Diamat,

I used to live in Saranac Lake and was so thankful when I ventured into Burlington....an oasis of culture in the North Country!! This was in the early 90's and Chasmen & Bem was the most impressive independent (new) bookstore around and the Richard Brautigan Library was still accepting unpublished manuscripts.

Sadly, they closed after Borders opened. Being a university town, it was obvious where the students would gravitate to.

BTW.....I LOVED the Lake Champlain ferries!
