When my friend declared that Saint Michael's is "truly in the middle of nowhere", he was not entirely wrong but Church Street proves that the campus is only situated a bus ride away from one of America's liveliest towns with offerings such as the South End Art Hop, Fashion's Night Out, jazz nights at the Flynn and movie festivals at the Roxy. The streets of Burlington are throbbing with life; they're lined with crazy acrobatic shows, specialty boutiques, live musical performances and funky cafés. One of my most thrilling concert experiences was actually in Burlington; I attended the Alfredo Rodriguez Trio jazz cabaret night at the Flynn last Saturday and was blown away - the musicians were passionate and having so much fun, the audience gave lively responses and the intimate atmosphere made for a perfect night.

And for your enjoyment - I present you with Burlington's very own street performers:
