I'm in St. Albans, about 30 miles northwest of Burlington. I grew up in New York, but close enough to Vermont that people who were severely injured or sick were brought to Burlington.
I went to Bennington College, so I've also lived at the other end of the state.
I love my adopted state and there is no way I could be convinced to move. Life here is just so rational compared to other parts of the US.
Occasionally I get nostalgic for books, but for the most part I miss absolutely nothing about working for B&N. I loved selling books, but I hated supervising people, and our store's staff averaged around 80 people, at holiday time it could get up to 120. Yuck. I'm too much of an introvert for that.
