    I was definitely excited to see this. It won't make my trips to VT any less expensive, but great to see that they are going to have a place of their own.

    Wow, this certainly doesn't make Waterbury any less of my favorite town in the world.

    They've been radio silent since August. Any one in the area seen or heard any updates?

    Sometimes you put something out into the ether and it pays off. I'll be on a trip to HF on the 19th so this worked out perfect.
