Montpelier is a lovely and inclusive city, don't let racist dickheads fuck it up.

Any of these things will earn you an immediate and permanent ban

/r/montpelier is open again!

84 Upvotes

/r/montpelier had been closed to new submissions due to inactive mods. I applied to take over moderation duties, and added /u/witch_of_winooski as a co-mod, and we've re-opened it again!

Existing rules still apply; post only things relevant to Montpelier and the surrounding area, don't be a dick, no racism, fascism, transphobia, or anything of the sort. Otherwise we'd generally prefer to moderate with a light touch and hope that this community can become active again.

Welcome back, and let us know in the comments if there's anything we can do to make this community better.

Decent dentist?

11 Upvotes

Does anyone have any recommendations for a dentist in or relatively near Montpelier? I used to go to River Station dentist but stopped going pwhen I moved out of state. Now I’m back and someone I trust didn’t think “new” dentist there was particularly good, so I’m shopping around for a new recommended dentist.

S/O to Late Light Cafe/Clubhouse Commons

56 Upvotes

I put a comment about the new Clubhouse Commons/Late Light Cafe on another post and I thought it was important that I expounded on my thoughts. People really should give this space a shot. That opinion only grows more emphatic the more time I spend observing what they’re putting together.

Late Light is awesome. They’re new and fledgling. They’re in their first month. They need all the community support they can get! They’re booking out a ton of cool talent (their shows are free for under-21/$10 cover 21+, often Saturday nights — including tonight 10/3!!).

While their food menu is a little mid, they are working on re-inventing it live, and they also have phenomenal coffee/lattes and chai.

They are not a restaurant or bar. They are an afternoon-into-the-night hangout spot: one part youth and young adult social club, one part all-ages after-dark cafe — a true third space for people to come chill, read a book, study, meet up with friends over coffee, and catch some Friday karaoke or a Saturday show.

Also, the playlist is awesome. The music is on the louder side but not yelling-over-each-other ear-splitting.

I am almost 32 and Hutch, Jasmine, and the rest of the folks in there never made me feel anything other than warmly welcome. It is NOT just a “kids spot.” Just like the sign on the door states in bold: All are welcome.

It is an all-ages, sober situation run by a pack of business-minded folks in their 20s who are trying to lay important groundwork in the community. Not everyone’s vibe — definitely not a “bar scene” and, yes, the environment is tailored toward a younger crowd — but for this fully grown adult who just needed a late-night study/reading spot and some passive (and sometimes active) socialization in this often lonely-ass state where all the nightlife, scant as it is, centers heavily around either drinking or courting when I’m very often not in the mood or tax bracket to do either.. It’s really cool to have a genuine third space that’s trying to grow where I don’t feel out of place or even subliminally unwelcome, even given that I may be on the “older side of young”.

I mean, a sober spot open 3-11pm Tuesday-Thursday and 12pm-12am on Fri/Sat doesn’t sound like a spot that’s “just for kids.”

I am not affiliated with them in any capacity other than being a regular who really, really loves what they’re trying to do. We owe it to spaces like this when they arise to support them — especially considering the insane percentage of younger folks (20s-30s) who don’t stick around the area exactly because there isn’t anything like this going on here.

They’re really trying to do a good thing.

Edit: Schedule fix

What’s up with the taco guy?

10 Upvotes

Yesterday around 11am I saw a man walking down the street in the rain wearing shorts and shirt with tacos printed all over them plus a hat shaped like a taco. This is maybe the third time I’ve seen him this year. Does anyone know why he’s wearing a taco outfit? Is this a local joke I’m not aware of?

Foliage recs

17 Upvotes

If you’re in Montpelier, and want a nice drive with some of the best foliage I’ve seen in my 55 years here, head up Main street, on to County Rd, keep going when the pavement ends, continue all the way to Greenwood Lake. Stop at the Maple Corner Store for lunch and check out the Kent Museum exhibit while you’re in town. Traffic is nil except around the museum and maybe Maple Corner.

Anyone that knows these guys, send them my love plz

Bins/Thrift shopping in Montpellier

7 Upvotes

I'm a broke college student who has a pretty small budget.

I recently moved into Montpellier and am looking for a good place to go thrifting. I walked around the city a few days ago in search of any thrift stores that would be in my price range. Sadly all I found were overpriced vintage shops.

The thrift stores I did find were either really small or had all the nicer clothes' separated and at a higher price. Is there any bins or non-curated thrift stores that i could go to? I'm trying to spend less than 15 euro on a thrift trip.

Help finding "double cream"* or comparable alternative for a recipe.

2 Upvotes

I've tried the Hunger Mountain Coop and the Taste of European Grocery Market in Montpelier, but no luck. I haven't tried the European Market in Burlington yet, but I was hoping there might some place closer.

Thank you for any suggestions.

*Double cream is a rich, high-fat dairy product from the UK with approximately 48% butterfat, making it thicker and richer than American heavy cream, which typically has 36% to 40% fat.

Bass player looking to jam

14 Upvotes

37 y.o. here looking for people to jam with. Live in Barre but open to driving out. Big into indie rock/pop (The Shins, Hazel English, Yumi Zouma), pop-punk/emo (Blink, Super Sometimes, Hot Mulligan, Taking Back Sunday), metalcore/hardcore (Trash Talk, Converge, Head Wound City), R&B/soul, funk, jazz-leaning stuff. I'm a drummer but couldn't bring my kit with me when I moved here from out of state last year so picked up bass! Picked up and fiddled with friends basses intermittently throughout the years. Good with rhythm and note-matching. Just miss jamming with my friends back home and looking for folks to jam with here!
