Lived in "St Jay" in the 1990s and found the people there then to be among the friendliest in Vermont. Since then the area has declined considerably. St Johnsbury Trucking, a large interstate trucking firm, Northeast Tools, Vermont Dowel and Square and Hovey's Stores have all gone out. I am surprised that the unemployment rate isn't higher.
