Over the 4th of July I spent some time in Burlington, Vermont. In many ways it is a city stuck in the 60's. Well, not necessarily the city, but the people. Following a waterfront fireworks display, for example, there was a concert given by a Grateful Dead tribute band. The music was great and the crowd of primarily young people (a relative term, I'd say 25-35) looked and acted just like the 25-35 year olds I observed as a teenager at similar events. As Yogi Berra (google it) would say, it was "deja vu all over again."

But equally as interesting to me is that Burlington has an incredible bike trail used not only by cyclists, but by walkers, joggers and runners, that extends about 14 miles from South Burlington to South Hero, with incredible views of Lake Champlain along the way. It's a long drive for a run or a bike ride, but when you think of all the people watching you can do, well worth it.
