To be fare, the town of Burlington, Vermont, is an attractive, fashionable small city - progressive - and well represented by two noted, and respected colleges. And most importantly there, I was off to see my oldest grandchild - who after finally leaving home, was off to a unique college of her own choosing. And sometime, somewhere in-between, I found also an underside - a little bit of Burlington's and Vermont's, notable quirky charm.
