Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. The New SEABA Center Is a Hub for Visual and Performing Arts (sevendaysvt.com) — Burlington's South End just gained a major cultural hub with the new SEABA Center on Pine Street, offering free gallery shows, frequent live music, and flexible event rentals. Local artists, musicians, and even political campaigns are already filling the 7,000-square-foot space, while regular Porch Sessions and First Friday openings give residents fresh reasons to visit the arts district year-round.
2. New clinic offers specialized suicide care in Vermont (burlingtonfreepress.com) — Burlington residents now have access to the new Asha Clinic on South Prospect Street, a specialized outpatient center focused entirely on suicide risk and related mental health conditions. Run in partnership with UVM Health and funded by Vermont's Four Pines Fund, the clinic offers assessments, therapy, telehealth, and relapse-prevention planning, aiming to lower barriers to expert suicide-focused care in the region.
3. Public Hearing Notice – City of Burlington Annual Report to HUD (sevendaysvt.com) — Burlington residents are invited to review and comment on the city's annual HUD report detailing how federal Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds were spent through June 2025. A draft is available starting September 11, 2025, with a key public hearing scheduled for September 16, 2026, where neighbors can share views on housing and community development needs.
4. Cleanup underway at Burlington's City Hall Park (wcax.com) — City Hall Park in downtown Burlington is getting extra cleanup and enforcement attention to tackle debris, open drug use, and encampments that have discouraged many visitors. A city working group is testing changes like blocked parking spots, more sidewalk cleaning, and added porta-potties while also connecting unhoused people in the park with available services.
5. 802 News: Journalist Nat Winthrop's greatest hits (wcax.com) — Veteran Vermont journalist Nat Winthrop is revisiting decades of independent reporting, including coverage tied to Bernie Sanders' 1981 Burlington mayoral run, in his new book "On the Record." The collection highlights 17 deeply reported stories on topics from Norwich University students to Ben & Jerry's activism, many of which still echo current political and social debates.
