My beloved neighbors, the Allied / Circle / Fairbanks / Iris cabal, have moved out of my building into a giant new space befiting their empire. I've been rebuilding / rearranging some walls, getting that side of the building ready for a future neighbor. Is that you? 650sf of very nice industrial / studio with radiant heat floors, its own bathroom, compressed air (already piped in), fast internet, alarm system, lots of parking, lovely south-end Burlington location, friendly landlord [me]. Isn't it time you moved to Vermont?
