I moved here from Philly… the idea that Barre is “scary” is absolutely hilarious. Sure there are small town problems here with drugs and little bouts of crime, but you’ll find that anywhere that humans exist. Vermont is fucking wonderful.

Barre is VT scary. There is no location in VT that is really scary. There is no place in VT I would feel uncomfortable walking home at 2:00 am. Unless it's animals. Coyotes used to bark at me from the woods when I walked the class 4 road home as a kid.

I asked this sub for advice before my first visit to Burlington and so many responses were about how to stay safe. I was visiting from Baltimore LOL

I think you gotta keep in mind thought that people on burlington just aren't used to it. Like 6 or 7 years ago it was like how the rest of this sub is describing the state. Now theres comical levels of petty theft with a market right down town in a park where you can buy the stolen stuff. Its like entertaining but infuriating at the same time lol.
