Reply to comment by GammaRaystogo in In Bellows Falls… by papalemingway

From spending a lot of time in BF and talking to people, they've always said that was a rumor spread by homophobic people. Bellows Falls used to be the safe place for LGBTQIA+ people in rural Vermont to be out due to places like Andrews Inn in the 70s and 80s, when Brattleboro was far more unwelcoming. It's why the town is still referred to by some as Fellows Balls.

If you’re on Facebook on the Brattleboro group, others have had issues too with this same gas station. The station denies it. VT Weights and Measures says they’ve inspected the tanks and there’s nothing wrong with them. Yet, just in one thread there’s about a dozen people with dead cars that got gas there.
