We can make all the jokes about the boil water order in #BTV, but I keep thinking about all the places in this country like Flint where you can never drink your tap water.

Dave's Corner 💭
Sometimes I'm surprised by the most popular story in a given issue of BTV Daily (the story that got the most clicks). On the Tuesday, February 11th edition, by far the most popular story was about Pulcinella's restaurant moving across South Burlington. I guess this restaurant must be very popular, or BTV Daily readers like to dine out. Either way, it's piqued my interest. Maybe I'll check out Pulcinella's.

Random Burlingtonian Quote of the Day 📝
Undoubtedly it is our duty, and for our best good, that we occupy and improve the faculties, with which our creator has endowed us, but so far as prejudice, or prepossession of opinion prevails over our minds, in the same proportion, reason is excluded from our theory or practice. Therefore if we would acquire useful knowledge, we must first divest ourselves of those impediments and sincerely endeavor to search out the truth: and draw our conclusions from reason and just argument, which will never conform to our inclination, interest or fancy but we must conform to that if we would judge rightly.
—Ethan Allen
