Hey does anyone have a car that they're desperately trying to get rid of? I'm currently out of a car and I don't have credit to get a loan and I'm living practically pay check to pay check. I'll take any old shitter as long as it can drive me to work and back.

I’m thinking of moving there with my two kids

I'm looking for recommendations for moving service that can help load up a truck. I've had bad experience in my last move so curious what companies folks had a good experience with?

I have T-mobile and it's truly awful. I rarely get service outside of downtown. I work near Jamaica and it would be nice to have even a little service on Rt 30 (though I may be asking too much there). I'm moving to West Bratt and its a complete dead zone for me. Any recommendations are super appreciated!

I'm living in Europe at the moment and I miss home. I started reading the Joe Gunther novels a while back, and decided to pick them up again. Its a detective series (I think about 30 installments!) by Archer Mayor. The main character Joe is a detective situated in Brattleboro, but also sometimes travels across the state. I'm starting book 3 now.

They are not masterpieces, but I think they're really good so far, for what they are. I really like hearing the names of the streets I know and getting the feeling of the town/state through a work of fiction.

Anyone else a fan? Anyone read the whole series? Thoughts?

I’m turning 26 and I currently live in the capital region in upstate NY and I’m thinking about taking a leap and moving to Brattleboro VT in the spring. Is it a place where someone in their twenties could make friends easily?

Preferably someone who isn't nearing retirement (i.e. need a longer term source). Needs to be able to handle 2-person jobs (no soloists). Current work involves new radiators & reworking existing heating zone. Thanks!

Hello I am desperately seeking a 3+ bedroom in or near brattleboro. Anyone know of anything available? Need to find something before October 1st. Thanks!

I see that Whetstone Station has gone from "temporarily closed" to having actual hours on google. Does anyone know if they are actually open? Coming to town this weekend and have always loved that place. Was bummed to hear it closed but hopefully it's reopening?

I'm traveling via the Vermonter in September but need to park a truck overnight. Is the transit center parking lot really as sketchy as the Google reviews indicate? 4 days, 3 nights to leave a vehicle. I know parking overnight not to leave valuables and leave it locked, etc. I could get the Moover from the Park and Ride but there's no return transit to get me back on a Saturday after 5:00pm. What is my best course of action?

Does the exit of the brattleboro coop into the Malfunction Junction have its own traffic light phase? Or is that shared with something else allowed to move at the same time?

Pulled out 3rd in line with the green in the left lane of the exit intending to to head south on 142, but immediately had car going the opposite direction appear out of nowhere in the way.

It worked out but trying to better understand the intersection before next time

Hello neighbors, I'll be down in your city tomorrow from Windsor County and am wondering what good place(s) are to sit and work on my laptop. I'd take meetings from my car, unless there's some drop in shared office space I could rent for the day. Hours would be approx 9-2ish. Thanks in advance!

Anyone able to recommend comfortable B and B type places or inns in Brattleboro for when you have out of town guests and not enough room to host them? Thank you!

I have two young (not yet school age) kids and am considering Brattleboro as a location for our next move. I have not been able to connect with many families about the school system and wanted to try my luck here. Any thoughts or anecdotes you can share are much appreciated!

Having a party early November and looking to hire a local bartender. Is that a thing? Thank you!

Why is it only at the Brattleboro Hannaford where you have to wait for people to check out the 150 items they put in their cart in the self check express lane. Every other Hannaford in every other state I’ve ever been, people go through self checkout when they’ve got 12 or a reasonable amount of groceries. But here on Putney Road you can bring 400 things and just check them out at your leisure one swipe at a time. I don’t understand.

Hi all! I’ll be coming up to the area for the first week of October. I’m visiting a friend a few towns over. I am a trans man~non-binary transmasc person and longtime vegan. Any recommendations for LGBTQ+ stuff, vegan food, DIY music, oddities, indie bookstores, and nature are highly appreciated. What would you say are “must do/see/eat” activities?

It’ll be my first time in Vermont and I’m really looking forward to it. :)

I’m part of a University of Cambridge research project, and we’re studying how the internet is regulated—who decides what you see online and how much control you should have. Right now, we dont have any participants from Vermont. We really want to hear from all of the States. It’s really important to get some local voices included in this global study!

We just need 6 minutes of your time, and its completely anonymous. Your input could help shape future internet policies that impact us all.

Thanks so much for considering this and helping to make sure Vermont is represented!

Just seems like cars are always being broken into by addicts in town, houses burglarized etc way more than in the past. For fucks sake they are even breaking into cars at the fire stations now. I’m looking for something more than “acab” or “BPD sucks”. I feel its something a little more systemic than that but I haven’t lived in bratt for about 2-3 years now and just want a bit of context to whats happening to the town i once loved.

i do visit, just dont live there anymore

Hello, Im a lesbian moving from northern Vermont to here in Brattleboro. I'm curious if there are any local community groups for queer folks. I've heard about the gay bar, but am a bit apprehensive if it's a space a lesbian would really find a good friend in, though i've never really been one for bars anyways. I'm willing to give it a chance if others can confirm its a space thats also welcoming to queer women.

Im also interested in theater, art, and crafting. Any leads are welcome as Its been difficult to get out there and make friends after such a big move

Is anyone aware of a shared office space available in town, or a workshare site that offers flexible office space for rent?

I'll be visiting your area for the first time next month, flying into Hartford, and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for ground transportation to Brattleboro. I won't need transportation while I'm there, I just need to get there from the airport (and back). Any suggestions welcome, from car services to public transport; I just would prefer not to rent a car if I can help it. Thanks!

Is there a good place to rent a car to return out of state in the Brattleboro area. We have spent a lot getting my friend moved out here but now I am just hoping for a relatively easy and inexpensive journey back home.

Thanks in advance for any tips anyone has.

I’m taking my partner on a birthday trip in July and would love some recommendations on things to do in the area. It will be both of our first times staying in Vermont and we’re so excited!

We’ll be spending our time in the Brattleboro/Putney area and we’re looking for antique/thrift/quirky stores, farms, and overall cool spots to visit. Im planning on visiting the waterfall in Putney and stopping by the farmers market! My partner is also vegan so we’re planning on eating at vegan af but would love other recommendations for eats and sweet treats!

Thank you for taking the time to read and I look forward to exploring your community! <3

I bought a ticket for this event but I can't make it because I'm all the way up in Burlington, VT and have to get back to work the next day! https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/mushroom-church-brattleboro-vt-tickets-861726837167

Im working and cant go but if you want the tickets dm me and ill send them. First person to ask gets em. No catch, just would hate to see them go to waste. i live in burlington and dont know anybody in southern VT so figured id post here.

Hello!

I am hoping to hear if anyone has good things to say about a local bank. Moving from out of state, and I wonder if there is one in particular the town loves.

Ideally it would be a bank with good values and keep their money local.

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone else noticed an odd smell just when you're getting on 91N at exit 2? First few times I thout it was my car but I smell it almost every time and my car smells fine.

We're looking for recommendations for an electrician who can wire a home charger for our car sometime in late August/early September.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
