Maybe start looking for jobs for a chef some place in the NEK? It is significantly cheaper. It was the only place in Vermont we could reasonably afford.

I would love to. The question is whether or not there's anything out there for him to do work-wise.

Well, there are restaurants out here, so maybe ask around? I just heard yesterday on this subreddit that Dusit Thai is having a staff shortage. I checked their Facebook and they do talk about having a chef shortage.

Thanks, we will check around. I doubt anywhere will pay as good as he's getting paid in Middlebury but that's the sacrifice we'll have to make I suppose.

There are some pretty nice restaurants in the Newport area, it's a beautiful place and much more affordable than the Middlebury area you could probably find something decent up there to buy or rent. Stowe (for work) is an option Lamoille county might offer some better rental opportunities, they are building apartments in Morrisville.

Please don't give them ideas. The NEK is a hotbed of racism and bigotry certainly not a place to move to.

These kinds of assessments may have more meaning for me if I hadn’t moved here from Texas.

Total sarcasm there bud. The NEK gets stereotyped bad for that shit but really it's pretty quiet out here and most of the crazy shit goes on the northwest side. By far. But at the same time the rep can keep the population down which is kinda why I live here. Nice and quiet:)

Ha, sorry I missed that. I just hear it said so often in complete seriousness on this subreddit that it boggles my mind.

ETA: Lack of population is a huge draw for me too. I’m going to be pretty sore if we ever get to the point that the population is high enough that the ensuing light pollution blots out the Milky Way. Newport/Derby dims it enough already.

NP lol I am with ya on the light pollution we are pretty active stargazers watchers whatever you call it. Fairly decent Meade lx2000 does well out here in what I call the real NEK. We are on the CT River and the Milky Way is always visible. You can hear a mouse shit at 2am in the winter here it's really incredible. I grew up in mass sadly and I am so done with it all. Cheers!
