Good luck; those are probably the most tourist-friendly organizations in Vermont.

Maybe have them let people know there are other exits?

This thread should be pinned at the top of the r/ movingtovermont forum. Perfect example of the real Vermont. The only other areas that require a purity test to enter are Johnson City TN or those other few areas where they film Deliverance and Wrong Turn type movies. Because once you get there, pay taxes, support the local economy, this friendliness never goes away. You will hear "flatlander" regularly and have local people ignore you at community events. I still love Vermont, but there is enough gatekeeper presence to make that hard to do sometimes.

Vermonters hate anything not from Vermont. This is why they have a limited taxable base, have little new housing and very limited potential for individual financial success. But fuck the leaf peepers and flatlanders, amirite?

I am pretty sure this was because of a massive car accident that caused the closure of two interstate exits.

The truth hurts sometimes. Vermont is a beautiful state with potential for successful and calculated progress, it's the collective mindset of it's residents that's holding it back. Until then, enjoy 1880s homes with drafty windows and the potential for a chimney fire every winter while bitching about "flatlanders" that infuse money into your seasonal economy.

Exactly. Your mouth should be pretty damn full right now, thanks to those leaf peepers and the $625 million they spend in Vermont every fall.

I think we should contact our local chambers of commerce. They need to do more to prevent these people coming in from out of state
