Location
Burlington is a great little city in Vermont, it is quite small and yet somehow still the biggest city in all of the state.
A lot of elements here remind me of San Francisco, especially the brick roads of church street. They also suprisingly are starting to have a little homeless like San Francisco, so maybe it is really like it(although much smaller).
