My guess based on the clues you gave is Jericho / Jericho center or even Underhill. Second guess would be Hardwick. Though that's much further from the Stowe vibe. Johnson also checks most of the boxes, but again, not a strong Stowe vibe.

Edit: The cobbler should narrow it down a lot. There are so few. Certainly not Johnson or Hardwick. Likely not Jericho.

It could also be dollar general, not dollar tree. Or even family dollar. "Dollar Store" could mean various things.

I get that. You are right. And Hardwick in set amongst hills But Hardwick has had none of anything like a dollar store in it’s downtown center in the last five years.

I don't remember what dollar store it was. It could have been any of the ones you mentioned, I just remember it looking out of place next to the rest of the town.

Don’t think Hardwick’s Dollar Tree / supermarket is/was on Main Street down down, was it?

I'm pretty sure there was a cobbler but not 100%. I'm googling now, based on what I'm remembering.

It's not Hardwick, Hardwick looks significantly more modern than where I was. There were no gas stations or any kind of modern looking stores. I didn't see any modular homes or any kind of modern looking apartment buildings. The reason I'm remembering the dollar store is because it stuck out like a sore thumb in comparison with the rest of the town, it was the only place with a big, colorful modern sign.

I'll keep editing this post as I go down that list, but I'm avoiding the places I've lived in or traveled through regularly (pretty much the entire Northwest corner of the state, and the entirety of Rt 7).

Edit: Was also not Jericho/Underhill.

You were there just once? So the flags may have been out for Veterans Day and not necessarily year round?

Ah, you're right, forgot about Veterans day. I knew I was missing a patriotic holiday somewhere, and that would have been right around that time (I think?). The trees were still green but starting to turn. I know it was during or after October because that's when I got the driving privileges for the job.

So probably not November? I'm going to have to recheck that, I've been in Louisiana for too long, I'm forgetting how seasons work.
