Never heard anyone describe Bellows Falls as “cute”.

I’ll always remember it as that dumpster fire of a town I lived in during 8th grade.

It's really gotten kind of nice I think. A few good consumer businesses for locals/passers by, a tidy downtown area, a solid thrift shop, I think the train station is better than most (not that that's saying much but still), I think Bellows Falls might qualify as cute these days.

I can't quite remember the slogan but I saw a T shirt that said something like "Bellows Falls: Not as Bad as You Heard"

Reminds me of a clothing shop in White River Junction that sells shirts with the slogan: White River Junction: It's Not So Bad

I dated someone from Fellows Balls and we drove around town one night and it was just people loitering in parking lots all night. That and Jim's Arcade, which I wonder if it is still there or not?

Jim's is still there. Not sure how it stays open! BF is in a much better situation than it was when I went to high school there. It was a real mess then. It's gotten so much better!
