I’m planning to visit Bennington College in the next month and wanted to scope out the rest of Bennington to see what it’s like. Are there any must go or must do before leaving places in Bennington?

If we all collectively report some of her posts for misinformation, will that get the group suspended or shut down? Or even just her would be great.

If this is Bennington community in Vermont. Please try to find my birds. I lost them in willow park VT. Please find them. The reward is 150$ for both. If you find them please put your phone number and I will call you and pick it up. I lost it on October 6th 2024

Just a bit of a rant into the ether of cyberspace after another bummer meal where you leave with a big bill and a bad meal in the stomach.

Why, oh why...can Bennington not have one consistently good place to go out and pay someone to consistently produce an above average meal?

Yes, you can pick and choose a few places that do a few things well... Byte in Hoosic (love the pizza...please open up more days). Harvest (great chimi, fantastic beer), 421... (Occasionally great specials and good cocktails ). Pangea...(Best burger in the area) But....but, where is that place you bring your partner to celebrate a birthday, gather on a holiday or for that special night out?

Union? Do you have a chef yet?, because it.seems the line cooks are doing all the work. Millers Toll.... good concept, slow service and eh..? Bistro 42? It's Sysco food slathered in sauce... Four Chimneys.. has to get it together overall... Slow and sometimes absent service and uneven food.

So, where do you folks go? Manchester? Williamstown?

Yes, I will go back and try again. 99% of the problem is the food. The servers, bartenders and employees have all been wonderful (maybe slow, but I blame the kitchen for that).

Ok, I'm done bitching and moaning.

I have Boost mobile and it barely works at all in Bennington. What phone carrier do you use that is generally reliable in the area?

Is anyone else in Kris Kings Facebook group? It’s called Bennington scanner and surrounding areas. I’m curious if any locals, who can speak freely on this site and not be censored/banned/removed from her group, feel similar to me?

In the annual “Best of Bennington County” insert there was one that won for best “something….” I only remember it had a weird name and a very interesting menu. Like, it’s a kind of take out place I think. Immigrant owners maybe? If that helps. I’m driving through tomorrow and am trying to resist the urge to go to Phil’s again. Man, his stuff is addictive.

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!

My fiance and I are thinking about moving to Bennington in about a year- or one of the surrounding towns. I’m originally from upstate New York and have been living in Arizona for about 8 years. Looking to get back to the north east for family reasons. For those of you that live there- do you like it? We are in a low 30s, looking to have kids soon. I work remotely in mental health and my partner is a wilderness medic/standard paramedic. Looking for a quiet place to settle down and maybe make some friends with similar interests! Any big selling points or terrible things about living here?

Edit to add: how are the schools for kids and is it a dog friendly place?

Traveling through Bennington and plan to eat breakfast for dinner. Would love a place that serves some local syrup. Would be in town around 5. Any suggestions?

Hi Bennington, I have a sweet lovely plott hound / boxer / pit mixed breed dog that I need to sadly rehome. He has all the vaccines and is in great health. I live in NYC but am coming to VT to camp this week and would be able to meet up if anyone knows anyone who might be interested. He's such a lover and gets along with all other animals, would make a great farm or family dog, very smart and happy to do his guarding duties. I want him on some acreage out of NYC to be outdoors more regularly. Have another dropbox of videos to send if requested.

Thanks either way!

Hi everyone,

My partner and I will be visiting Bennington and currently stumped on sights to see or restaurants to visit.

Does anyone know of any events happening on the 4th?

Greatly appreciate the help in advance!

I'm not affiliated with this in any way, but thought I'd raise awareness, as I only just read about it myself.

They’re rolling out with 2 of each this morning (4/9) across the top of Twitchell hill, heading west with lights and sirens.

Any idea what’s going on?

I need to move by mid April, ideally to Bennington area as I work in Arlington, and the majority of the listings I can find are two beds one bath. Would anyone like to share a two bedroom and split rent ? Probably not evenly most likely I would pay the larger sum, but I can’t commit to over 1k of rent every month for a two bedroom without forseeing a roommate moving in fairly quickly. Im a 21 year old ftm breakfast chef who likes to paint and play acoustic guitar, I’m not the cleanest man on earth, but certainly far from the dirtiest, and I’d love pets if our apartment allows them. DM me if you’re interested and you think we would get along. I’d like to meet you in person before we make any decisions, I’m sure you would agree that’s wise.
