Re: “Burlington's Brickwork Art Studios to Be Closed”
I think there are a few studios currently available at GeneratorVT.com. They charge $200/month.

Re: “Why Are Top Vermont Restaurants Closing?”
Sadly, it looks like the Bluebird Coffee Stop at Innovation Center closed too. There is a sign on the door stating they closed Aug 28th.

Re: “Burlington's Bluebird Tavern Has Closed for Good”
When they dropped all the entrees from the menu, eliminated the awesome focaccia, and introduced those way too pricey, too small small plates it was only matter of time before they lost all their regulars and turned away all new customers. It really sucks for the staff that the complaints fell on deaf ears. This is a real good lesson for restaurant owners. You need to maintain communications and listen to your customers, instead of letting onsite management double down on bad decisions or allow them to ignore or dismiss complaints.

Re: “Taste Test: Junior's Rustico”
If anything, this review goes too easy on Junior's Rustico. Long Island should sue Frankie for tarnishing the area's reputation.

Re: “Many Police Agencies in Vermont Stop Using License Plate Readers”
I've witnessed the Williston Police drive down every single row, scanning every license plate, at all the large Williston retailers. Even grocery stores. But most frequently seen this at Walmart and Home Depot. Apparently when they get a "hit", they park in a less conspicuous spot, watch and wait for the individual to return to the car. Then swoop in and make an arrest. Always assumed it was people with open warrants but would be interested to know more.
