Description
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Monday, January 12th. Kick off your week with the buzz around town, where community spirit is heating up this chilly January morning.
Right now, our City Council is gearing up for tonight's meeting at 6pm, tackling key issues that shape daily life from public safety to neighborhood priorities, so tune in if you want your voice heard in the Queen Citys future. Meanwhile, Dear Lucy on Church Street is saying goodbye after years of boutique charm, with owner Melissa Desautels pointing to downtown safety woes and fading foot traffic as the tough culprits, a stark reminder of how these challenges ripple through our local shops and sidewalks. On a brighter note, Burlington Democrats just named their picks for March elections, setting up a council showdown where theyre poised to hold their majority, keeping the political pulse steady as we head into Town Meeting Day.
For politics beyond city hall, Governor Scott zeroed in on education reform in his State of the State, pushing big changes that could transform classrooms and opportunities for our kids right here in Chittenden County. And theres closure in a tough chapter, as a local man received 14 years for a 2022 fatal shooting, bringing resolution to one of several gun incidents that shook our streets back then.
But lets shift to the fun stuff keeping Burlington vibrant. Head to Leddy Arena this morning for public skate from 9 to 10:30am, perfect for gliding into the day with family or friends, building those winter memories on ice. Over at Foam Brewers on the waterfront, catch Madigan Linnane wrapping up yesterday afternoons thoughtful folk-pop set, with a packed lineup ahead like gay4disco reviving LGBTQ dance vibes this Friday at 8pm, or a classic rock dance band Saturday at 6pm all free and fueling our live music scene that connects us through indie sounds and brews. Catch The Elovaters reggae-rock energy at Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington on January 22nd, tickets going fast for that higher vibe.
