I love local stores, the small ones, that are obviously well cared for by the customers, owners and staff. And, I love toys. This place is a great mix of the two. High quality toys and games are available right in downtown Montpelier in this little shop. Lego's and train sets, dolls, puzzles and books. They have something for everyone, and great window displays, too.

Every town needs an effective pharmacy. Brooks has one. It is a nothing special store, but they always have in stock the advertised specials, and often have a good clearance selection. Located in the center of town, easy to get to, as long as you don't have to park, and an easy place to pop in to grab a soda, snack, or your much need prescription.

Marko the Magician is a local celebrity. He deserves it. He puts in time at local resteraunts, festivals and functions and is able to dazzle the young and old, alike. I've seen him perform at adult only functions, where his act gets a little more risque than his day to day tricks. Really have to be a people person to do this for a living, and Marko is that!

The Barre Montpelier area has started to gain the attention of the big box stores. Enter blockbuster video. This location offers nothing that it's bigger stores don't have. An ok selection of current movies line the shelves, awaiting a trip to your home for viewing. The staff is willing to help search and select, and there is never a line.

welcome to small town America, where if we donโt have it - and we don't - you can order it from the catalog. This is a small location, even for Penney's standards. It is an anchor store in a small mall, and the choices are both limited and pricey. They do have a salon and a catalog desk. The catalog desk is probably the best feature of this store.

The food is ok, the scenery is great, and the staffing is ok. I've had Sambelโs catering and it is decent enough, but like the restaurant, it is not as high class as you might think. They definitely are geared towards an older crowd, with early dinner hours, and meals that appeal to the previous generations. Sambels might be past its glory days.

The food at the Ming Moon does not impress me. It is mediocre at best. However, they offer many choices of dishes, and the upside to every buffet - the food is hot and waiting when you are ready. ...
The food at the Ming Moon does not impress me. It is mediocre at best. However, they offer many choices of dishes, and the upside to every buffet - the food is hot and waiting when you are ready. The service here is good enough, and they are quick to refill a glass or clear a plate.

This local business survived many years in this location, but is no longer with us. The age of down town shopping may be past, as we watch stores that carry quality merchandise get shut down as the can not compete with the larger stores that have greater buying power and advertising budgets.
I could never afford to shop here.

What a wonderful place. Pizza cooked in a wood fired oven. The stacks of wood are from local forests. With their original offering of pizza toppings, something new to try every night. Great beer, and a room full of pool tables. Conveniently located right in down town Barre, a good deal for good food, and good clean fun.

I hate shopping for big ticket items. I always feel like the salesman expects me to think he won't eat dinner if I don't buy. After a day of appliance shopping, I made my way to Bouchard Pierce. After having been ignored, talked down to, and stalked, I got answers to my basic questions and made my purchase with no trouble. Delivery was just as scheduled. No problems, smooth as silk.
