Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

HEALTHY LIVING PSA

Hello,
I’m writing this on the behalf of everybody who’s employed at every Healthy Living location. It’s understood that there’s been a very noticeable wait for check out lines for the last couple of months that has just been getting worse as time goes on. Please be respectful to the employees. It’s not their fault that the company has decided to fire a large part of their employment as a form of retaliation. This is not only putting strain on front end, but also every department. This is leading to employees quitting mid shift or never returning to work again since the strain does not equal the pay.

A large part of the employees live paycheck to paycheck and do not get paid enough to deal with the nasty attitudes some have been giving. Also, not every employee is trained to run a register as they have stopped cross training employees ever since the union situation begun. Trust me, workers have been asking for individual raises for forever now and if they’re given any at all it’s usually a couple of cents. I’m not talking $0.50, I’m talking under $0.20. Even employees who have been with the company for many years are being denied raises they rightfully deserve.

If you cannot bare the thought of waiting 15 minutes in line for over prices groceries, I recommend Trader Joe’s. Otherwise, we don’t want to hear it. Go complain to management, not the employees that just want to to pay bills.
Thank you.

DHS nationwide surge will target Vermont

It talks about targeting sanctuary cities so I’m wondering if they’ll target Burlington again. As far as I’m aware, ICE has reduced activity in the Burlington area after community defenders showed them how they felt about their presence on March 11th and has stuck to rural areas where it’s harder to amass community defenders in a short time span.

Let’s see Vermont come back from its current condition. No matter how you vote, we need to see some measurable change. I’m sure everyone can agree with that statement. Every one of us knows that there are issues that cannot be pushed aside anymore.

LET’S GO VERMONT! LET’S BRING BACK OUR SHINE ON ELECTION DAY! ✨
