I never realized growing up there, the postage stamps we had for property and lack of freedoms until I moved to NH. My last straw was the cops called for my fire bowl and the 100,000+ ppl that commute in and out every single day. At night the light pollution offers hardly a star. Sad what’s happened since the 70s.
I lived in BURLINGTON in the 1960's when the BURLINGTON MALL was just a big sand-pit. Houses were selling for 20 thousand dollars and less. MC DONALDS or KEMPS on 3a was selling HAMBURGERS for 15 CENTS. The new TOWN HALL was non-existent. E.T. C.
@@TheHiredGun187 Now there is traffic in that area all the time, and it doesn’t even matter day of the week or time of day. I immediately get in the left most lane until a lot of traffic clears the cloverleaf and then at Washington St I’m back in my normal lane. It’s awful.
The public schools are great. All the parents I've talked to had nothing but positive things to say about the schools. There are also a lot of private schools all around that are some of the best in the country.
Great video. Thanks for mentioning the diversity.
9:28 life long resident here, the traffic isn’t that bad. Only when the schools get out.
Don’t forget to mention that every road out of town is GRIDLOCK from 2:30pm to 6:30pm on weekdays.

The only bad thing about Burlington is route 95/128.
I live in Woburn near 38 and 95/128. I have learned to take back roads if I am going anywhere after 3pm until 7pm

What about their school districts for public schools?

I go to there and the school is good, but thing do need work.
