Reaching out to thank you personally for sharing downtown Burlington with such passion. Still thinking of some of the things we discussed yesterday. (Via phone) After our tour I went back and stopped at all the places we touched on in our walk and loved every minute of it. You were right about so many things. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.
