## Resource

Burlington’s beloved Radio Bean is closing after 22 years, crushed by a $30K insurance bill it can’t afford — but this wasn’t just a club, it was the heartbeat of the city. From live bands to poetry nights and political rallies, it nurtured local talent and fostered deep community bonds. Owner Lee Anderson, who spent nine months trying to find a buyer, hopes someone will carry on its legacy with a final weekend of music. Meanwhile, Vermont lawmakers are revisiting insurance aid laws that were passed to help venues like this — proving even good intentions can’t always save a beloved institution.
