Anyone know a place, preferably in town or not very far off, to pick unsprayed dandelion leaves?  Thanks!

Is there any way to remove stuff that other people put on your Facebook page? 

It does not seem right that someone else can fill your page with tasteless material.

I have been hearing that 5 Guys restaurant is coming to the old Pizza Hut location. But then I just heard that they could not be approved for a big enough sign by the town, so they went packing.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Anyone know what area CSAs are operating and taking new customers this year?

Hey, I have heard rumors of a program starting up in Brattleboro called solarize.  The rumors say it is about bringing the cost way down for home solar electric systems.  Does anyone have information?  I can find nothing on the town website or on iBrattleboro.

Anyone know a good, reasonably priced plumber to install a kitchen sink?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the seating capacity of the old town hall in Brattleboro. Specifically, I’m wondering how many people could fit into the second floor of the building.

Anyone have a solid number to offer?

I am curious as to who is running for the Brattleboro Town School Board this year.

It has been a week of blinking traffic lights in Brattleboro.  Any idea as to why this is happening and when it will be fixed?

The advance weather forecasts for the mid-February ski jump look good. More snow, perhaps, comes later in the week.

I was reading minutes of old Selectboard meetings from the 1950’s and noticed a mention of permission being granted for a banner to be hung advertising the Summer Ski Jump.

What was the Summer Ski Jump and why don’t we do it nowadays?

Anyone figure out DSINEOHTR SUBS?

I had occasion to travel Putney Road today (Thursday) form about 3 till about 5, from the Common to Black Mtn. Rd..

For this entire time, traffic was bumper-to-bumper heading North.

Southbound was normal.

Does anybody know why the Northbound traffic was so slow?

I urgently need a tripod or tripod adaptor that will hold a Smartphone. I can’t find one in any local stores and the one I ordered online got lost in the mail. (I’m having really bad luck with this!!) I need this for a project that is due THIS FRIDAY 1/31/2014! So I need this in my hands absolutely no later than Wednesday (but tomorrow, Tuesday, would be better!!!).

Please please please email me if you can help me out! You’d be helping out a poor artist with big dreams who’s desperately trying to make a video for a contest with a cash prize she really needs!!! I can return it to you on Saturday if you want it back. I can meet you at the Cotton Mill.

Maybe car folks know the answer. Why are there more cars and trucks on the road with double exhaust systems? Isn’t one expensive enough?

It seems that whenever I’m stuck behind one, the smell of exhaust is amplified with these double muffler and tailpipe combos.

Just received a call from B.U.H.S. about some incident that occurred a the school yesterday involving a couple of students and police.

Does anyone have any information?

Cathy Barrows has been our Animal Control Officer for many years but she no longer is. Questioning at the Police Dept. brings “I don’t know” answers, as does asking at the Town Clerk’s office. Seems hush hush to me, but I think the public should know what happened to this loyal and knowledgable woman after so many years in the position. Does anyone know?

Has anyone else smelled raw sewage around the corner of Canal and Main St? The smell intermittently permeates the area, all the way down a little into Hinsdale on the way to Walmart, depending on which way the wind is blowing. 

Is it coming from Brattleboro’s new wastewater treatment plant? We shouldn’t be smelling that in town, especially the downtown area where there’s a relative high number of people. So disgusting, just another reason to move.

…how much snow Bratt got and what the current wind chill is up there.

I’ve lived here for 15 years. I know there are so many amazing things about the Brattleboro area, but fear that like most folks, I’ve become blind to some of them due to familiarity.  

I have a friend from out of town coming for a week.  Suggestions on local must-do’s? Hidden gems? Things I may have forgotten we have?

I’ve got local restaurants covered.  We’ll definitely take in a movie at the Latchis.  Visiting the Brattleboro Museum is on the agenda. If the weather cooperates, we’ll hike the Retreat trails and maybe Fort Dummer. 

Thanks for your suggestions!

I have a prescription and am now trying to remember the name of this store in or near Colony Mill in Keene, NH where I once bought glasses for $50. Does anyone know if this store still exists, and if yes, its name and/or location?

Or, any other place for cheap prescription glasses.
Thanks.
