This Week's Issue: Bike Thefts, Crowded Sidewalks and Harry Potter
This week's Art Hop issue is on newsstands now. But fear not, news junkies! We've got the usual bunch of news and politics, too. Here's what you'll find:
- Bicycle theft is a never-ending problem in Burlington. Would a police registry help?
- Massage parlors around Vermont were busted for offering sexual services earlier this year. This Chinese spa in Barre fell under intense scrutiny, too — but it's totally legitimate.
- Pine Street sidewalks (where they exist) always get claustrophobic during the Art Hop in Burlington. Why won't the city close off parts of the street?
- Dartmouth College students have fanned out across the Upper Valley, finding immersive, mesmerizing stories for an online literary project.
- A University of Vermont professor is drawing the lightning bolt-shaped line between reading Harry Potter books and the politics of young Americans.
- And in Fair Game: Leahy, Sanders and Welch weigh whether to support President Obama's proposal for air strikes in Syria.
