Moving to Vermont

Submitted by roborob11 t3_1072uic in vermont

Hi, I considering moving to Vermont and am wondering about what I need to do to find a place. Currently I live in the south in a town called Bennington but really want to live in Vermont. I drive an old corvette and have three dogs, Rottweiler/pit bull mix and work from home for a land development company. My dogs are great! They spend all their time practically outside. Sometimes they bark and once my (a-hole) neighbor complained. I tried to tell him that it’s really hard for me to spend anytime with them because of my job keeping me away. But anyway, I’m wondering if you can give me advice about where I should look for a house. I like the night life and restaurants, especially Mexican/Asian fusion. I’d like some land and isolation. Will I need snow tires or will chains be enough? There’s so much to think about my head is spinning. I heard that Vermont will give me money to move there and stay home. Wow, liberals! Oh, and I’m allergic to maple syrup, is it true that you guys put it on everything? Thanks

Be sure to let your dogs free range around the area.

I have knitted sweaters for them because they’re very short hair dogs!

Vett with drag slicks is the optimal winter car.

Make sure to buy up abot 2000 acres of forest land. Clear cut it and build 2 million dollar mansions on 7 acre lots. Vermonters will love that

Chains on your corvette will be enough. After you put them on your corvette you will definitely say: “This is more than enough!” In rural areas, your loose dogs will be taken care of by the neighbors so well it will be like they’re not even there anymore. Good luck in your search for that isolated acreage next to the night life and Mexican/Asian fusion restraints! That should narrow your search area down quit a bit.

These parodies are worse than the real things.

You can live in my quinoa commune until you get your Birkenstocks on, literally and figuratively.

Ludlow, Killington or Stowe... visit during the winter, demand that you and your party of eight get seated right away at a breakfast restaurant, and demand fake maple syrup for your pancakes because you hate the real stuff. Then don't leave a tip, our folks get paid so well, and they just love people like you!

I have a habit of honking my horn if people don’t notice the light turned green, but hey, I’m just letting them know.

Bennington has a Taco Bell/KFC that shares the same building. I think that's Mexican/Southern? Almost Mexican/Asian fusion?

Yeah, but I want to live in Vermont.

It might not be meant to be, however. Maybe over in New York? It seems like a better match.

Might I suggest the Woodstock area? Low traffic town, no leash laws for dogs, so much money to stay home. Stowe is very similar. Recommend heavy chains for the car, really only need them on the rear wheels.

Muslin the fabric? What could they have against fabric in Roxbury?

Yeah, I know. I saw this post earlier. But you said "Muslin" in your comment, and I was fucking around and poking fun at your type-o.

You'd think racist assholes would at least know how to correctly spell the name of the group they intend to discriminate against. Or maybe they just don't like Muslin fabric AND they're dumbasses who can't spell.

You forgot “I Promise to buy a leash at some point but there will be some other priorities.”

My dogs are free range.

Are they good spellers? Sometimes dogs misread “free range” and “firing range” and end up in the wrong one.

There is NO good Mexican food. And IMO not many good food options in general anywhere for prepared food. Especially not anywhere with land and isolation. Great farms offer the freshest food to make meals at home though. Also you need money. Money is what you need to find a place to live because the markets are rough wether renting or buying.
