WIKE is AM radio, lol, used to be up Farrant street. We listened for school closures and away football games, otherwise it was generally old country music.

True story - must've been winter of 86 into 87 - we had a storm so bad that the kids from IP didn't get to NC until NOON. that was so far back in the day, when you had to listen to WIKE (MOO didn't exist) to hear school closings... good times.

> One root of the problem in Vermont is that so many people have so very little interaction with BIPOC
YES, this is REAL!
So decades old story - I went to camp with POCs, bussed in from NJ . They did their best to put an even ## of POCs with us white kids. Now, this story occurs just before 4th grade - two girls in my cabin and I had just finished swimming - they were talking about wondering if they had gotten a tan. I'm like, "y'all get tans?" - SERIOUSLY had no clue! I'm much better now, really!

If you want to drive all the way up to Newport, there's Shattuck's Hill, faces Lake Memphremagog, there's a place to park and everything.

ALB generally doesn't provide much to assist here, though. ALB is my local airport and last year I drove to JFK to fly to Europe (was going to fly out of YUL, but...covid), and this next yr, will do it out of YUL (saving $400+ r/t to go out of YUL v JFK).
BDL used to be a decent option but Aer Lingus canx its flights out of there to Europe (resume March 23 per BDL's website), so until that resumes, it's no different than ALB.

i presume you have a passport or EDL?
i am doing this next yr, but flying in the afternoon, no need for a hotel; i see no downside (UNLESS there's another covid outbreak and the borders close but this seems highly unlikely now)
