Fantastic experience: My wife and I have visited this location many times over the years when we visit her home state of Vermont. The location, as many things in Burlington, is easy to get to (speaking as someone from Austin ) with beautiful nearby lake views and of course so much arts and technology going on at the Innovation Center itself. Well worth exploring!

Positive experience: Just a building full of offices

David Boyden Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Great place. I saw the Palestinian protest and the pulling the fire alarm. The protest was justified; the pulling of the fire alarm should be a FELONY! Medical care is being performed her. A patient doesn't know how vulnerable it is .I had a serious medical condition that could cost me my life. The careless and stupid actions could have cost a life. USE CARE The personal at the V.A. clinic are top-notch..

Fantastic experience: Went to get a new social security card and met the nicest guard I have ever seen. So friendly and helpful. As were the person that helped me.

Mickey Moone Published on Google

Negative experience: Visited Social Security admin. Person wearing red shirt with blue alligator or crocodile patch over heart, with a bit Scoots beard, told us the U.S. Treasury is not open to the public. He must be on a show called Food Trek...it's like Star Trek but in a vampire theme where you're confined to Spaceship Earth and not allowed to leave because your a primitive carnivore. Maybe that's why the government is a circus or Carni-vale. Did the London Eye see what happened to us here?
