In honor of the occasion, I want to give recognition to three other ARers who have been very helpful--perhaps without their even knowing it. 1.  Barbara Todaro--somehow, despite running a b...

Technically, there are timeframes within which offers ne...

A title like that ought to get people's attention... I suppose there are places in the country where all the houses are the same, and where all the houses kind of make sense.  What fun is that?  I had the pleasure of touring a few homes for sale in Barre today.  My favorite adventure was for the ...

Best Slice in Montpelier, VT I told the guy behind the counter that Village Pizza in Montpelier, VT has the best slices in town.  He asked me, "According to whom?"  According to me!
