I loved going to town meeting growing up in MA! I noticed that people in VT look out for each other. When we were visiting a couple of years ago my partner got hit by a car that ran a red light as we were in a crosswalk, we ended up having to spend over a week in the hospital and the nice local folks offered me a bed and food and all that. My partner and I are a lot more "laid back" and it really struck a nice chord with us that people offered us help like that. Looking forward to the community feel.

My dad just got in a bad accident and had to be flown in to Mass General, as a Vermonter we were so scared everyone was going to be rude to us but I have to say everyone we have met in Boston has gone above and beyond with kindness. So I guess it goes full circle! I'm glad we are all able to have humanity and take care of each other when it's most needed! :)
