60 Ways in Which Vermont is Unique Steven Schnaars

This book offers a lighthearted but comprehensive listing of the ways in which Vermont is unique. Its goal is to amuse but also inform. Vermont is small but it differs from other states in a surprisingly large number of ways. Many are well known to the locals-such as having the smallest capital in the nation and the only capital with no McDonalds. Or, that there is very little crime in Vermont but guns are very easy to get. And, of course, there are no billboards. But other unique features are less well known. Vermont, liberal as it is now, never voted for FDR in any of his four runs for President. Or, that there are no large national banks but Vermont has the fewest "unbanked" households. Or that there are only 4 escalators in the entire state. And, the richest person in Vermont has less money than the richest person in just about any other state. In total there are 60 of these "fabulous facts" that are fun to read but when considered as a whole paint a picture of a truly unique and uniquely beautiful place to live.be beyond the distance to visit.
