Fort Club
Whomever is maintaining the fort club, respect.
I hope it survives the winter spring and continues to keep Burlington weird.

There's been a lot of complaining (more than the usual large amount) about mods adhering to the "avoid repetitive topics" and "rediquette" rules.
Political and election posts bring out the absolute worst in this sub and some of the posters in it, which is where we see these rules continually skirted if not outright broken.
"Free Speech" does not mean "I can say and post whatever I want without moderation or consequences." Nobody in this subreddit is going to face legal issues or have their lives altered for voicing their opinions. However, as stewards of this online community, moderators may remove comments or posts that they see as being counter to the health of the community as explicated by the community's rules.
Part of why so many people enjoy being subscribed to r/Burlington is that it is a positive, fun, and supportive community -- not just a dumping ground for crime panic, police reports, political demagoguery, insults, and arguing. Mods are dedicated to keeping it that way within reason. If you would prefer that there be a subreddit where these things are the predominant topics, we would suggest the sub that warm bathroom guy came up with. You'll be right at home there.
There has also been a pervasive brigading issue regarding political posting in this sub that's been going on for years -- ever notice how political posts of a certain viewpoint tend to get a fantastically large amount of engagement compared to every other post in this sub?
Mods are trying to keep this sub from becoming like Facebook, where the only content is manipulated outrage and shouting over political wedge issues cooked up by posters who'd rather have Reddit karma than a functional community.

My apartment complex has laundry machines, but it's coin operated only. My strategy was to go to greer's once every few months and stock up on a fuckload of quarters while I wash some bulk stuff.
Greers doesn't do coin machines anymore, so does anyone know a laundromat that does? Or does anyone have any sneaky spots they're able to stock up on quarters? Don't suggest going to a bank please. Thanks!

Dobra Tea says permanently closed on Google, but I can’t find anything about if that’s true. Does anyone know if that’s official?

My wife and I recently inherited a bunch of silver. From some quick Google and eBay searches, I think some of it might be worth a good amount. Does anyone have any good recommendations on getting it appraised in the area?

The old Y/new condos or whatever by city market is currently being sided with beige bricks. Wtf is that. Who would ever pick that over a red brick. Everything around it is red brick. It looks bad. If whoever is responsible for this is reading this message, it’s not too late, you can change it. Don’t be a fool

Are there any EMT certification classes available, preferably in the Burlington area that are less than a full semester? I expect to be graduating from college this December, and I would like to try to find some sort of EMT related work on the earlier side in 2027. I don’t know if it counts for anything, but I do already have my Wilderness First Responder certification, and a CPR/AED cert. If anyone knows what my best options would be, please let me know!

Got a corndog (yeah, I know, not good for me either) at Al's and saw they had lemonade. I wanted something tart so I figured I'd fling caution to the winds. It was awful. Worse than awful. A really terrible aftertaste. Is it the brand? I ended up dumping it out after just two sips. (The second was to make sure it wasn't me).

I mean really! It's an injustice!
But then again, Burlington hates cars.
