BRATTLEBORO-Since moving to Brattleboro over a year ago, I have learned that there are so many cool things about this town.
I love the history, and how there's so many things to do - movies, bowling, ice skating, shopping, snowboarding, and even a pinball arcade! The excellent Parks and Recreation Department will keep everyone busy. I love how people here get out and demonstrate for justice and democracy.
Another thing that makes Brattleboro special is how this town is inclusive and kind. I attended a Compassionate Brattleboro event at the first-rate Brooks Memorial Library, where I joined up with their Compassionate Dining group. It's great to see that many restaurants are positive about the possibility of serving all guests, even people who want plant-based choices.
I'm sure that having inclusive restaurants that care about people, animals, and the planet will keep locals and tourists coming back for more. I can add compassionate dining to my list of cool things about Brattleboro!
