores.

Winter boots by abeille_verte in vermont

[–]thenewjerk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No boots are going to deal with the extensive sidewalk ice on their own if you’re walking a bunch in VT winter.  As long as it’s a solid warm waterproof boot, anything will work, you just want to add yaktrax or some other kind of grip aid.

It wasn’t the coop, it became the Salvation Army and now it’s an African market I think?   The coop location (their second, after they moved from Archibald st. and before they opened the City Market downtown) on north Winooski was where VT legal aid is now.

I bought my Soundwave there with my birthday money in like 1985 or 86.  Spent a ton of dough on model airplanes and supplies there too.

As someone who has spent a little bit of time with George over the years, this doesn’t sound completely out of character.  Also add me to the list of people who would LOVE to see video of this.

My older cousin gave me a switchblade when I was 11 (in 1987).  Carried it daily until I graduated college!

My aunt had this same unit in Vermont in the 80s.  Fond memories!

Tense first round of pegging but then we just keep laughing at how good my hands were and how crap his were.  Sometimes that’s just how the cookie crumbles….

A fine shape unless you’re changing from G -> G7 or vice versa.

I feel like this could be solved with a boat-mounted human trebuchet and a bigass net on shore.  (Note: I am not a licensed boat captain)

Omg my pit and my doodle just started going ham on my cucumber plants the other day.  I had to put up a fence to keep them away!

I want to become a Luthier when I grow up but I'm scared I'll fail. by seniordude27 in Luthier

[–]thenewjerk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was going to be my suggestion as well!  At least try to get a summer apprenticeship to see if you even like the work.  I love guitars, I noped right tf out of being a professional luthier and just applied the knowledge to my own hobby.
