The Wrap

Halloween landed on a Saturday this year, and the clocks fell back the same night, so Burlington bars had a busier night. At The Other Place, the small pool bar next to the old Radio Bean, regular Alana Bettello saw a line for the bathroom, and Halloween won't fall on a Saturday again until 2037.
