Brattleboro vs Bennington?

ClaireOtoms

Hello Vermont Mamas and Dads! 

I am a 27 year old SAHM of one baby (8 months).  I am a Bradley Method (natural birth) instructor, and my husband is a Civil engineer. 

We currently live in Utah, but are growing increasingly frustrated with the exclusivity of the monoculture here, and we are thinking about relocating to the east coast, closer to my family.

Anyway, I know this isn't really birth or baby related, but I was wondering if all of you VT natives could tell me the pros and cons of Brattleboro and Bennington, as those seem to be the two areas we are debating between right now.  We've never been to either city so the only info I've been able to glean has been from Google.

 Thanks!
