It is taking a greater collaborative effort from more and more financial backers and studios to produce a movie of epic proportions. Furthermore, in order to ensure financial success, a movie needs the multi-talents of a superstar who can direct and write, as well as act. If the trend continues, this is what is in store for moviegoers.

    I haven't visited the city yet but I've gone through a few times on the train and each time we rolled through, I wanted more than anything to get off and explore but couldn't. The first impression I got when I first laid eyes on Burlington was that its a very old city that's showing its age in many areas but I still plan to visit one day.

    At 7:30, the comment about the Burlington Basket Company brought back memories. My grandfather was the head bookkeeper there for over 20 years, and died at work there early in the morning after Thanksgiving in 1956.

    So many great memories of Burlington from years back. Sad to think that much I what I knew as being part of Burlington is now gone. Burlington was a great place to be in the 70's and 80's. Would give anything to be able to go back there again during that time.

    I'd love to watch the entire video but it doesn't stream. (NPI) also, when many people treat the subject of American History they seem to pick from a very limited "Top Ten" list of period musical accompaniment as if there was nothing else and whether or not it complements the subject matter. Ragtime has no peculiar association with 19th century Burlington and seems arbitrary and distracting. Find someone with a broad exposure to American root music to make the picks. Otherwise, you do a great job presenting interesting facts.
