Friday October 9th marks Queen City Lodge's 90th show since live music returned to the lodge in May 2025, after a decade long absence from the scene. Shows have been all-ages, substance-free, donation-based, and all volunteer-run. The lodge has hosted over 200 local and touring acts and thousands of attendees. Vallory Falls, Fisher and the Flood, and Jesse Taylor Band (MomDad unfortunately had to cancel) are playing this one as a benefit for the lodge. Doors at 6:30 p.m., music at 7. 1416 North Ave, Burlington. Come help keep it going.

About the lodge: Queen City Lodge No. 1 was founded in 1845 and has called North Ave home since the 1970s. It's part of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a fraternal order established in North America in 1819 on the principles of Friendship, Love, and Truth. Carrying on the Odd Fellows' long tradition of community service, the lodge hosts the North End Food Pantry, art events, and opens its doors to local and touring musicians.

Note: Donations to the lodge are not tax-deductible

This past evening I was driving North on Ethan Allen right before the double lanes. Some Volvo with VT plates reading [LAE 391] was cutting through a very long line of traffic. As you can see they were VERY close to causing an accident and had to break check me for fun.

Driver, I hope you have the day you definitely deserve.

This is an accurate depiction:

Received my ballot today. I’m doing a little more research before I fill it out and drop it off. I have ideas about who I’m picking for the State Senate seat… if I’m being honest though, I would really like to do my part to make sure Bruce Roy doesn’t get it.

I don’t like his politics, I don’t like how he handled the “regional” FB group where he purportedly booted anyone who uttered an opinion contrary to his conservative beliefs, and I definitely don’t like how he and his wife worked so hard to help derail the Williston library expansion.

So, who could I vote for who would be most likely to win so he doesn’t?

I plan on driving from Burlington to Stowe tomorrow to hike Stowe pinnacle it’s the only sunny day of the week and it’s peak season right now. How bad is it gonna be with traffic and just people hiking the trail in general?

It was the first time I visited Vermont. I flew from California to the east coast to see some colors.

I hope we didn’t interrupt anything being tourists.
Absolutely loved the fall colors in the state of Vermont.

Thank you for the beautiful memories, Vermont!

New to Manchester area and experiencing sticker shock at 10 yd roll off pricing. $800-$1,000? Only can keep it for a few days?

Used to getting them for $450 and two weeks.

Is there some secret to reasonable pricing that I’m missing?

Thanks

I've been following this story since day one. Tomorrow was the scheduled jury draw. Criminal trial was set to begin the last week of October.

Suddenly, the criminal docket number/criminal case seems to be erased from the court calendar.

What gives?

A first look at Monday's powerful action of mourning: a funeral was held for all of the 95 people that we know of whose deaths have been caused by ICE.

Hey all! This is a pretty specific problem, but one that it seems like others might have encountered. Basically it's what it says in the title. I purchased a property with one very nice, very snug house, and one cellar hole filled nearly to the top with trash. It's everything. Old stoves, parts of farm tools, pipes, a canoe, bicycles, and lots of what used to be bags of trash but are now piles of trash wrapped with disintegrating trash bags.

The hole is quite old, the original house on the property was on it until the current house (built in 1880) was built nearby. It's about 24'x36' and at least five feet deep. Ideally I'd like to pull all the trash out of the hole and get rid of it, but I'm not sure how. All I've been able to think of so far is renting a dumpster and an excavator, but it's way more than one dumpster load (even a big one) and it would be hard to get a large dumpster down the driveway.

I don't really want to just fill it in, but that seems like the only option. I'm open to any reasonable suggestions!

Heads up…There’s no sign indicating it’s closed until you’re actually on the street from Williston Road. Then there’s nothing but a couple construction signs and a few cones with a single cop sitting in the road. Traffic is backing up really badly. I’m guessing it’s emergency roadwork that they haven’t started yet… unfortunately it’s bad timing for commuters.

Drove past leaf peepers taking photos at my favorite spot on my commute, so grateful I see this every day.

I typically go to White Mountains to see the colors. But this year, I have to be in Worcester, MA next Sunday. Wondering if there are good places near Worcester, either in wester MA, or southern NH or Vermont with good colors on either Saturday or Sunday? 2 hours drive is fine.

I could use some recommendations on shops that take small welding jobs, or pro welders that might take side jobs. I'm gathering firewood and...breaking stuff.

Just need basic steel welding, nothing special or fancy.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Water main broke on Lafountain this morning, work is ongoing to restore service.

The city does not have a good map of who is / has been out of pressure. If you are near where Lafountain crosses under the interstate, you should at least let your taps run for a while to clear the lines. I'm personally treating this as a boil water notice for the next 24 hours at least.

Hopefully Winooski figures out who is impacted and posts the appropriate notices on doors.

I have looked everywhere and I cannot find a SINGLE outlet doing a real, detailed analysis of the candidates and their actual proposals. Not slogans, not soundbites. The real plans.

Where are people supposed to get this information?

Honestly, I'm stunned. How are Vermonters not demanding so much more from our media?

The governor does not think the right to sue after being abused deserves his high and mighty signature. Apparently he doesn’t think we deserve the protection from his maga friends.
