up-state/down-state

[victor steinbok]

I looked at a fairly detailed map and the two towns that appear to be on par
or larger than Rutland in the south are the two college towns--Brattleboro
and Bennington. I did not notice any other towns of comparable size, but I
could have missed a few, I suppose. But about two thirds of the territory
south of the Rutland-White River Junction line is the National Forest and
the towns I recall in the area near Rutland and Lebanon, NH (including WRJ)
don't even deserve the proverbial one horse.
