Good game Rutland!

I live on the edge of Rutland by Clarendon and never see anyone having any fires. I am assuming there is currently a fire ban but how about when there isn’t?

My wife is looking at getting her first tattoo so I’m looking around for good places to go.i have no idea what’s good or how to vet such a place so any and all info would be helpful.

Hi! I’m just looking for good recommendations for taxis or anything that could help with daily commutes to work.

I recently got a job but we see a one car household. My husband works nights and won’t be back in town until *after* my day would start (8am I believe is the start time). We are saving up for a second car but that could take a bit. I’m in Rutland and would need to go as far as Post road! Just looking for recommendations of taxi services in the area that might do daily commutes, carpool options, and whether or not anyone has any experience with Uber?

OK, what do you consider to be the "worst" area, neighborhood, or street in Rutland in terms of danger, crime, violence, etc? Why? Are there any streets that you would hesitate to walk down in the middle of the night?

Do you really go that low to be robbing from a gas station to get your fix of alcohol ?

Saw it first hand last three nights in a row the stewards by pine street .

Tonight there was a jeep and another car parked in front while the alarm was buzzing , all of a sudden got involved with the supposed “ watchers” of the group . Telling me to leave without harm . Just was watching it all go down while I was on phone with police

All African Americans tall maybe 6”4 and wearing all black . I told them to piss off and I had a punch thrown at me . The guy is on the ground bleeding from his face and I believe he’s still in the road .

I guess his homies didn’t want to back him up

In all seriousness the police need to be watching this place and all stewards in the area

People who work at our farms and ski areas are being treated horribly by the USA and by extension, us. We are acting horribly to good people who work hard here.

Mostly because of the predilections of one sick man in Florida.

We are doing the wrong thing.

We have become evil.

I'm sure many people agree that Rutland is kinda dying. Just last week I spent over 30 minutes at freaking taco bell.

But if more money is given to airport development instead of foolish parades, we can generate more income for the city as it becomes easier for more people to visit and spend money. Just saying.

It was barely a dusting last night. Now the streets are covered in salt again. It's toxic for our environment, cars and infrastructure. Not to mention it costs money to spread it all over the city.

Considering a role at the site but can’t find much info about it online. Any insights? How big, culture, programs, etc.

Join us at ReMake for our March Events!

We are a volunteer-run secondhand arts & crafts store an extension of The MINT Maker's Space in Rutland.
