About the Vermont Philosophy.
As someone who maintains residency in both Vermont and PA (spend about 2 months a year in VT) its a totally different world from most of PA. Centre county and other rural areas are about the same in terms of "feel"
But my observations about Vermont. Locals are FRIENDLY, they look out for each other and most communities are the "everyone knows your name type" The largest city, Burlington doesnt even feel like a city to me. I love PA as much as i love VT. But i just wanted to point out there two totally different worlds.
BTW, interesting thread
