Woke Vermonters attempt to entice Canadians with a feeble overture meant to whitewash years of poor, Marxist management that increased crime and decreased economic vitality.
Honestly... I thought we'd seen the absolute climax of idiocy from Vermont legislators... but they continue to pull new rabbits out of... well, you decide from where they are pulling them. In 2019, I recall a beautiful early summer evening on a stroll with my husband down CHURCH street: we marveled at how Burlington was becoming something truly special, with a vital nightlife and eccentric cultural sophistication... A lovely and livable city with its own unique and authentic identity. Flash forward to the present day: We can only hang our heads in bewilderment, shame and deep regret at the hellish, open-air insane asylum our once lovely town has become... seemingly overnight. It is a gross waste of human potential, a crime and a civic tragedy. And what a laugh to think that anyone from Canada or elsewhere will come running to partake of the filth and madness just because some mental midgets have changed Church street's name.
These leaders in Burlington live in a special dream world. They have destroyed the City with their liberal policies. Now they think a street name change will solve their problems of a dying city. Did these wizards of smart consider the Canadian Looney (Dollar) is worth about 70% less than our dollar. Why would Canadians pay about a 30% premium to shop in a high crime, high drug use dirty city ?
Who would've thought electing liberals and tolerating civil unions could possibly lead to what's happened in VT in less than 25 years.....actually a lot of us did and even warned of it.
It's not just the shops closing, it's restaurants as well. Parking space availability in Burlington is miserable, if you can make your way past the reconstruction of Main Street. I think this self-destruction will continue for a while, as privately owned residential housing close to downtown is converted to student housing or Secton 8 housing. It's unclear if Burlington, as a sanctuary city, will be subject to a cut-off from Federal funds or swept by ICE Bernie Sanders' influence remains strong, though his glaring smack-down by Joe Rogan in an interview this week hopefully will be noticed by some. Meanwhile, idealistic Socialists will continue blaming anyone but themselves.
When I moved here 25 years ago, I thought Burlington was a very fun place to go... No tall buildings, great restaurants and just a great place to walk around.......Now you can come here and have a 'Weekend at Bernies!' Same scenario as the movie... a dead host, obnoxious people and a lifeless place! I'm glad I live in Vt. rurally....... this place is a disgrace and those that have run it into the ground are pointing their finger. The next time you point a finger just notice how many are pointed back at you! Respectable people will not come here anymore when they see what a hole this city has turned into!!! (Regardless of this stupid name change!!)
That was my first thought when I heard the name change. They are tearing down the cathedral, which was an eye-sore anyway. I hope the church at the top of the street isn't damaged somehow.
I wonder if all the people who voted these stupid people into office have any regrets or are they just so ignorant that they see what has happened to Burlington as a good thing! Sad to see so many people who have lost their capability of using common sense!

As a Canadian, it's the sanity of people like John Klar that would entice me and my family to beautiful Vermont
What's next president Xi street?
That is the silliest most expensive Cut off your own Nose I think I've ever heard of.
Ahh; you mean "anti-Church" snub?!
