Good choice. But it’s a lot of what people do in St J. We lived there for 5 years, not much going on, but a lot of drug use.

Same as Rutland, same as Barre, etc. Know why? Because the County Courthouse is smack downtown. What does that mean? That's where the criminals live because their license is taken away. The legal infrastructure grows downtown and local landlords resist investing in their properties - residential and commercial - because criminals trash them. It's a losing system.
