‘I can’t very well prevent Marlboro from getting any bigger than it is already’
How would a 13-year-old resident in 1971 imagine her small town 50 years later, in 2021? With three-lane highways, an airport, and lots of skiing, for starters. And cemetery maintenance.
In the year 2025, Marlboro, Vermont will be different. The swamp on Sunset Lake Road will be drained and have apartment buildings built on top of it. A shopping plaza could be built on the field across from the Muller's Golden Eagle Motel, which by then would be five stories high and hold 550 people.
There will be about one drug store, three supermarkets, two hardware stores, a toy and candy store, two clothing department stores, and an art shop (ten altogether), which is quite a difference from the amount we have now: none.
