Hello and Happy Sunday, Burlington!

As I mentioned on Friday, I’ll be away this week. I’ll do my best to check in once a day, but if you don’t hear from me, know that the Buzz will be back to its regularly scheduled programming next week!

Share this Buzz with someone who hates driving over potholes on Cambridge Street.
